The Somewhat New Super Mario Bros.
Picked up a copy of New Super Mario Bros.. Thoroughly enjoyed the few levels that I’ve played through.
The graphics have a nice 3D sheen to them, but it feels like a classic Mario game. Mario keeps things fresh with some new moves and new powerups. I’m definitely going to savor this one as I play through it. It’s been a long time since I got my SNES with Super Mario World packed in.
Love the TV commercial as well - it starts out with level 1-1 in SMB1. Upon grabbing the first mushroom, Mario powers up but continues to grow to screen height and everything morphs into NSMB graphics.
