The Good Plays great -- tight controls and balanced gameplay. Looks outstanding. Good nostalgia trip for older gamers.

The Bad Multiplayer modes a little ho-hum. Doesn't make use of the DS' full capabilities.

The Bottom Line Mario fans will be pleased to know that New Super Mario Bros is yet another winner from Nintendo. It effortlessly captures the charm and challenge of the earlier Mario games, and looks great to boot.
