You may like New Super Mario Brothers if you like - Any 2D platformer ever made. Seriously, if you like any Mario, Sonic, Klonoa or other 2D game you probably know and already love Mario.
Game review - Playing through New Super Mario Brothers Wii(review up shortly)made me want to go back and play through NSMB for the DS. Since I felt I did not have quite as much to say about this title as I have in past reviews I figured id do a quick hit review for it. New Super Mario brothers is the first Mario game since Super Mario World on the SNES to be a good old school 2D platformer, and that was a sad sad thing! 2D platformers have always been one of my favorite genres ever, so that the king/father of 2D platforming Mario had been missing all these years just seemed like a travesty!
NSMB is great and it does go a long way to make up for all the missing years, but sadly is over far too soon thanks to it being a fairly short game, and the fact that its pretty darn easy as far as platformers go! After so many years dying for a new 2D Mario game it was a let down to get something that I felt I could breeze through only dying two or three times. The game play may be as tight as ever and the new power ups are amazing, but outside the time you spend figuring out how to unlock the extra worlds or stages(which is annoying to have to do in the first place)the game is over in what feels like a blink.
Putting my complaints about the games length aside though, I must say that NSMB is an amazing game! As I mentioned above, the controls are tight, the power ups are a lot of fun and attempting to collect all of the games coins can add some replay and a small amount of length to the game. If you are a Mario fan you probably already own this game, hell even if your not a Mario fan you probably already own this game! But if there is some mythical person out there that who actually does not own this game and enjoys platformers I would have to give NSMB a whole hearted recommendation. Now if you do not mind I have a few more Goombas to squash before getting the full length review of NSMB Wii up!
