New Super Mario Bros. is a side-scrolling 2.5D platformer developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development and released in 2006 for the Nintendo DS. Players control Mario or Luigi through a single-player story mode, navigating levels in a style closely informed by classic entries in the series, particularly Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3, while incorporating updated mechanics that give the gameplay a contemporary feel. The DS touch screen serves a functional role, letting players store an extra power-up and track remaining distance within a level. Beyond the main campaign, the game includes a two-player wireless Mario vs. Luigi mode and a minigame mode supporting up to four players. The combination of familiar side-scrolling structure with new multiplayer options and hardware-specific features distinguishes it from its predecessors in the franchise.
Emergency News Flash! Princess Peach has been kidnapped! While enjoying a picnic with Mario, the beloved ruler of the Mushroom Kingdom was whisked away by an unknown assailant. How could this happen with Mario around? According to Mario, the walk was going swimmingly when Mario and the princess spotted smoke billowing out of Peach’s Castle. The mustachioed marvel immediately jumped into action and sped off toward the fire. The moment he left her side, the princess vanished! Who’s behind Princess Peach’s disappearance? Who’s behind the attack on Peach’s Castle? Are the two incidents related? Didn’t Bowser Jr. once think Princess Peach might be his mother? Looks like Mario’s going to need all the Mega Mushrooms he can find to get to the bottom of this mess.
