(DS) New Super Mario Bros.

Mario returned with the original series released among Famicom and Super Famicom with a brand new game released in 2006 by Nintendo.
The core of the game is always the same, a side scrolling platform game where Mario has to reach the end of the stage marked with a black flag.
Through the levels different power-ups can be found and also stored, as seen in the previous episode, Super Mario World (which is named Super Mario Bros 4: Super Mario World in Japan). Besides the classic power-ups, 3 new ones were introduced in this episode : the Blue Koopa Shell and the Mega and Mini Mushrooms.
The reviews were positive and in term of sales it was an amazing success : in Japan it has been the 2nd top seller game for 15 years only behind the original Super Mario Bros. for Famicom (in 2021 both were overtaken by Animal Crossing Switch).
