DS #0434: New Super Mario Bros. (USA)

[Ovitz]

That's depressing. What's the best thing to buy these days if I were looking to replace that useless thing?"

Finally!! Played till first mini boss (little Bowser) and it feels so good

Works on my M3 Mini with Trim on (trimmed down to 20MB

) and Normal mode.

OK, SCSD patched with 2.52 works fine.

Initial thoughts:
+ Good enough visuals
+ Nice combo of SMB1 and SMB3 gameplay
+ Ability to go backwards among completed worlds/levels
+ 3 giant coins per level add unlockables and extra challenges
+/- OK sound
- Poor default controls (can be changed)
- Control of Mario feels clunky/slow - it's missing the sharp turns and jumps of previous Mario games
- The first water world is missing the octopuses (octopi?) and they have been replaced with awkward looking sharks

Should be good enough overall. Cheers!

I'm wondering why people have a thing against trimming roms..

All the roms I've trimmed work.. If it doesn't (hasn't happened yet) then I won't trim it..

Dont know if this has been posted or not.
So i'll post it anyway, might help someone.

When using a EZ4 transfer the game using the client as normal.
What you will then see is the file is just named .nds, nothing more.
And ofcourse wont work.

Rename it to NWSMB.nds and tada, it'll work perfectly.

About the game, it's ok. Not the same quickyness as the old mario games though. And the minigames are left out this release i think :S

Suprcard SD. Restart, Saver, Fast Load, Trim. Game works great with all of 'em.

Game's pretty easy though. I got 4 1-ups within 5 seconds. =(

More of the same of some of the more popular and enjoyable games of all time? Hardly blah.

I'm using EZ4 to create the .nds to my C: folder.Then i rename it to NWSMB.nds.I transfer it my EZ3 with 2.10;NDS OS 1.04.I get double white screens.Am i suppose to put it on the 256mb side?I would try,but i dont want to erase my game/save.I dont know how to back up the save from the 256mb side.

It didn't work for me.

I used EZ4 Client to transfer the rom and it appeared on the EZ4 as "NEW MARIO.nds". I renamed it to NSMB.nds and loaded up the EZ4; chose NSMB.nds and got two white screens.

For the record, I'm using the 4/28 version of the client and firmware. I'm not going back to the 4/30 version, as it corrupts most saves and a lot of roms patched with that version of the client don't load (get two black screens). I moved back to the 4/28 and everything I've tried is 100%, except for NSMB.

If NSMB requires the 4/30 firmware/client to work, then I'll just play it on my SuperCard until the EZ4 guys put out a new update that doesn't break most of my roms and saves.

AM I GLAD I ONLY HAD 2 HOURS SCHOOL 2DAY!!!

 

[Sevael]

Found a secret for the game!

Press L+R+A when selecting a single-player file to play as Luigi. Plays exactly the same as Mario.

This is revealed when completing the game (if you pay attention), but you do not have to have a cleared game file to do it. I tried it on a different flash cart with no previous save and it still works.

(stupid question, pls delete)

Great release! (still a buy).

The one thing that I have issue with (just like I saw in the videos) is that Mario is like walking on ice constantly. He doesn't stop walking the second you stop moving him. Kinda bothers me, but it still rocks.

Also, good move letting us select which buttons we want to dash/jump with. Hate jumping with A and dashing with B..

 

[Remphor]

Wootle!

Sadly I start my first day of work today
