Big fan since 1987 of all episodes of Mario, I looked fun but also the fear of disappointment this new Mario.
Finally this Mario proved beyond my expectations, it is quite successful!
In the purest tradition of previous Mario (especially Mario 1, 3 and world), this new adventure offers many levels (8 worlds, 10 levels per world).
Secret passages very well designed and 3 stars per level increased to recover the life that is consistent.
The difficulty is dosed (contrary to what is sometimes said, it is in the standard of the other Mario, no anxiety!)
Graphically it is very good: it is the best Mario 2D.
The design of the levels is excellent, finding secret passages is pure pleasure, and we find the genius of Nintendo that has seduced us all.
The handling is impeccable: it is necessary to say ... it's a Mario!
The game is not just a tribute or a "summary" of the old Mario: it's a whole new adventure in which we recover the previous Mario paw, but not a pale copy.
There are innovations on many levels and this game is actually a result of the Mario series.
I recommend very strongly to any Nintendo DS owner to get this little wonder!
