About New Super Mario Bros.
New Super Mario Bros. is a side-scrolling 2.5D action-adventure platformer game for the Nintendo DS, starring Mario and Luigi. The game features a solo story mode with Mario or Luigi, a two-player wireless game Mario Vs. Luigi, as well as a minigame mode for up to four players. The gameplay of New Super Mario Bros. is very much like that of the classic 2D platformers, mostly Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3, and substantially builds upon them to create gameplay both classic and contemporary. As the game is on DS, the touch screen allows players to store an additional power-up and view the distance still to go in a level.

The level design holds up, sure, but half these threads just circle back to the same three rivals anyway.
TurboByte
surcoté clairement, le classement lui fait trop de cadeaux

Oh look, another thread proving this belongs somewhere between Portal and Crash. Groundbreaking stuff, truly.
PixelKid
On avait cette DS ouverte à deux, jamais vraiment lassés, alors ce classement me laisse perplexe.

Same debates, same votes, same result every time we do this.

I get the fatigue with these debates, but I'd still take this over Crash any day when I want something clean.
Mckenna_66
It plays it safe from start to finish, and that's fine, but calling it a classic feels like a stretch to me.

tu l'mettrais où entre ça et Mario 64 franchement ?
Loot_Sanchez
Il joue la sécurité, exactement, et c'est bien pour ça qu'il perd face à Mario 64.

yo también lo jugaba poco a poco, nunca de corrido, y esa seguridad de la que hablan arriba se sentía bien así, sin prisa

We keep having the exact same argument about where this belongs and nobody ever budges an inch.
