FAVORITE COMPUTER GAME!
New Super Mario Bros is the current working title for a new
side-scrolling video game developed by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It was
shown off during the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo, and a North American

however, came out in May of 2004.
Current information
The plotline reveals that Bowser, along with Bowser Jr., has kidnapped Princess
Peach on Valentine's Day leaving it up to Mario to retrieve her once again.
Mario, Luigi and the enemy characters exist as 3D models, while the backgrounds
have fixed 2D sprites.
Information on two new power-ups have been divulged as of this date: 'The
BlueShell item allows the player the capability of riding on its namesake, and
the Super Mushroom allows Mario to grow to enormous proportions for a limited
amount of time.
Most levels take place on the top screen, but the underground pipe levels are on
the bottom screen.
Mario and Luigi can use the Fire Flower, which will transform them into Fire
Mario or Fire Luigi.
The game supports two players, so one person can take control of Luigi, and both
players can work together, or race to the finish.
When Mario and Luigi come across items such as mushrooms and fire flowers more
than once they can store them (up to three items at once) down the bottom of the
touch screen. Players can then touch these items on the touch screen and they
will drop down to Mario/Luigi
Moves from Super Mario 64 like the wall jump and ground pound can be done by
Luigi and Mario.
Mario and Luigi can grab loose koopa shells and put them on to grant different
powers.
The flagpole at the end of each stage in the original Super Mario Bros. game
returns to mark the end of the stages. The Castles however have yet to be seen.
