Gamespot's video review called it sexist and gave it a 7.2.  Personally, I'm not seeing it if for no other reason than the fact that every enemy in the game is just as emotional as Peach is, except they can't control it.  And I don't care what anyone says, this ain't anywhere close to as screwed up as "Hot Coffee"  or the Guy Game.

I hope the score is reflective on the low difficultly which every reviewer seems to complain about and not the sexist content.  Anyone who thinks this game is sexist should look at, I don't know, every game with large breasted attractive female characters wearing very little clothing.

Tecmo games where they've got a specific setting that allows you to change how bouncy the breasts are.

Gamespot are a bunch of idiots anyhow, but it's pretty amazing that all those games where Peach was the generic damsel in distress were fine, but now that she's actually kicking ass, she's not kicking ass in the officially sanctioned way.

What was Nintendo supposed to do, make Peach an Angelina Jolie ripoff like every American action game character? She's a princess and she rules over a kingdom full of mushrooms, she's going to  be at least a little girlish.

SPP is my new favorite DS game. It's the first platformer I've really enjoyed since SM64. As for Gamespot, they suck just like EGM, IGN, and the whole rest of em'

Hah, it's funny that I made this thread like 2 years ago and didn't like the idea of the game...

Anyway, I just recently picked this up, and I think it's a much better game than New Super Mario Bros.  It is quite sexist though.  I like to kid my fiance about it...

"See they made a game where Peach saves Mario instead!  Isn't that great?  Girl power!  Oh, by the way, her special ability is that she's MOODY!  Get it?  Because that's what girls are!"

Haha, oh man.  But seriously, if any of you haven't played this game.  Go pick it up.

Yeah it was good.  I disagree on the comparison to New Super Mario Bros because I'm not into explorative 2D platformers, (I just want straight action) but I can see where someone would think that.  It arguably has more depth.
That's my opinion, not yours.

I really enjoy this game as well, but there is no way I can say it is better than NSMB. Both are great though and are 2 excellent reasons to own a DS.

It's not even in the same league as NSMB.. but it's still a pretty good game.

I still can't believe so many people love new super mario brothers so much.  If you compare that game to what was done in Mario World... damn, it's so far behind.

New Super Mario Bros. was meant to be a throwback to a simpler Mario game, and to my knowledge it worked. I've seen people that haven't played a Mario game in years pick up NSMB and enjoy it like crazy. Even though it was titled "New", this is really a throwback to simpler times.

This wasn't created to become the Mario 64 of the DS (ie, a grand, epic, platforming adventure). I can understand being upset with the game when seen through the eyes of a hardcore gamer, but to everyone else, the game is a fun, pick up and play experience.

I may be derailing the topic here, but the only new power-up in the game was a suicidal shell that didn't really do anything.  The growing and shrinking was a pointless effort to do something "cool" that really didn't add to the game at all.

The number of power-ups in super princess peach is much nicer.  Purchasing them is some what strange, but it does give more meaning to coins.

That's just about the highest bar you can set for the game.. If you look at it on its own merit, the game is still brilliant. The pure platforming is exceptional, and much better than SPPs.

Even as a throwback I think it's weak.  The original SMB was better than NSMB.

New Super Mario Bros is the first Mario platformer made for nostalgia which is why it isn't as good as the other Mario sidescrollers.  All the previous sidescrollers, made during the 2D era, where designed to be progressive and introduce new concepts into the Mario universe.  Personally I would have preferred something that wasn't a throwback but New Super Mario Bros is still really good, mostly because the original Mario formula is so strong.  I do however hope that nostalgic throwbacks aren't the future of Nintendo sequels.  The magic is not from the content but the uniqueness of the content so recycling old ideas isn't going to make as good of games.  Yoshi isn't what makes Super Mario World awesome.  It was the fact that Yoshi was new and different that blew everyone away back in 1991.

I tried swimming with the shell.  I thought it might give me a benefit of some sort.  I was wrong.
