Seriously, who in their right mind even gives canon in Mario games a first thought?

NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. SELLS 480,000 COPIES ON THE FIRST DAY OF RELEASE


480,000 first day sales = #1 selling 'release day' DS game yet & #1 best selling 1st week Mario game to date.

The preorders have been amassing for a while now.. more than even Animal Crossing..

[Artimus]

I cannot wait to see system sales...

[wandering]

So, I've finished my first play-through. I eat my words, the game's awesome. Sort of the videogame equivalant of Quentin Tarantino film, actually - it's ridiculously dirivative, and doesn't have the magic of truly original work...but it's so cool and fun you don't really care.

Anyway. Now I'm combing the game for it's precious secrets. (I've found several alternate exists - and they've all been shortcuts. Ugg, I've beaten the game already, thanks.)

Oh, this thing definitely needs a sequel. It introduces a bunch of interesting ideas, and then never really explores them that much. It dabbles with screen-spanning huge polygonal stuff (see: mega mario, and, um...that one eel, I guess), but never really goes anywhere with it. Wall-jumping isn't required to progress until you hit the last 2 worlds. Etc.

Maybe we should just regard 2D Mario and 3D Mario as seperate series.

Maybe we should just regard each Mario game as a seperate game.

Also, DKJB is this gens Yoshis Island. There's also Super Princess Peach.

I have to finish this quick. I've done all the worlds, just have like 10 levels to get the coins on! I'm selling my DS this week before the Lite comes out and the value drops 10-fold. Then I can get a Lite!

Does anyone know what the stars, next to the game file, are for or what they represent? I had 1 but yesterday as I was playing to get all coins (only 2 worlds left) and I died and then I decided to go back from my previous save state and I noticed I had 2 stars next to my game file.

You get one star for beating the game.  You get a second star for beating every level.  You get a third star for collecting and then spending every coin.

[Caliban]

Ooooooooooo, great, thanks vudu.

I believe you also have to unlock every secret route, or at least that's what I remember having to do...

You get a 4th by maxing out the score. I hope.
