History VideoGame / NewSuperMarioBros

* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:''Bowser'']], of all people. His only appearances ''period'' are [[spoiler: the first and last boss fights]]; otherwise, it's Bowser Jr. and a bunch of [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Big-Lipped Alligator Bosses]] running the show.

* SuspendSave: You can only truly save at castles or by using star coins, but you can make a quick save at any time on the map if you need to quit.

A {{platform game}} released in 2006 for the NintendoDS, deliberately modeled after the side-scrolling games in {{Nintendo}}'s ''SuperMarioBros.'' series, but featuring [[SpritePolygonMix polygonal renderings of some characters and objects to give it a 2.5D look]]. It's also the first original side-scroller in the series since 1992's ''VideoGame/SuperMarioLand2SixGoldenCoins'' [[hottip:*:or, arguably, 1995's VideoGame/YoshisIsland]].

* TheBusCameBack: The Koopalings and [[YoshisIsland Kamek]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', [[SuperMarioWorld Reznor]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.

** ShoutOut: Bowser's defeat is very similar to [[{{Metroid}} Crocomire's]].

* {{Homage}}: Several, to the original ''SuperMarioBros''. For instance, many sound effects from the original game are intact, such as coin collecting, enemy squishing, and block bumping. In addition, the Mega Mushroom PowerUp is colored just like the Super Mushroom from the first game.

* MythologyGag: The game starts with a homage to World 1-1 from the first ''SuperMarioBros'', and there is a Bowser battle that can be defeated simply by breaking the bridge and dropping Bowser in the lava (or down a pit ala ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''), replacing the axe with a button.
** Petey Piranha is sleeping before his boss fight and attacks when woken up. His very first appearance was ''SuperMarioSunshine'', and the second fight with him was triggered by waking him up.

!! This game provides examples of:

* AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever: The Mega Mushroom turns the Mario Bros. into giant walking plumbers of destruction. It's also a GameBreaker in that a Mega Mushroom can be stored for later use, including the FinalBoss battle, where Bowser can be done in with one GoombaStomp. In fact, this is the only way (outside of Shell Mario and the switch) to "kill" [[spoiler:Dry Bowser]].
* AvengingTheVillain: Bowser Jr.
* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:Bowser in World 8.]]
* BigBoosHaunt: The Ghost Houses.
* TheChase: Pursuing Bowser Jr.
* CreditsMontage: The top screen shows all the levels you've cleared (even the cannons that you used). In the cases of the towers and castles, it will show the level itself first before the boss, while the final castle shows the level, the boss, and the princess being rescued.
* DemBones: Dry Bones and [[spoiler:Dry Bowser]].
* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler:''Bowser'']], of all people. His only appearances ''period'' are [[spoiler: the first and last boss fights]]; otherwise, it's Bowser Jr. and a bunch of [[BigLippedAlligatorMoment Big-Lipped Alligator Bosses]] running the show.
** Aside from Petey Piranha.
* DistressedDamsel: Peach gets kidnapped. [[SarcasmMode Who saw that coming?]]
* DualBoss: The final boss is Bowser Jr. and [[spoiler:an enlarged Bowser]].
* FamilyUnfriendlyDeath: The [[http://bowserdeath.ytmnd.com/ apparent demise of Bowser in World 1]] mentioned above might be a little unnerving for some. [[spoiler:He doesn't stay dead, however, as he shows up in [[DemBones skeletal form]] in World 8, and Bowser Jr. revives him properly for the final battle.]]
** ShoutOut: Bowser's defeat is very similar to [[{{Metroid}} Crocomire's]].
* FragileSpeedster: The Mini-Mushroom makes you both a OneHitPointWonder and weaker with your GoombaStomp, but it greatly increases your mobility.
* GrimyWater: In the forest levels.
* GiantMook: Super Dry Bones, Super Thwomp, Mega Cheep-Cheep, Mega Deep-Cheep, Mega Unagi, and Super Piranha Plant are all recurring enemies, while Mega [[TheGoomba Goomba]] serves as [[KingMook a boss]], and you ride a giant Wiggler in World 7-3.
* GimmickLevel: Bowser's Castle in the DS game was this, unlike the one in the Wii game, which was filled with tough platforming.
* GroundPound
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Can happen to Mario in certain levels if the Mega Mushroom is not used with care. One level is made up of nothing but pipes and the majority of them can be broken with the Mega Mushroom. Break too many of them and you'll fall into the BottomlessPit you've created.
* {{Homage}}: Several, to the original ''SuperMarioBros''. For instance, many sound effects from the original game are intact, such as coin collecting, enemy squishing, and block bumping. In addition, the Mega Mushroom PowerUp is colored just like the Super Mushroom from the first game.
* InfiniteOneUps: In homage to the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros.'', the "Koopa Shell Bounce" trick was shamelessly recreated.
* InvincibilityPowerUp: The classic Super Star and the Mega Mushroom, which makes Mario grow to screen-filling heights.
* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: The point of the tower levels.
* LavaPit
* TheMerch: Take a look at how much Mario merchandise in recent history is branded with this game's title.

* MythologyGag: The game starts with a homage to World 1-1 from the first ''SuperMarioBros'', and there is a Bowser battle that can be defeated simply by breaking the bridge and dropping Bowser in the lava (or down a pit ala ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3''), replacing the axe with a button.
** Petey Piranha is sleeping before his boss fight and attacks when woken up. His very first appearance was ''SuperMarioSunshine'', and the second fight with him was triggered by waking him up.
* TheNewAdventures
* NoEnding: Unlike the Wii game, Mario and Peach are never shown actually leaving Bowser's castle.
* PapaWolf: [[spoiler: Should you defeat his son first in the final battle, [[BerserkButton Bowser will go apeshit]] and barrage the boss lair with a spiral of fireballs.]]
* {{Reconstruction}}: Of the original 2D ''Mario'' sidescrollers.
* SaveThePrincess: That's pretty much the whole plot, folks.
* SpaceFillingPath: That block train in the second World 8 tower goes an extremely long way around the room in a ping pong path fashion...
* SpringySpores: A lot of levels, beginning with 1-5.
* SuperNotDrowningSkills: Present, despite being absent in the 3D Marios that separated NSMB and its 2D predecessors and the one that separated the Wii version and the DS one.
* ATwinkleInTheSky: Using a cannon on the map.
* TheUnexpected: If you decide to go through every world in order, then besides Bowser and Bowser Jr., the bosses were all new. In World 5, the boss is, of all people, ''Petey Piranha''. To top it all off, he's a WarmUpBoss in almost every other game.
* TheVeryDefinitelyFinalDungeon: There's no mistaking it.

** World 1: GreenHillZone.
** World 2: ShiftingSandLand.
** World 3: PalmtreePanic.
** World 4: JungleJapes.
** World 5: SlippySlideyIceWorld.
** World 6: DeathMountain.
** World 7: BubblyClouds.
** World 8: LethalLavaLand.

* WalkOnWater: Tiny mushroom form.

From both a financial and a critical standpoint, the game was a hit, delighting players with its channeling of the series' roots. A sequel was released toward the end of 2009 for the {{Wii}}, simply titled ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosWii'', the first game to introduce [[CoOpMultiplayer cooperative multiplayer]] for up to four players. It also reintroduces the Koopalings, Bowser's original seven children, who have not been in a new Mario platformer since 1991's ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld''. And now, comming in August 2012, ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBros2'' for the ''Nintendo3DS'', which looks to be quite similar to ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros3'' with the presence of Raccoon Mario and the P-Meter. Another game in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' series, is the rumored ''New Super Mario Bros. Mii'' (now currently named ''New Super Mario Bros. U''), and it is the first announced {{Wii U}} game to have ''Miiverse'' support, with messages from other Miis (or players) about their experience with other levels.

The plot begins with a birthday party being held for Princess Peach. Bowser Jr. and the Koopalings sneak inside the castle by disguising themselves as a giant birthday cake. Once they secured the princess, they leap out of the castle into a nearby airship, and the Mario Bros., along with two Toads, give chase.

* TheChase: Pursuing Bowser Jr. in the DS game, and the Airship in the Wii one.
* DemBones: Both games feature Dry Bones, and the first game also has [[spoiler:Dry Bowser]].

* GrimyWater: in the forest levels
* GiantMook: In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Super Dry Bones, Super Thwomp, Mega Cheep-Cheep, Mega Deep-Cheep, Mega Unagi, and Super Piranha Plant are all recurring enemies, while Mega [[TheGoomba Goomba]] serves as [[KingMook a boss]], and you ride a giant Wiggler in World 7-3. As for ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', the only confirmed mooks of this variety are the Super Thwomp, a giant Urchin, a not-as-huge-but-still-pretty-big Wiggler, a giant Goomba that [[AsteroidsMonster splits into smaller Goombas when stomped]], and a giant Fuzzy (from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'').

* InfiniteOneUps: In homage to the original ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros.'', the "Koopa Shell Bounce" trick was shamelessly recreated. The "World 2-3 Infinite 1-Ups" hint movie in the Wii game even shows Mario doing it to gain 30 lives.

** The Wii sequel even went BeyondTheImpossible and had the final boss confrontation take place in the catacombs under the castle.
* VillainExitStageLeft: In both games, after defeating the tower boss, your character does the victory animation...then just stands there watching the boss get up and leap away. The Wii game additionally has a sequence after every castle, where the character(s) run(s) up to Bowser Jr., who has the airship behind him, complete with Princess Peach on deck. Bowser Jr. taunts you and boards the airship, and you could do nothing but watch it fly away...[[spoiler:except in Worlds 4 and 6, wherein Bowser Jr. gets left behind and your character(s) chase(s) him back into the airship.]]
