Princess Peach™ has been kidnapped by Bowser Jr.™! Run, jump, and stomp
your way across eight worlds as you smash through your foes and save the
day! Take a break from the adventure to play minigames in four
fun-filled categories!

When lightning suddenly strikes Peach's castle, Mario goes to
investigate the disturbance. But Bowser Jr. seizes the opportunity to
sneak up from behind and grab ahold of Peach! It's up to Mario to save
the day! Run, jump, and stomp your way through raging volcanoes,
tropical islands, snowcapped peaks, and unimaginable challenges. Grab a
Mega Mushroom and grow to incredible proportions, or smash through your
foes in a blue Koopa shell. Collect Star Coins to unlock helpful items,
backgrounds, and even new paths on the map.

New Super Mario Bros. is a 2006 platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It was first released in May 2006 in North America and Japan, in Europe and Australia in June 2006, in South Korea in March 2007, and in China in July 2009. It is the first installment in the New Super Mario Bros. subseries of the Super Mario series and the first side-scrolling Super Mario game since Yoshi's Island (1995). It follows Mario as he fights his way through Bowser's henchmen to rescue Princess Peach. Mario has access to an upgraded moveset and several old and new power-ups that help him complete his quest, including the Super Mushroom, the Fire Flower, and the Super Star, each giving him unique abilities. While traveling through eight worlds with more than 80 levels, Mario has to defeat Bowser Jr. and Bowser before saving Princess Peach.
