History YMMV / NewSuperMarioBros

* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Every game in the series invoked this reaction from people due to it being a 2D platformer in 3D, and it gets worse with every new installment.

** It's not that it's a 2D platformer, it's that it's got a fairly homogenised 3D art style and gameplay mechanics that make the game easier to beat rather than evolving the game. That was the first one. Then the fact that every subsequent installment has been a cut and paste makes it possibly the most hated Mario sub-series ever.

!!The four games provides examples of:

!! The DS game provides examples of:
* AngstWhatAngst: Mario (or Luigi) certainly doesn't have any qualms seeing Bowser get StrippedToTheBone after the first boss battle; they just say their end-of-boss phrase cheerfully and move on.
* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrAa-_SlRCY The Castle theme]].
** The [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GK41pLUuP0 overworld]] theme is pretty catchy, too.
** The Platforms-a-Plenty theme from ''VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine'' returns slightly arranged as the music for the Trampoline Time minigame.
* FridgeLogic: Why does Bowser Jr keep screwing time waiting for Mario to beat each world boss to drag Peach to the next world when he could just run all the way to the last castle without wasting time?
** Then again, he's just a kid.
* ItsEasySoItSucks: A lot of people feel this way. [[http://gonintendo.com/viewstory.php?id=105540 Even Miyamoto has stated that he regrets making it too easy.]]
* PowerupLetdown: The Mega Mushroom looks awesome, but if you break a pipe, you can't go down it, ruining your chances of potentially finding a Star Coin. Also, the Blue Shell handles awkwardly with its sliding mechanic, though it does improve your swimming. The Mini Mushroom, meanwhile, lets you jump higher and with (much) floatier physics, as well as access certain areas otherwise inaccessible, with the drawback that it has zero hit points; one hit from anything will kill you. When you're going for all the Star Coins and have to use it in the later levels where things get hectic...all those lives you accumulated in the early levels are going to come in handy.
* ThatOneLevel: 8-6. Vertical level with lava rising constantly. And the midway point appears early in the level. You... will... ''die''... ''so''... ''many''... ''times''...
** 8-Tower 2. This one has you riding a snake block with almost all the way. But there are so many obstacles in the way. But you have to ride the snake block... or else you will DIE!

* EvenBetterSequel: ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'' to ''New Super Mario Bros.'', and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' is on its way to be this to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Inevitable when announcing the first brand new 2D Mario platformer since 1992.

** And why did the creators have two levels inaccessible in the main storyline? How do we get to them?
** Then again he's just a kid.
** They ARE accessible, [[GuideDangIt you just have to beat the previous world's boss while mini.]]

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: it was the first 2D Mario platformer in 14 years. It was kind of a given that people were gonna be excited about it. %% No need to cut this example during the ATFR re-tooling. It's the one rejoice-inducing aspect of the game, so please leave it as it is.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: it was the first 2D Mario platformer in 14 years. It was kind of a given that people were gonna be excited about it.
** The sequel brings back the Racoon Suit, and ''you can actually fly again!''

!!Both games provides examples of:

** And why did the creators have two levels inaccessible in the main storyline? How do we get to them?
** Then again he's just a kid.
** They ARE accessible, [[GuideDangIt you just have to beat the previous world's boss while mini]]
* ItsTheSameNowItSucks: Both games invoked this reaction from people due to it being a 2D platformer, but ''NSMBW'' had this worse.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: The Castle theme.
** The overworld theme is pretty catchy, too.

*** Well, you have to defeat bosses 2 and 5 without dying, that's how.
