I don't think this game is an atrocity but it definitely could've been a bit better. The New Super Mario Bros series has become cookie cutter at this point. Wii was able to add new mechanics and expand on the DS on a little, but this one just takes from the first two and puts coins everywhere. While it was fun coin hunting and it lead to some cool mechanics like the gold block head and the coin enemies, the platforming itself is generic and there's not much to this game that makes it stand out. It leans more closely to the DS one in its "styling" and has 6 worlds that are there for you. You need to unlock 2 of them, but the interest to get them isn't there because it's just an average game. There is not much else for me to say since I reviewed DS and Wii, as this is just a generic version of those first two games. I really enjoyed the first two, but here the formula gets old with it doing nothing remotely interesting. It's entertaining enough, but that's really it.
