Happy 20th anniversary to New Super Mario Bros.!

As you all know, it's been exactly two decades (20 years) since the reboot of the Super Mario Bros. series started. Might as well make a dedicated thread for it to wish it a happy anniversary!

Actually, the original Super Mario Bros. was 26 years old when New Super Mario Bros. came out, not 20

Wait yeah you're right. They were both 20 years old but was Super Mario Bros. was 20 years and 8 months old though. But practically the same yeah

I've always really liked New Super Mario Bros., it's the first new 2D Mario platformer in eons and I remember being hyped seeing pre-release screenshots with two player Co-op all the way back in the day.

Likely this got scrapped because the DS couldn't handle it, but they retooled it into the side Mario vs Luigi mode, which I really adored. Sis and I would spend hours on the Ice Stage just messing around in it.

I also love the climbing on the ledge parts of the mountain world, I remember my sister and I would joke that it's like Prince of Persia lol.

Also, I'll love the Blue Shell powerup forever.

I used to play it constantly to the point where mom had to take it away for the week. It was that good.
