You run and you jump, bouncing on the enemies destroys them, and vacated Koopa turtle shells can be kicked at other baddies. The controls basically – and quite rightly – ignore the DS touchscreen. Just as in the original Super Mario Bros, you start each level with the chubby plumber at one end, the finish flagpole at the other, and a whole lot of platforms, coins and enemies in-between. And trust me, they are really fundamental.

New SMB feels less like the prodigal son returning, for the simple reason that Mario has nothing to apologise for. Sonic Rush always felt a bit like an apology, as if Sonic were saying sorry for Sonic Adventures 1 and 2 and Sonic Heroes, and that he too was glad to be back in 2D, where he belonged. Of course, there is one major difference. Well, essentially this is a similar effort to last year’s Sonic Rush: a classic, going back to the roots 2D platformer with enhanced visuals that take advantage of the DS’s 3D horsepower.

If you’ve been following Mario since the glory days of the NES, most of what you really need to know is in the title.
