I've already completed Super Princess Peach. 100% everything. Except one strange elusive item in Toads shop that still shows ????. Very weird. I have the star by my file though. So I know it's done.

Maybe I'm supposed to play some of the Toad games to get that item to be available.

I got my girlfriend a DS, a few weeks back when it launched here in the UK, and once NSMB, arrived i got that for her too, and she's playing to death, she's not a big gamer!..

But she likes NSMB, and i can't even get a game on it!

Is it me or do woman seem to like Handheld's more than the consoles?..

Yeah, you have to finish every level of the toad games, and do all 8 puzzles.

THEN you get the last item.

hmm... maybe there's something to that. I just bought NSMB too and the fiance is enjoying it as much as I am.... and she's NOT a gamer... after two or three hours she was 'stuck' on level 1-2

But the couple hours I've played of it so far I am really enjoying

Oh, well I did all the puzzles, but I cannot get the last 6 levels of "Toad Shot". I got all the other games except the damned Shot!!!

The funny thing bronty, when my GF is stuck, she'll try a few times to figure it out or if she can't get to a certain level, she'll just say help!.. and i jump in and save the day!

I have to start over now. =(

I have defeated bowser in Super Princess Peach. I'm now going back and playing the additional unlocked levels.

And it's these little rewards and unlockables that keep me coming back to SPP. You have to at least play and 'find' items here. I think the buying 'wallpapers' with the coins in NSMB is a bit lame.

I do like that there is a challenge code, and that you can play as Luigi. Minimal, but nice touches. I just hope there is more to this game that can be unlocked and will be released.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great game. But after seeing all the nice additions they did for the Super Mario Advance series on the GBA, it just seems a little lackluster here.

They should have done something like the Rockman/Megaman games where you get something special if you have one of the Super Mario Advance titles in the GBA slot.

I just had a 'save the day' moment yesterday She's now stuck on 1-3... and I can't get a game in edgewise!

This is a very good game I bought it on July 7, 2006 with a DS Lite. I got throught it in a couple of day and could not put it down. I definitely recomend buying this game if you like platformers and mario.
