On ruining one of the best games ever.

I got my DS today, so i managed to play Mario DS which i have had for over 2 weeks now! I love it. I really don't have any problems with the controls either, i got used to them right away. However - I'm on that snow level where you have to slide down that, well, the slide - and its almost impossible. I never could do it with the n64 controller, never mind the touch screen! But all in all - I'm well impressed.

Erm... they attach onto the DS. And if you are enough of a spasticated child to break your stylus, there's a spare one anyway.

Those crazy kids at Nintendo, eh?

I just wonder how long these bits will last, or how long before you cant remember where you last put it. Not everyone looks after stuff like this.

Thumbstrap really does. It's amazingly easy to use after about an hour of getting used to it, but hey it's a completely new method of control so you're not going to get completely used to it straightaway.

It's still annoying with the thumb strap for me.
It would be a lot better if the circle-thinger that shows when you'll start running stayed in one fixed place.

As it is, you slowly move towards the top of the screen as you run along - which would be alright if the circle stopped at the top, so you'd still be running, but it dissapears out the top.

If that made any sense.

Had a go on multiplayer, not quite the integral part of the game I thought it was going to be. It's a bit of fun, but very, very limited.
