It's new, it's super, it's New Super Mario Bros. IC. The game is for the Nintendo IC. It's created by Arend's brother. Bowser and his 8 children kidnapped Princess Peach (surprisingly) and the Mario Bros. are going to rescue her.

Game Modes

  • Adventure - Save Princess Peach from the evil Koopa King Bowser and his eight children.
    • Normal Mode - Travel around world maps, visit toad houses, find secret exits and more.
    • Challenge Mode (unlockable) - A more challenging mode. It got different world maps with less Toad Houses and more Enemy Courses. When platforming, levels will be more tricky because of smaller platforms, more enemies and relocated Star Coins. Sometimes even secrect exits will take you to different places than in Normal Mode.
    • Free Mode - Just play courses without worrying about your saved game data.
  • Battle - The brothers will battle each other to show who is the real Superstar. This mode is multiplayer only.
    • Coin Battle - The brothers will battle for the most Coins on special courses.
    • Star Battle - The brothers will battle for the most Grand Stars on special courses.

PowerUpSystemNewMarioIC


A Red colored form indicates that it is a very common Power-Up and can be found in almost every course
A Yellow colored form indicates that it is a common Power-Up and can be found in many courses
A Blue colored form indicates that it is a uncommon Power-Up and can be found in many courses, but often on hidden locations
A Purple colored form indicates that it is a rare Power-Up and can only be obtained in secret areas or other special ways


Standard Forms

The Mario Bros. are small and a bit weak and if the Mario Bros. get hit by an enemy, the player will lose a live. Powers that belong in this category are:

  • Small Mario - The player will start the game in this form. This is the only form that can't be accessed by a Power-Up. Nothing Special
  • Mini Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch a Mini Mushroom. In this form, the Mario Bros. are light and small enough to fit in the smallest pipes, but also very weak.

Super Forms

The Mario Bros. are big and strong, but if the Mario Bros. get hit by an enemy, the Mario Bros. will turn back in Small Mario. Powers that belong in this category are:

  • Super Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch a Super Mushroom. Nothing special.

Powerful Forms

The Mario Bros. are big, strong and have one special ability, but if the Mario Bros. get hit by an enemy, the Mario Bros. will turn back in Super Mario. Powers that belong in this category are:

  • Fire Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch a Fire Flower. In this form, the Mario Bros. can throw fireballs.
  • Ice Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch an Ice Flower. In this form, the Mario Bros. can throw iceballs.
  • Propeller Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch a Propeller Mushroom. In this form, the Mario Bros. can fly staight up in the sky.
  • Light Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch a Light Mushroom. In this form, the Mario Bros. can see clearly in dark areas and hidden blocks and areas will be highlighted.
  • Shell Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch an Koopa Shell. In this form, the Mario Bros. can use their Shells. Preform a Shell Dash to break Brick Blocks from the side and defeat enemies.

Power-Suit Forms

The Mario Bros. are big, strong and have multiple extra abilities, but if the Mario Bros. get hit by an enemy, the Mario Bros. will turn back in Super Mario. On top of that, these Power-Up are rare. Powers that belong in this category are:

  • Penguin Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch an Penguin Suit. In this the Mario Bros. can throw iceballs, slide on their belly (to break Brick Blocks from the side) and swim a lot easier under water. The Bros. also won't slip on ice and move a bit slower.
  • Phoenix Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch an Phoenix Suit. The Mario Bros. can shoot fireballs and flap their wings so they can jump higher and slowly go back to the ground. It also let them run faster.

Temporary Forms

These powerful forms last only for a short time sadly.

  • Invincible Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch a Starman. The Mario Bros. will defeat any enemy when they touch one.
  • Mega Mario - The Mario Bros. will turn in this form if they touch a Mega Mushroom. The Mario Bros. will break everything in their sight.

Trivia

  • Fire Mario (and Fire Luigi) got a different look in this game (based on its appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3) to fit with Ice Mario's and the Fire Toads colors.
  • To let the two Toads look a bit more different from each other, the blue Toad now has glasses like in Super Mario Galaxy. He didn't have glasses in earlier editions of the game though.
