One question regarding ordering from lik-sang. Usually, when I order games, they are held up in customs and it takes a loong time before I receive the game. But, if I use for instance DHL shipping(1-3 days), will my order be sent directly to me, or can it still be held up in customs?

cheers

Best answer to that question is - don't use Lik-Sang. Use VG+.

Ordered mine on friday afternoon with dirt cheap shipping, it arrived today. Total cost? Â£27.

Oh, and it's great, obviously.

Well, I beat it and sad to say, but this is the first Mario game I've ever beaten, even though I've played all of the side-scrolling ones. It was a lot easier than any of the old games, but those water levels >.<!

First Mario game I ever beat was Super Mario Land on the GB. All without saves, too!

Or use Lik-Sang Europe, it seems to come from Germany. My 40 Euro's worth of SNES controller and GBAMP didn't wake the money grabbers at customs up.

Here's the Eurogamer review.

As usual total bollocks. Do they think they're the new Edge or something? What a load of complete arse. Can't anyone just review a fucking game anymore?

Just got this today, imported at only Â£20

Up to World 3, and am loving it so far. Reminds me most of Super Mario World - which is no bad thing. Plus, it's as easy as fuck.

I've just been playing new SMB...it's wicked. I love the way it toys with your expectations!

a few times so far it's had a bit of a level that's almost the same as something from an earlier mario bros game.. just as you think "there's about to be one of those things that looks like a brick, but then jumps on you", a thing that looks like *2* bricks jumps on you..

NOW you've gone and spoiled it!

I have my NSMB cart but no DS, just waiting for the release on the 23rd so all I can do is sit here green with envy ..............

So who all has got this yet then? I got it on Tuesday and it is wicked, had a good go last night and am quite a way in, playing only to advance.

Any ideas how to access the unlockable parts of maps? I know spending big coins gets you to the save points but that's it.
