Nintendo DSPlatformer2017
Newer Super Mario Bros. DS is an unofficial side-scrolling platform game created by the Newer Team for Nintendo DS. It expands on the structure and mechanics of New Super Mario Bros. with new stages, enemies, environments, and challenges rather than presenting an officially licensed Nintendo release. The core premise follows Mario through a traditional rescue adventure across themed worlds. Players run, jump, stomp enemies, collect coins, use power-ups, and search stages for secrets. Its reception is primarily associated with the fan-made Mario hacking community, where it has attracted attention for extending a familiar DS platforming framework with original level design.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
