Imagine Mario 3 with better graphics, wall jumping and ground pounding...
The only drawbacks were that there weren't as many items (only 4 instead of.... well a lot more than 4 in Mario 3), and the levels weren't quite as good.

Still, it was really hard not to vote for Mario Teaches Typing
I learned how to type 20wpm AND all about Abraham Lincoln
Heh, I need to get a DS, I keep hearing wonderous things about NSMB... I wish they had put a new came on the GBA instead of just porting classic ones... not that it wasn't cool to have slightly upgraded classic Mario games, but I think the GBA could basically handle a game the style of NSMB, just wouldn't have the 3Dish look, but since its a sidescroller it wouldn't really matter, anyway... $\:D/$

The NSMB uses touch screen so there's no way they could release it to on the GBA.

Well I just mean a new Mario game in general... I mean the basic gameplay I don't think used the touchscreen... but I could be wrong...

In NSMB, the touch screen showed a map or progress bar of the level (leaving the gameplay screen clear of corner icons and such) and had an icon in the corner for a selectable item. You touched the screen to use a Mushroom or Flower or something...

Which could also have been done using button methods.

Yeah I thought that was all it amounted to... I could hit the "R" button on the GBA for the same result.

But alas I think the GBA is basically dead except for random stupid things being churned out by third parties.
