Every since the original Nintendo came out, Super Mario Brothers has been a favorite game for many people. The sequels were just a popular, just as much time wasters, and just as much fun.

When Nintendo released their new, better system (which is what, two or three generations old now), they knew they'd have to release these modern classics to convince people to upgrade. But they were smart about it. Instead of releasing them for the Super Nintendo as separate games, making people balk, they took advantage of the better format and released them all on one cartridge, with better graphics to boot. To sweeten the deal, they included "The Lost Levels," a new, harder version of the original Super Mario Bros. not previously available in the states. And they included the ability to save your game or continue on that level when you die, something I greatly missed in the originals.

Ok, I confess, I've never actually beaten any of these games in spite of the combined years I've had them for the original and Super Nintendo's. But I have had loads of fun over the years playing these games. And with four great games on one cartridge, how can you possibly go wrong?

Super Mario All-Stars is a great update of the regular Nintendo classics that took the world by storm. It has Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, and they have a game that is the same as Super Mario Bros. 1 except that it's a lot harder, The Lost Levels. That's a total of four classic Mario Bros. games all in one cartridge. Super Mario All-Stars updated the graphics of all the games to Super Nintendo quality, which is a lot better than the originals. The games are just as fun as they've always been, the sound is a little bit better, and the control isn't perfect, but it's good enough so that it's not frustrating. All the games have 4 slots that will save your games, whether it's 1 player or 2 player, and you can erase them or play them as you please.

Pretty much, if you liked playing the classic Mario Bros. games for the regular Nintendo, you'll definitely like Super Mario All-Stars. I recommend anybody who has a Super Nintendo to get this game.

I used to love this game when I was a little kid! It's cool because it is actually 4 games on one cartridge! Super Mario Bros., Mario Bros. 2, Mario Bros. 3, and Lost Levels. The best mario is still Super Marioworld though(sold on a separate cartridge.) There isn't much else to say, except these were the good mario games before they came out with the less-than-exceptional N64 ones.

Super Mario All-Stars can be summed up simply as this: A great revamping effort done by Nintendo that combines the first three Super Mario games as well as a new game, titled The Lost Levels, that had previously only been released in Japan. Super Mario All-Stars is a great addition to an SNES collection, considering you were a fan of the Super Mario series the first time around. The save feature comes in handy at times, giving you four slots per game in which to save your progress. A great play for a real Super Mario fan.

If you don't already own this game then you should hurry up andfind it somewhere because it's too good a game to miss.I should know.Let me tell you a bit about this game.

The game consists of four levels on a blue background which you shouldn't really pay attention to.You should pay attention to the names of them so you can go to school and brag about how far you've gotten in the cool Mario game when you havn't done anything at all.Anyway the names are:Mario Bros.1,Mario Bros.2,Mario Bros. 3 and the lost levels.It's really highly advanced isn't it?Now onto Mario Bros.1!

No.1 lets you control Mario.You ran along a nice laid path hopping on enemies and leaping over gaps.You can get your Mushrooms to make Mario bigger and flowers to let him shoot fire.With one baby tiny detail.If you get a game over you restart at level 1-1.And if you were at level oh say 3-1 or 4-1 then start howling.But being such good players you shouldn't really get a game over.Is it like the old game?I don't know.

Mario 2 is somewhat differant than 1.See you can controle Mario.Then theres Luigi Marios green dressed brother.Princess the blonde girl in a pink dress.And toad a little guy in a BIG hat.Chose one of these brave characters and make them collect cherries.Throw turtle shells,Vegies and enemies at your enemys.Also there are door creating potions and 'shrooms' that make you bigger.Oh and a POW that knocks every enemy of the screen.It's all high-tech stuff.

Mario 3 is very high-tech.Control Mario through a place where you can move from one level to another.Or one castle to another.Or one Mushroom house with a hidden object inside to another.Plus theres some COOL new stuff to collect.Feathers and P-feathers make him fly,mushrooms make him bigger,stars make him invisible for a while,flowers make him shoot,boxes play a lullubye,frogs make him hop,clouds let him skip levels and whistels let hi...oops thats Highly Classifyed Information.
All I can say is that if you use them you can travel.Frequent Flier Miles if you find lots.

Now the Lost Levels are a bit tricky.Also they've never been on any other game before and they won't be in the future.One game only!Any way it's sortof like 1 only when you get a game over you don't start at level 1 again.A good thing too because it took me ages to complete the last stage which is level 4-D!The castels from number 4-8 are a bit differant but I like the lightning!

This was one of the first games I got and I loved it alot.I highly recomend it.MARIO POWER!

This game is the best game in my Nes series next to Donkey Kong(1994).You can play Super Mario Bros.(#1),Super Mario Bros.2,Super Mario Bros.3,and The Lost Levels(#4).This game is better than the Nintendo editions since they have better graphics and you can save games!

I have the version of this that includes Super Mario World, but I won't review it here. Anyway, onto the review.......

Super Mario Bros: This game didn't start Mario's career, but it sure did jump start it. This game has 32 levels, with 8 chapters, 4 stages each. It's the NES SMB you remember, but with updated graphics and audio that are still the reminiscent to the NES version, but are a lot better. This game needed the 16-bit update more than any other title on this cartridge.
Overall Score: 10

Super Mario Bros.-The Lost Levels: The 1986 Japanese sequel to Super Mario Bros, this game has 32 new levels, Luigi as a playable character, and a difficulty level that only the most the hardcore old-school Mario fans can beat (I have beaten every game on this cartridge except this one!). The graphical and audio improvements are the same as what the original got. Difficult, but if you claim to be a Mario dominator, give this one a shot.
Overall Score: 9.5

Super Mario Bros. 2: This is an odd one. This game is actually a port of a Japanese game called "Doki Doki Panic", but with a Mario flair. You get to play as either Mario, Luigi, Toad, or Princess Toadstool (or Peach, or whatever), and you are trapped in a dream land, trying to stop this Wart guy and his minions, or something like that. This game doesn't really feel like the Mario that you're used to, and the ending is rather disappointing, but this is still a fine entry in the Mario series. And, of course, this game needed an upgrade as well, with, once again, the graphical and audio improvements keeping the game's spirit alive while being superior to the NES game.
Overall Score: 9.5

Super Mario Bros. 3: My favorite NES game, Super Mario Bros. 3 is made even better in this Super NES remake. I simply don't know why I like this entry more than the other NES Mario games. More gameplay options, maybe? More levels? It's the best game in the All-Stars half of this cartridge, that's for sure. And, of course, the improvements are true to the original, while keeping the game fresh and unique.
Overall Score: 10

ottom Line: Grab this now, and if you don't have Super Mario World, there's a version of this that includes it. There's a lot of classic memories and years of replay value contained on this cartridge. Highly recommended.

I recently brought this game after I saw it on sale at
Blockbuster. It's great. I've had my Super Nintendo since I
was 7 (I'm 12 now) so it's pretty old,but it's still fun to
play,and it was nice to have a new game after so long (the last
new game I got was I think,The Lion King back in 2001 as a Christmas present)

The game is a collection of old NES Mario games with redone
SNES-era grapics,which are:

Super Mario Bros. (1985)--I had this game on my old NES,but
sadly the stupid thing is busted (I think). Plus,to add insult
to injury,I lost the cartrige,so I was glad this one was on
here.

Super Mario Bros.The Lost Levels (Not released in the USA)--This
game is like the first but harder.

Super Mario Bros.2 (1988)--This game is my friend's fave on this
set,but I think it's too hard.

Super Mario Bros.3 (1990)--OMIGOSH I LOOOVE THIS ONE This one
is the best one on the set.I love to be the Racoon Mario!

The verison of this game that I got has, for some reason no one
bothers to explain,Super Mario World included on it. This, for
me at least,was pointless (I already owned that game).

Give this one a try.You will love it.

Super Mario All-Stars has 4 great NES Mario games, along with enhanced graphics, sound, music, and an added save feature! The games are:

Super Mario Bros: The one that started it all! This game is just plain fun!

Super Mario Bros. 2: Japan didn't want to release the real Mario 2 in America, because they thought it would be too hard for us! So they put a Japan-only game named, "Doki Doki Panic" and added Mario characters to it. Although it's the oddball of the series, it is pretty fun!

Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels: The REAL SMB2. This game is HARD! It's like SMB with some neat twists! You can be Mario or Luigi. Mario has medicore jumping power, but great traction. Luigi has great jumping power, but mediocre traction.

Super Mario Bros 3: Although not my favorite Mario game, [I prefer SMW] this is the best of the four. Mario has some cool powerups, tons of levels, and new challanges!

Got an SNES? Then get this!

This is a good collection of NES remakes for the super nintendo. The graphics are much better than the nes version. You also have the ability to save your games also which is great.
