The Good
This game? Or these games? That's right, now you get Super Mario Bros. 1 and 3, which were the top sellers for the NES, Super Mario Bros. 2 and the never before released Super Mario The Lost Levels all in ONE game! How sweet is that? And the original's have been updated with better sound and graphics! Aieeee!!!
The Bad
Eh? no.
The Bottom Line
Unless you already own all 3 Super Mario Bros. games you MUST get this!

Four awesome Mario games, what more could you want?
The Good
Rarely would O call a game prefect, but in my opinion Super Mario All Stars for the Super Nintendo is pretty darn close. Four amazing games on one cartridge, with sound and graphic upgrades from the original NES versions. You can also now save your progress which you could not in the NES originals. The game themselves are heaps of fun and easy to pick up, but impossible to put down. Mario 1, 3 and Lost Levels all have a 2 player mode were you take turns to complete levels, but you can help one another to complete the game or just race each other to the end. This can be great fun and I have many found memories of playing it with my big brother. Mario 3 also has a 2-player mode which is a remake of the original Mario Bros. arcade game, also great.
The Bad
Not that much, I suppose that its not so much a bad thing, but seriously, Super Mario Bros.-The Lost Levels is a HARD game (if your not aware of the history of Lost Levels and Mario 2, look it up on Wikipedia,its an interesting story). It does not mess around. Now I consider myself to be a pretty good Mario player, but after years of trying I can hardly get past the first world. So that ones for the HARDCORE only.
The Bottom Line
Well like I've said about 23 times now, its 4 awesome games on one cartridge. If you've never played a Mario game before (crazy fool!) this is a great place to start. This was actually the first Mario game I played. PLAY IT NOW!!!

The Good
A compilation of classics, often imitated, never replicated.
The Bad
Lost Levels is too hard. Caveat: It's fine if you stick with the primary game, 1-1 through 8-4. No game this difficult should require multiple clears just to see all the content. That feature should have been removed.
The Bottom Line
The standard by which all 2D platformers are judged.

Trivia
Lost Levels
This compilation features the release of the original Japanese version of "Super Mario Bros. 2" ("Super Mario Bros. - Lost Levels") for the first time in America.
Special version
A special version of this title was packed in with some Super Nintendos. The game featured all of the Mario games featured on the original cart as well as "Super Mario World." Also, the game featured a red title screen as opposed to the normal blue one.
Super Mario 2
The Super Mario 2 game wasn't intended to be a Mario game at all. It originates from the Japanese game "Doki Doki Panic", which was reworked by Nintendo (they changed some sprites and screens) and released in USA as "Super Mario Bros. 2". In Japan, there is another SMB2 - which is called "Super Mario Bros. - Lost Levels" in this cartridge, which plays more like SMB1 but is much more difficult.
