Super Mario All-Stars

The Good
The Graphics were PERFECT!!!! For all you people from 83', you should still try it, it's the same thing as the original with the original music that is updated(and sounds A LOT better),and The Graphics are tweaked up a bit...but they RULE!!!!!!...It's pretty much buying something so rare and amazing at a cheap price!!! It's all your Mario games for the NES...It includes Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and The Never-before released in America....Super Mario: The Lost Levels!!!!! If you are just starting to use the SNES and don't know how to play, you can Switch the controls... The other All-Stars includes Super Mario World! Play over Hundreds of even thousands of Levels on Each game...so If you got a Super Nintendo Entertainment System laying around...go buy this...It is TOTALLY worth it!!!!

The Bad
Well...They should have put the older versions in there, but I understand that 1 cartridge does'nt have a lot of memory, AND 4 Games in 1 is good enough for Me!!!

The Bottom Line
The Bottom Line...It's the Best Mario Game (or Games) Ever!!!!! Buy it at a cheap price (It's about $5.00-$10.00)...It's totally worth it.

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.

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!!!
