Sûpâ Mario korekushon

This game brings together some of the best games from the 8 but generation, the Mario games. I think nothing needs to be said except to remind people that SMB3 is the best game on the NES. They're perfect translations, every enemy that was there is in here (Trust me, I checked). The most welcome addition of all is the ability to save in SMB3, a game that takes a full day out of your life to completely play through, something I've done only once. Every other time, I used the warp whistles. So, if you're a newbie trying to catch up, this cart means 3 less purchases to make. If you're not, you need it for the Japanese SMB2: The Lost Levels. Either way, buy it.

Super Mario All-Stars is a textbook example of how to do a video game compilation right. Bundling four classic Mario games from the NES era-Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and the previously Japan-exclusive Lost Levels-this SNES collection offers both nostalgia and value in one colorful package.

Chapter 1: A Fresh Coat of Paint

The most noticeable change is the graphics. Each game has been lovingly redrawn in the 16-bit art style of Super Mario World, and it really works. The visuals are bright, detailed, and bring new life to levels that many players already know by heart. Add in enhanced music and sound effects, and the whole package feels revitalized without losing the spirit of the originals.

Chapter 2: Same Great Taste, Better Presentation

Each game is faithfully recreated in terms of gameplay, with only minor tweaks. The physics may feel slightly different to purists, but the essence is still intact. The addition of a save feature is a huge quality-of-life improvement-especially for the longer and tougher games like Lost Levels or Mario 3. It finally lets players explore these classics at their own pace.

Chapter 3: Not Without Limits

While the collection is strong overall, it's not flawless. The games remain largely unchanged content-wise-no bonus levels, no concept art, no extra developer insights. It's a visual and audio upgrade, but not an expanded or remixed experience. And if you're not already invested in these games, their age might still show through in some of the more dated mechanics.

Final Thoughts

Still, what Super Mario All-Stars delivers is a clean, polished, and respectful way to play some of the most important platformers in history. Whether you're reliving memories or discovering them for the first time, it's hard not to smile.

8/10 - A top-tier remaster of four timeless classics. Simple, solid, and still a blast.

The idea behind "Super Mario All Stars" for the Super Nintendo is a great one. Put together all the Mario games (at least to that point) on a single cartridge and allow players to SAVE their progress. Wow! While the concept it a great one, the trouble I've always found with this collection comes from the individual games themselves.

-Mario 3: 95% percent of my time playing "All Stars" was spent playing this game, as it is the one that easily translates the best from NES to SNES. It is the only game that doesn't feel like a "port", and it is the best all-around Mario game maybe ever (Mario '64 may give it a run).

-Mario 1: A faithful re-creation of the iconic original. However, I've always felt that game was meant to be played on the original NES with the two-button control. It plays okay on the SNES, but it loses some of that atmosphere.

-Mario 2: This is just a strange game to begin with. It is completely different (pulling up plants and throwing them?!) than any other Mario game. I know some people really enjoy it, by I always skipped this one because I thought it wasn't as good as the traditional Mario setup.

-Lost Levels: The trouble here is that Lost Levels is just too doggone difficult (the reason why the strange Mario 2 exists in the first place, as game distributors correctly evaluated it as much too hard for U.S. gamers). It looks great and feels like a classic Mario game, but good luck getting anywhere past the first couple of levels. I can run through the entire Mario Bros. original with almost no damage, but I could barely even make a dent in this one.

Thus, your overall enjoyment of "Super Mario All Stars" will likely come down to two factors: 1. Does it bother you to play a game on a different system for which it was intended?"; and 2. Will you play Mario 2 and/or Lost Levels enough to even make it worth your while? I had hours of fun playing Mario 3 from this cartridge, but all the others pretty much sat stagnant for the reasons described above

The best of games for the original Nintendo system are together in one Super Nintendo game. Super Mario Bros 1, 2 and 3, along with the Lost Levels which is actually Japan's Super Mario 2. The graphics have vastly been improved, especially the original game. Best of all, it has Nintendo's best character of all Mario. Another fine point is how you can save your game unlike the originals. Overall, this game is great.
