Super Mario Brothers 1, 2 and 3 are classic Nintendo Entertainment System games. They were all fun to play and they made the NES a powerhouse in the video game world. In 1990 (Shortly after Super Mario Bros. 3 came out) Nintendo launched the Super Nintendo in Japan, the first true competitor against the almighty SEGA Mega Drive. It launched with F-Zero, Pilotwings, SimCity and Super Mario World. A few years later, Nintendo decided to repack the three classic Super Mario Brothers games along with one never released outside of Japan (Which is Called Super Mario bros. 2: The Lost Levels over here) onto one Super Nintendo cartridge. The result? Super Mario All-Stars, the definitive way to play the classic Super Mario Bros. Games. ------------------------------------------------- The control varies for each game but Super Mario Brothers, Lost Levels and Mario 3 all control pretty much the same and have the same basic gameplay (although Mario 3 is slightly more complex). You can walk with the D-Pad, Run with the Y Button and jump with the B button. Simple as. If you see an enemy, you simply jump on their head (Unless they're Spiny's or a Boss) and they die or retreat into their shell. You can also get Power-Up's along the way that let you get an extra hit or help you along the way. As normal Mario, one hit and boom. You are dead. If you get a Super Mushroom, it makes Mario (or Luigi) grow in size and allows him to take one extra hit. The Fire Flower let's him shoot fireballs and the Starman makes him invincible! Lost Levels has it's own unique item, the Poison Mushroom which if touched shrinks you in size or kills you instantly. Mario 3 has all sorts of Wacky power-ups. You have the Raccoon Leaf which allows Mario to fly and spin, the Tanooki Suit which does the exact same thing but allows Mario to become invulnerable to enemies after turning into a statue, the Frog Suit which allows you to swim better and the Hammer Bros. suit, which allows Mario to become a Hammer Bro. So he can throw Hammers. Mario 2 is definitely the most different of the bunch, since jumping no longer kills enemy's, now you have to throw vegetables and other things to kill them. You have a health meter aswell, so you'd better watch out! Two hits and you're done for. Also in mario 2, you can control four different characters: Mario, Luigi, Toad and the Princess. Each control differently and have their own unique abilities. Play the game to find out! ------------------------------------------------ The graphics in Super Mario Bros and Lost Levels are pretty much the exact same thing. They look very nice on the Super Nintendo, very colourful and very stylized. Mario 2 is my favourite in terms of Graphics. I like the wonderful colours and the varied environments in all of the worlds. Super Mario Bros. 3 was one of the Dullest games on the NES and thankfully it has been upgraded to the 16-Bit machiene with more colours, extra sprite detals and lovely looking environments. ------------------------------------------------ The sound in Super Mario Bros. and Lost Levels are again, the exact same thing. Only four songs in the entire game but one of them I'm sure yo all know: the Super Mario Bros. Main theme. it is probably the most well known gaming song ever and it shows here. it's really catchy and the 16-bit upgrade really improves the song's feel. Mario 2's soundtrack is great and Mario 3's while lacking in a few areas, I feel as though it made the transition very easily aswell. ------------------------------------------------ The game's are not heavy on story. Princess Peach has been kidnapped and it's upto you, Mario or Luigi to stop Bowser from taking over the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario 2 has a more elaborate plot. Mario and friends are sucked into a dream word and you have to stop the evil Wart from taking over the Subspace. Like I Said, not very heavy on story. ------------------------------------------------ The games are really addicting and have a High Score system to keep you coming back for more. There's plenty of secrets in each game for you to discover! ------------------------------------------------ Mario 2 is probably the easiest game of the four. Super Mario Bros. and Mario 3 are about the same difficulty, maybe with Mario 3 edging ever so slightly ahead. LOST LEVELS IS A GAME FROM SATAN HIMSELF. Honestly, if you want to be a massicist and are somebody who enjoys frustration and love Challenge, well Lost Levels is DEFINETLY FOR YOU. Honestly, the level design in that game is just ape! ------------------------------------------------ Overall, I really enjoy these four games, to a certain extent. I mean come on it's Super Mario Bros! Sure the difficulty may turn some casual players off but honestly this is one compilation you don't wanna miss out on. It's great value for money, even if it is slightly hard. My Score is 8.5 out of ten See you next review! ------------------------------------------------- The control varies for each game but Super Mario Brothers, Lost Levels and Mario 3 all control pretty much the same and have the same basic gameplay (although Mario 3 is slightly more complex).

Yeah I would have to love this game, because it put four very good Mario games into one. I have so much fun playing this with my friends in the past. Great review, and hope you continue to make more.
