Never in my time of reviewing games have I ever given a score like this to any game. Luigis New Adventure and The Legend Of The Yos***al may be the only exceptions to this. This game is Super Mario World All-Stars + Super Mario World. Thats right, you got it right, this is the 5 games in 1 compilation and this even includes the lost levels. Sadly, this does not have the Super Mario Bros 3 lost levels. But anyways lets this ripper review underway. This may also be one of the longest reviews I have ever made on my time on here. I did have this at around 1300 words earlier when I first tried to review this but I forgot to put it into word and I lost it all and I can't really remember what I put in all the categories that made it to 1300 words.

The Graphics 10/10

If this didn't have the graphics after the all stars update (which was mainly designed to make the graphics better) I would of given the graphics 9/10. But this had the all stars graphic update or an overhaul of the graphics if you will. I mean, this is from 1991 the graphics overhaul or the graphics update. So imagine if they did another today, imagine what the graphics would look like now. If they did an update today I would probably rate it above 10 if I actually could do it.

Gameplay 10/10
The controls for this game actually depends on what game you play. I am not sure what the controls are for doku doku panic. Which is the one that was put out in the US. All the controls for the reviews I make are the controls that are chosen by default. I have not changed them in anyway because the controls for all the games the controls aren't so complex. (Like having to press certain keys at once with one hand which some may find hard to do.
Ok for all the games except doku doku panic and super mario world and super mario bros 3 the controls are: Z to speed up. X is to jump. The arrow keys to move and z is also the key to throw out fire balls. 
For Super Mario Bros 3: The controls are: Z and x are the keys to jump. Z is the key to throw fireballs and is the key to fly. The arrow keys to move and to go faster you need to use the a key.
The controls for super mario world are sort of the same to super mario world except with a few differences.
Z is the normal jump (from all the super mario games) and X is the spin jump. (I use this the most often because it lets me jump off of things.) To use a cape you need to hold down a (is also the key to speed up if you don't have the cape.) and depending on whether to you want to fly using a spin jump or a normal jump depends on what you want to do.

Story 7/10

I am not sure about the story line for doku doku panic but for the rest of the games the story line is based around the fact that Bowser has kidnapped Princes Peach (or Princess Toadstool if you do your research about Princess Peach) and how you have to rescue her.

Sound 10/10

Now I could probably bore all you people if I went through the music of every level on every game if only my speakers could work. So I guess I have to do this by my memory. But the sound of each game and of each level is from their original game. If I did every single level from every single  game I'm sure I would get to at least 2000+ words and you would probably tl;dr it and post about it making a rant how the sound category was too long and the rest was way too short.

Addictiveness 10/10

5 games to choose from, super mario world has 120 total exits, some other games have secrets of their own and most importantly is the fact that this compilation of games are very fun so you won't be getting bored of this game any time soon at all. I can reassure you that you won't be getting bored of this so quickly. This is one of those games where you won't want to stop playing until you have beat every game and unlocked everything in it.

Depth 10/10


With 5 games and some can span from minutes to hours to complete you'll be sure to be playing this for ages. Also in super mario bros the lost levels there are 4 hidden worlds they respectively are called a, b, c and d. To unlock this you have to beat the game 8 times. These have 4 levels each and they are much harder than 8-4 which is the final level. I don't think I am good enough to be able to do D-4. But I can't beat 4-4 because the maze level sucks and its so confusing for me.

Difficulty 8/10

For some games like super mario bros and super mario bros 3 it doesn't really get all that hard until you are getting close to the end. For Super Mario Bros it gets hard at 8-1 for me. I usually just warp the game so I can't really say for sure where the game does get hard for me. For Super Mario Bros 3 it gets hard for me near the final level. I mean I could just speedrun the first few worlds and I have done this. Like world 1 100% in 5 mins world 2 100% in 6 mins. Man I seriously achieve some crazy times.
For the lost levels it gets hard for me from 4-4 onwards. But some levels earlier on I beat with not much time to spare because you start those with like 300 timer and it doesn't even give you 300 seconds. (It gives you about 2 and a half minutes or so.
For Super Mario World the part where it gets difficult for me is all over the place. Like it gets hard after the second level of the special world for me. It gets hard for me at like the last world if you don't do star road and that. The hardest part about Super Mario World for me is the fact of finding the secrets. But you can look them all up.

Overall 9.7/10


I strongly suggest that you play this game. Even if you have do what I suggested earlier, beat it 100% including all the secret levels (including -1 in Super Mario Bros 1) and including the 4 new worlds in super mario bros lost level which is obtained by beating the game 8 times. (Crazy requirement i know but I didn't make the game.) Even if you have other things to do or not I suggest that you find time to play this game.

A good, convincing review. I like it. You divided it up, explained it, and made people want to play it. I want to. It seems like a cool game, just because I read this review. Keep on going.

goodboy : You read this whole review in such time? No one ever reads game reviews.

But I did, however. Nice review, Red. I like how you categorized the review, it was well worded for a review, and this review has a good amount of detail. Good luck on any future review you have in store for us.

(I just thought this through: replies on reviews are basically REVIEWING a game REVIEW.

Not a bad review here, but it could be a bit confusing for some that you refered to Super Mario Bros. 2 US as Doki Doki Panic. I understand that it was a rip of it, but it still wasn't the same game. That, and a lot of people don't know about Doki Doki Panic, so it really won't make sense to them.

Other than that, this wasn't a bad review.

PixelBrick : I can do things you've never imagined.

This review is AMAZING! I give this a ten, you categorized it, and you put a lot of detail in it! I look foward to reading your next review, your reviews are slowly getting longer! I htink you would do good as a staff game reviewer, this review is just breathtaking. You have a lot of talent as a reviewer, and I hope you get the staff position as a game reviewer soon!
