1987, This is when The original Nintendo entertainment system was officaly released on shelves! Of course one of the first games that We all got on the system was Super Mario bros! This is was the official beginning of The plumber Mario's adventures in the mushroom kingdom, In 2004, Nintendo then released the original classic again on the Game boy advance! But does It still hold up like It did back in the day? Let's go ahead and find out....

Story-7/10
The big story behind this adventure is the usual, The evil bowser has kidnapped the beloved Princess peach! It is now up to Our favorite Plumber to save the princess and the Mushroom kingdom!

Gameplay-8/10
Super Mario bros is a platformer, You take the role of a fat plumber named Mario, as you adventure through more then 20 big levels in order to save the princess from peril. Along the way you will be battling a lot of enemies such as goombas, koopas, bullet bills, etc. You will also be collecting a horde of super powers to defeat the bad guys, such as a fire flower, which lets you shoot out fireballs at those pesky koopas and goombas, A star which will give you invincibility for a short while, and a lot of more. Most importantly are the coins which will grant you an extra life everytime you collect 100 of them.  This port is actually going good so far! Much better then that other port I reviewed....

Graphics-10/10
Simply amazing! The graphics are certainly beautiful, They look just like how they looked back on the Nintendo entertainment system, Which is always a plus! I take that back actually, This pretty much looks like a NES game running on the Game boy advance, oh wait, it Is!
So the graphics are big colorful and amazing! As for the characters, They are pretty good as well, especially considering this is a port. Everything looks like It's NES counterpart.

Sound-10/10
Without a doubt the best part of the game! This has to be the best soundtrack of any NES game ever made! The song on the overworld of the game has been forever stuck in our heads the day we heard it, which is pretty awesome. All of the other songs you will be hearing are pretty good as well. As for the sound effects, They are amazing as well, most especially the following sounds, Coin, fireball, jump, etc. It's like Nintendo never fails to impress me...

Addictiveness-9/10
How can this game not be fun? This is definitely a game that I'm never going to throw away from my Game boy advance games, You know our primo Mario does not deserve that! Maybe you can throw that other ported game in the trash, but not this one! Btw, there is a 2 player mode which I think can be done via Link cable.

Depth-6/10
Oh...and we just hit a downside in this otherwise amazing port, The problem in this port is that There just isn't much to do after you finish the game! The only real sense of Replay of value is the 2 player mode which can be done Via link cable, That mode is pretty fun, But It gets old pretty quick.

Difficulty-7/10
One of the game's main high points, The difficulty! Mario's adventure is pretty fun for the most part, But on all other parts, It ca get flipping hard! I remember get stuck in World 6 for quite a long time, And that my friend is not a good thing, But other then that, The game is pretty much a calkwalk if you can get past that.

Overall-9.4/10
If you need a huge Mario fix, I highly suggest you buy this game! It is without a doubt one of the best Mario games you can get on the Game boy advance right now! It is also pretty good for a port as a well. Nintendo did a much better job porting their Mascot's signature adventure way better then Sega did...Sega clean up that mess! Nintendo you can stay. So buy this game now, You will not regret I! I gave this game a 9.4 because how awesome and fun It is for a port.

RedHotToddy : Did they even make any changes to the Game Boy Advanced version? Anyway, good review...again. So I technically have the first ever Mario game. To play it, I could just pop out my Game Boy. I'd expect some changes made in this version like they did with Mario 2 and 3.

Great review! One thing I will never understand, though, is why does a plumber save the princess? Why a plumber of all people? Anyways, I don't think you need any help reviewing. You did a amazing job!

It's a pretty interesting port to the GBA, but I won't say its bad either. I could play this all day if I owned a real copy of it. Its pretty cool.
