When people think of retro games, one of the ones that immediately comes to their mind is Super Mario Bros, and there's reason why, its one of the games that arguably saved the video game industry from the video came crash of 1983! But how well does it hold up today? Is it still a classic, or has it gotten old fashioned?

Graphics:

The graphics of the game are just plain AMAZING! For the time, it was ground breaking, and today, the  graphics still are appealing to the eye. Both the innovation and timelessness of these graphics give it a 10/10

Sound:

Oh, my, goodness. The sound is amazing! Not only is the sound quality revolutionary, the music is catchy and fits the levels. The music of the overworld is bright and catchy. So catchy that is has hundreds of remixes and orchestrations. But I personally like the castle theme because it feels like its infinitely building up and helps build up the stress that the levels generate. 10/10

Story:

The game's story is that Bowser kidnapped Princess Peach and Mario has to save her. It's not a great story but stories were never used too much in video games at the time, plus this was before it got so overused it isn't even funny. 6/10

Depth

While the game is linear, at the time, the game had a huge amount of depth! It had a lot of different levels and so many secrets, varying from a 1-up mushroom to skipping three worlds! 8/10

Difficulty

This game is HARD. It is one of the most challenging games I have ever played, in fact one of the reasons this game is so good is that its hard. It keeps you coming for more because you want to beat it, but you keep getting killed by "that stupid Goomba/pitfall." Every time you get past a level it really feels like its an accomplishment.  9/10

Addictiveness:

While the difficulty keeps you coming for more, once you beat the game, it can get a little bit stale. You might come back to mess around or make a glitch happen, but its replay value is a little low. It's not like Super Mario Bros 3 where the levels are so fun that you want to play them again. 6/10

Overall, this game is a blast to Play, amazing graphics and sound make the game appealing to the eye and ear, and the difficulty is there to keep you coming for more. Even though the replay value was a little low, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a good challenge, but if you like more depth to your games, I recommend Super Mario Bros 3, or better yet, Super Mario World. Overall, this game gets a 8.5/10

Great review! I didn't see anything wrong with it. Keep up the good reviewing!
