When I hear the phrase "Compilation Game" I automatically think of a bunch of different games of the same series all put into one action packed package, I have played quite alot of them in the past few days, And you could say I knew what to expect when I heard of this one of Mario right here, Because today I am reviewing without a doubt one of THE best video games deal in a while! This is Super Mario Brothers All-Stars for the SNES! Will this be a worthy compilation, or will it be completely worthless useless and not worth any of your time at all? Let's find out shall we?

Story-N/A
Well this is a compilation game, so of course there is not going to be any kind of story to it, But oh well, you guys all know the drill! When there is no story to a game, It is all up to me to make up my very own one! And here it is! My custom story, It is Mario's birthday today, And He has opened up this huge museum filled with everything Mario to celebrate! Oh well, let's have tons of fun and just hang out and look at everything this place has to offer guys!

Gameplay-8/10
As the game title suggests, Super Mario bros all-stars is a collection filled with a bunch of the plumber's first few adventures since he was born. This game contains the following titles, Super Mario bros, Super Mario bros 2, Super Mario bros 3, Super Mario world, and the very rare Super Mario the lost levels which was only released in Japan! All of these games are back, remastered in all their HD glory. They all control run and play very smoothly as well, Now If I am correct, each game also uses a save feature, meaning that you can save your current game wherever you last left off. The controls in each game are pretty simple, I am not going to really explain them since they are all different from eachother, but oh well! Another thing about this collection is that since this is a 16-bit system, the games also sound pretty great as well!  One of my personal favorite parts about the game is that It even has the famous "Minus world" from the first super Mario bros! For those of you who do not know, the minus world is this underwater level in the first game where you just keep swimming to the end, then at the end, there is a huge pipe in the way and you are forever trapped, this freaked me out the very first time I saw it, and I am still scared today! Anyways, I guess that is pretty much it for the gameplay.

Graphics-9/10
As I have addressed before, the games in this collection are back, and they are looking as sharp as ever in glorious HD, You know, when you come to think of it, The whole concept of this game makes me think of all those HD remastered collections that they have released of all Sony PS2 games for PS3! (I:E Ratchet and clank HD, Jak and daxter HD,etc) But anyways, each game in this compilation is looking as sharp as a tack, everything is alive and bursting with color, which makes you feel like you are actually in Mario's big world. The best part is that in the remastered Super Mario bros one in this game, the ground actually looks pretty darn realistic! Which is a huge plus, Now while some games have lost SOME of their old classic look, It is no prob with me, Change is sometimes a good thing if you come to think of it! The HUD in each game is pretty self explanatory, But I will not really have to go over that.

Sound-8/10
As with every other Mario game of this era, the soundtrack is extremely catchy and upbeat that you instantly get sucked into the Mario world as you listen to it! Yes, as I have said, this is on the SNES, so the soundtrack in each game is remastered in beautiful 16-bit glory, and that is just downright amazing if you ask me! Each level in each game here has music that really suits the mood of each level here, the underwater stages have this slowish tight music that sounds like you are swimming in a pool, the overworld theme however is really the kicker here! This song right here is what really represents Mario! "Do do do,  dun dun dun dun!" Yeah, you know the lyrics! The Sound effects in each adventure are your typical fare, you get boings, squashes, booms, chings, and so on!

Addictiveness-8/10
These games were pretty darn addicting back then, and today, well they still are! The thing that makes mario so fun is not that it is a platformer game (Something those darn thirsty game developers can't even make one of these days!) But it is that the games have really aged well since their original appearance! Each game has more to offer here then they did when they first came out,  and they are cool today! Another thing is that save feature, that is right, each game in this collection has a save feature in which you can save your progress anytime you want which eventually leads you to being able to beat the whole game not in one sitting, but in a few days!

Depth-10/10
This is a game that really deserves 10 on depth, and here are tons of reasons why, Well to start off, this collection has over 5 games all packed into one! And that is pretty obvious, and each game is about 8 or so levels long, so each one will most likely take you at least 1-3 hours to beat. This is a collection game, so what to expect guys?

Difficulty-6/10
A majority of the games here were pretty hard to beat and win back in the day, and in this collection, it still holds up alot! I remember having tons of trouble on that one level in Mario bros one where you are on this tree and you must jump across these heavy platforms, boy did that make me scream! And some of those bosses in the later titles were pretty hard, but if you are a true expert gamer at Mario and such, then this game shouldn't give you much trouble!

Overall-9.5/10
If you need a big huge and healthy Mario fix right now, then this collection right here is totally the way to go! It has over 5 action packed games all bundled into one! So you can't go wrong! I gave this game a 9.5 because how much it offers for you to do! Anyways, this has been RedHotToddy and his 112th review, and well, see you guys later!

A good review from you... Again! You're really good at this stuff. You should become an official review writer.

Anyways, good job! Like always, you summed up your categories into nice little subtopics! I had fun reading it.
