Mario is back in this all start collection. Five games great games in one. So here we go its me Mario, Okay not really. But it is me tornadocam and I am reviewing this game or games. Plot: 10 Wow, were should I begin with 5 games. So to be fair I'm going to go over the plot of all 5 games. It is hard to say there is a plot when there is 5 games in this cartridge and each one has their own plot. The plot is going to vary depending on what game the player plays. So lets begin. Super Mario Brothers (also known as Super Mario Bothers one) If the player picks the very first game here is what they would be dealing with. Bowser King of the Koopa kidnaps Princes Peach and takes her to his castle. Mario and his brother Luigi must race through the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue the Princess and foil Bowser's plans of taking over the kingdom. Super Mario Brothers the Lost Levels is just basically the same plot from the first game so need to repeat it. Super Mario Brothers 2 If the player chooses this game it is a little bit different. Here is the plot for Mario Brothers 2. Mario dreams that he hears cries for help and sees a door in his dream. He opens the door and hears cries "save us from the evil Wart. Defeat Wart remember he hates vegetables". Mario wakes up goes for a picnic with his friends. He tells them about his dream. Suddenly he hears the same cry for help and sees the same door. What Mario Dreamed is actually happening. Mario and his friends go to the mysterious new world to liberate its people. If the player picks Super Mario Brothers 3 the plot is like this. Boswer returns to take over the Mushroom Kingdom. However this time Bowser has brought his children the Koopalings to take over the kingdom. Each Kingdom of the Mushroom Kingdom has been taken over by Koopalings. Princess Peach writes a letter to Mario and Luigi telling them what has happened. The Mario Brothers set out again to crush Bowser and his Children. Finally we have Super Mario World. The Plot of Super Mario world goes along like this. Mario, Luigi and Peach after their crushing victory in Super Mario Brothers 3, which vanished the Koopas from the Mushroom Kingdom, decide to take a vacation to Dinosaur Land. However, Peach disappears the brothers automatically suspect Bowser is involved. The Brothers then find Yoshii and he tells them that Bowser and his children have stormed Dinosaur Land. The brothers and Yoshii head out to liberate the Island and rescue Peach. Okay, yeah so this plot was hard to rate with 5 games. So I remembered how fun I had playing all the Mario games especially 2, 3 and Super Mario World. I give Super Mario All Stars plus Super Mario World a perfect 10. All the games have a good plot and offer something new. Graphics: 10 Okay what can I say 4 of these games were originally on 8 bits. Now the graphics are in 16 bits and it really shows. Super Mario Brothers now has very awesome graphics compared to its days on the NES. Mario and Luigi's shape is more defined, the enemies now have awesome sprints and the controls are nicely done. The backgrounds are so much better. In the other games its the same thing. Super Mario 2 has better backgrounds then it did when it first came out. The waterfalls look like waterfalls. The night time stages look like night. Not to mention the way the stars glow in the background in the desert stages is a nice touch. Super Mario 3 had awesome graphics when it came out in 1990. Well, the graphics of that game just got more awesome. The backgrounds in the 3rd game are so nice that the way the hills move to 16 bit, and how the stages now look is so awesome. Super Mario World already had 16 bit graphics and it rocked. The way the Lava glows, the forests stages it is so awesome. All of these games had their sprints and controls fixed. Anybody that has played the first game knows what I mean. In the first game controls seemed sluggish and stiff a few times. Also the sprints in the first Mario game were kind of out of whack in a few times. So it was nice to see them fixed. The lags in the 8 bit games have all been fixed. No were in this game does there seem to be a lag or the controls seem stiff. For Nintendo to convert 8 bit games into 16 bit games, and fix the sprints that is remarkable. Super Mario All stars & Super Mario World really shines on its graphics. The graphics were so smooth I feel like this game deserves a perfect rating of 10. Sound: 9 What Can I say about the sound. The games in this super game all have sound. Super Mario no longer has the tingle that it did when it first came out. The way the enemies sound in that game is so much better. Also the fire weapon sounds so much improved. Now the only thing is the first game has less than 5 sound tracks so I was hoping they might have added some new ones but I guess Nintendo wanted to keep it original. The Sound in the second game is so much better. The way the players pick up veggies and throw them is a nice sound. The sound that enemies make when they are thrown into other enemies is still pretty funny. But, just like the first game Super Mario Brothers 2 has a short sound track which is minor but if it can get tiring. The third game had a longer soundtrack but the sound is now much better. Mario fire weapon is still good. However the way the coon tail sounds when Mario is flying is so much improved. The player can now hear the sounds to let them know they are flying. Also how enemies sound in the 3rd game is very good. They sound more intimidating than they were in the 8 bit version. Super Mario World had a lot of sound tracks in it. The way the fireball sounds, and how the cape sounds is really nice how it makes a nice hum to it. Plus the sound the enemies make again can be intimidating. The levels each have their own sound track in Super Mario World which is really nice. I really like the Forrest level it is my favorite in that game. Still there are plenty of sounds in Super Mario World a lot of them are memorable and some are funny. Now, you may be wondering why I gave this a solid rating of 9 but not a 10. The reason being is because of the very short soundtracks of Super Mario Brothers 1 and 2. I know they were trying to be original but since this was 16 bit I was hopping they might have added a few more tracks in those two games. However, that is very minor and most players it does not bother. So to sum it up Super Mario All Stars had a very good sound to it. Nintendo really did good converting the 8 bit sounds into 16 bit tunes they do not sound different at all just better quality. Addictiveness: 10 I suspected a game that has five games in its cartridge would be very fun to play over again. I was not disappointed. I think just because the games are now in 16 bit really adds to their replay value. Super Mario Brothers 1 and 2 are even more fun to play than they were on their NES games. Super Mario 3 and Super Mario world are very high on replay value. What I also thinks adds replay value is you can now save your game. Used to if you had to leave, you had to turn the game off and too bad it meant starting over. Now you can save your process which is nice. The player can save their game and when they are able to play again , start were they left off. There are 5 games to chose from each with their own story. So it is nice to play through each game. Due to the games being better in graphics and sound as well as being in 16 bit. I find because of those reasons that this collection of games is fun to play. Depth: 10 The Depth of this game is really huge. Like, I mentioned above the player has 5 games to chose from. Each game has its own depth. Super Mario Brothers 3, and Super Mario World have high depths. It is fun in those games to collect different power ups and try to win with them. Plus they are secrets in those two games that need to be unlocked. In Super Mario World they are secret stages that can be unlocked. Both 3 and Super Mario World have different items that can be used to win. Not to mention 3 and Super Mario World have long stages. Both of those games have 8 worlds with several stages in them. Now The other games may not have the depth level but there is still a lot going on. Super Mario Brothers 2 it is fun to play with a different character after beating the game. Super Mario Brothers one has the least depth which is okay considering it is the first game. So since you can choose from 5 games and each game offers its own depth. I feel like it deserves a 10 out of 10. I personally liked how Nintendo was able to get 5 games into one cartridge. I also like how each game has its own depth. I enjoy playing games that have a lot to offer. If you are looking for a game that has a lot to offer you have picked a good game here. Difficulty: 9 The difficulty really varies on the game you chose to play. The first game Super Mario Brothers was pretty tricky but it did not get hard till after the 4th world. In the first game though what was so difficulty was the enemy placement in that game. It is so easy to get boxed in with baddies in that game. I have played that game several times and there are so many enemies its hard not to get hit by them. Then there is the maze levels. So the First game had its tricky spots. If you decided to play the Lost Levels good luck there. That game was the hardest Mario game ever. They are traps galore and the enemy placement is twice as bad as it was in the first game. Plus you have poisonous mushrooms in that game. If you chose Super Mario Brothers 2 it is the least difficulty of the games. Now, it does have its tricky spots and the enemy placement can be high after level 3 but it is not to hard. If you ware wanting a game to get used to how Mario games play than I would recommend starting with that one. Super Mario Brothers 3 is a hard game, longer stages, enemy placement and just more of the stages feel like obstacle courses. Super Mario World plays a lot like three. However what makes Super Mario world difficult is the enemies now have new attack patterns. So, the difficulty is going to vary depending on the game you pick. I give the overall difficulty a 9 out of 10. The reason it does not get a 10 is for two reasons. The first being you can save your game. While playing you do not have to start all over just save your game and when you get more free time you can continue. I remember playing on the NES and it was aggravating when you got deep in the game but had to go do something because you had to start all over. The second reason it gets a 9 out of 10 overall. Is because two of the games have moderate difficulty. Super Mario Brothers 1 and 2 have their tough spots but are not too bad once you get used to the controls. The other three games the Lost Levels, Three and Super Mario World can just bury you in difficulty and make you want to scream.. So that is why I give the all star collection a solid difficulty rating of 9 out of 10 . Overall 9.8 What can I say the All Stars is a great game. I can remember playing Super Mario Brothers 1, 2 and 3 when I was little on the original Nintendo. It was fun to play those games. Now they have been remastered into a 16 bit game. They are more colorful, better springs, better graphics and better sounding. I remember buying the All Stars I want to think it was 1996 maybe 1997 when I got this. I played every game because it was that fun. I also liked how they added Super Mario World to the game collection. I had friends who had Super Mario World because it came with their Super Nintendo. My SNES came with Donkey Kong (nothing wrong with that by the way as that is a very fun game too). I had heard how great Super Mario World was. So this was my way of getting it. I really loved playing this game when it came out. Guess what here I am and I enjoy playing these games. Every game has better graphics, springs, sounds and everything else. If you played the regular NES games you will find how great they are remastered in this collection. If this is your first time be prepared to be blown away. Everything a great game has this game collection has. I really liked this collection. I highly recommend playing this game you will not regret it. Plot: 10 Wow, were should I begin with 5 games.
