This really sparked the platforming genre, and there is a good reason why. This time I won't talk, and just get into the review.

Graphics : 9/10 

I personally like the graphics. They are fun and interesting. From the fireworks at the end of the stages, to the variety of blocks that you can break. The only real complaint I have is that Mario's clothes match his hair. That's an age old complaint, but It confuses me. Everyone else had different colors, why did he not? I'm sure there is a good reason that I am overlooking. Until then, I will have to pretend he is furry. 

Sound : 8/10 

Super Mario Bros has wonderful 8 bit music, and some cheery sound effects. I love both the effects and the music, but after a while it does get annoying. Just slightly, and not half as bad as the other games that have loops. They still remain lovely to this day, but after about an hour it makes me turn the volume down a little. Mainly the jumping. It's the best Mario jumping sound effect, and it is recognizable, but it is annoying if you jump a lot. It's definitely not the worst sound effect ever, specifically for jumping, but I still am not fond of it.

Addictiveness : 10/10

Once you get into this game, it's hard to put it down. I love playing it for hours, it keeps getting better. The time I stop is after losing, but I always come back to it though. It's like an addiction, hence the Addictiveness rating! I think this game has a very high replay value. Thirty years later, people still think of SMB when they think of Nintendo. It's one of the games that made the NES a classic, because once you start you don't want to stop!

Story : 7/10

The story is good, but it's confusing. I know this was an early 80's game, so story wasn't a big concern as long as it's fun. It's like that today. I still think that it is kinda hard if you are new to it, that you have no idea! It's pretty generic nowadays, the difference is the fact that the generic games copied the idea from this one! This spawned so many kill the boss, save the princess games. It's the most classic and most fun story I have ever seen though. I think that the save the princess games are the most fun. Whether you're a knight in shining armor or a plumber in  brown/red clothes. I think that's why it has a high story rating, because it's fun and interesting.

Depth : 10/10 

Even with fire flowers and warp zones, only the skilled speed runners can make this a 5 minute game. If you just like to enjoy the game, your in for a good, long, and challenging time. This game takes a while to beat. It also takes commitment, if you are willing to face the challenge head-on, then you deserve to beat it. Well you deserve to enjoy, but it takes commitment to successfully make that dream true.

Difficulty : 8/10

It's hard, I know. Oh goodness it is so hard! No saving ability, small amount of  lives, and 1-2 hit deaths. I know it's pretty hard. But it's not really hard until the later levels though, and there are lives/powerups you can find. If you practice enough, you can get the hang of it. So all in all it isn't really that hard, and it isn't really memorable for it's difficulty. I think it could have been way worse.

Overall : 9.8/10 

I think it's a classic no matter how many people hate it. Whether if it's too hard or too long, I like it. Tell me if you agree with me down in the comments. How would you have it be changed? Tell me that down in the comments also! If you want a specific game review tell me to do it, and I will as soon as I can!

This is a good review that talks about a game that I love. You did a great job with this one, aside for the :, its almost an exact replica of how I do my reviews and I like the length of the review as well. You did a good job with this, keep up the work and make more of these.

You wrote an excellent review of the game, with good structure and enough details to inform players about the game. Unfortunately, I think you description of the story is going nowhere. You used word fillers when you could have kept it shorter like the other sections.

Good job nonetheless!
