Mario everyone knows Mario but some people don't know the first game he was in (which wasn't Super Mario Bros its Donkey Kong) but we ant talking bout that game, we are talking about the game that actually made the Italian 'plumber' who is known for today A.K.A the one and only (LOLZ!) Super Mario Bro(s). Way back in the year of 1683 there was a video game crash and not one gamer knew what was gonna happen after that then the NES came along and changed the date by 200 years! Oh and it also gave us video games one of which was Super Mario Bros. which was one of the launch titles on the system and it is considered to be one of the games that helped the video game economy become what it is today (75% of what I said was true.) So this game was the shiz back then but over 20 years later............. does it still hold up or has time and fame gotten to it, well lets find out shall we? As this was one of the games that launched on the NES there Graphics for the game could be a bit bad and people wouldn't give that much hate because some developers might not know how powerful the system is, but the game was made by the people who made the system so of course the game is gonna look good and it does. It kind of seemed like some other games before it had the same graphic feel (what I mean is that the area might be different but if felt and kind of looked the same) but Mario Bros proves its the big bro by making each new area you go to feel new and different. Not only does each area feel different the areas are also nice and colorful the color is varied from brown to green to blue to whatever you can think of cept purple (I think), and the colors don't clash with each other so theirs no 'wow that's distracting' points in the game. And Mario himself looks......... decent to me he looks a bit too small but its nothing ill lose eye sight over, he looks nice and plump (ooooooooooooooh yaaaaaaaaaaaaa) not only that but he can also change colors (ooooh, aaaah, eeeeh) when he gets a fire flower he turns into a fat man with a white overalls with a red undershirt (which is the only game to have done this.) But back to the areas, the areas change as you go along one stage you might be in the mushroom kingdom the next you might be swimming underwater (rarely) or even going through a dungeon so they really made use of the color pallet for this game, and it rocks for that. SO for being a kind of sorta (not really launch title) for the NES they really knew what they where doing with the Graphics and for that I shall happily give them a 7 out of 10. We all know how great the Sounds are in this game so must I go on? Well do I.................... ok fine ill explain what I mean, I'm not sure if its because of how old or classic this game is or just because this game rocks but the music is AWESOME and its made some of the most memorable video game music we have. We all know and love the world 1-1 theme but that's not all that rocks in fact almost all the tracks do and get this THERES MORE THEN ONE TRACK IN THE GAME, so if you hate repeating tracks then worry not because once again Super Mario Bros. proves it is the big sister of other games. The music itself has this little 'pop' to it that makes it have it own cheery and energetic feeling to it that makes you want to grab your Italian back fat and swing it around like you just don't care (please don't), so the tracks vary from the Mushroom kingdom goodness to the game over goodness (wait a moment game over goodness.................) I think my favorite track is the underwater track so good. So how bout them there sound effects? Well I tell ya bout em (my mommy told me I had to or else) and they are like the music they have there own happy feel from them (kind of weird I know) and you know what id never of thought a spring sound effect would work for a fat man but darn it it sure does (somehow.) The only bad thing I can come up with when it comes to music is that there aren't really that many tracks so while they sound good after the 20th time you get kind of sick of them and just wish there was more to rub your ear against the tv for. So weather you are kicking it to the goodness of the over world theme or kicking the bucket with the game over theme you know you will be doing it to a Sound with a score of a 9 out of 10. So can a game this old really be Addictive, well to some people yes it can be and its mainly people who are really into platformers and like it to be a bit slower then the likes of say Sanic The Hoghedge. You would also like this game if you have a thing for speedrunning games because Super Mario Bros. can be beaten veeeeeeeeeeeeeery quickly like 5 minutes and done kind of quick, ore if you like finding secrets can beat the game that fast unless you found out them those secret warp points am I right? If your someone who likes to beat levels in general would like it to (really stretching the player types here aren't we?) And of course you would like Mario Bros. if you like Sonic The Hedgehog (OH YA I SAID IT COME AT ME BRO DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!) I mean they are very similar so its not like its gonna be that hard to switch from one to another (cept for having to tell the fan base bout it 0,o) so you might as well give it a whirl. Or if you are a big fan of the more modern 2.5 D Mario (or even the 3d ones) games then try it out you like it, or if you never played a video game before it might become the game you play once or twice a year. So if your a platformer nut a Sonic Fanboy (or girl) or a newbie to video games you might find this game Addictive because it gets a 5 out of 10. Oh Mario games and there lack of Story how I kind of love you so (not really) so if you thought modern Mario games had a sucky story well.................... its the same story here as it is there and here's what it is. A 'plumber' who lived in New York named Mario decides one day that he was going to save a princess named Toadstool from being um.......................... I don't know by a Turtle named Bower. And that's the entire story in the end you do save the princess but the story really doesn't do anything at all, its just there to be there and whenever you finish a dungeon you save a toad not the princess and he thanks you bout after 7 times of that you wish you would get something for saving that lazy, stupid woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But you don't so what's the point? There isn't one and that can be REALLY annoying in the end, but hey if you don't care about that stuff then well I guess you wont care about that stuff now will you? So the storyline doesn't really have one but it tries a bit and does it to the point that wish you would get something for your troubles but you don't so the Story wont get a perfect 10 out of 10 but really a 2 out of 10. What's the Depth? Well how deep is Mario's gut? Ok that has nothing to do with anything but I wanted to say something anyways, I personally don't think that a average platformer has that much depth but this isn't average this is Super Mario Bros. (don't ja know) so what does it have to offer? Well if you want to play all the levels then for a game of the time you have a decent amount to do and if you want to play some glitched levels then there's even more to do (if your into that kind of stuff), how many levels are there? Well there are 8 worlds and 4 different levels per world so there are 32 levels (wowzers right?) so there are a decent amount of levels to go through. And you can also go through them with a friend (you know if you have the money to have one, unlike me) because there is a 2 player mode which means FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not only that but you could play through the game as the long lost Mario Bro. Luigi (the occult fave right?) So there's always that for a rainy day am I right, or am I right huh huh huh. But sadly there really isn't that much else to be offered in the game you complete all the stages then you beat the game and don't really think, 'Man cant wait to do that again' but its still enough to want to go back to from time to time. So with all of that being said I still think for a first game in the series and for something that came out way long ago it can still get a Depth score of 6 out of 10. So the Difficulty of a platformer could be because of stupid or terrible level ideas, because of stupid enemy placement or because its done right, well Super Mario bros is a bit of all in a way. What I mean is that there really isn't any terrible level design (so I lied, how do I live with myself?) but some enemies can be placed a bit annoyingly (bullet Bill, Hammer Bros.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) But there's also those times where you under or overshoot a jump so there is that. But when it comes to the controls, well it might be me but Mario feels a little bit loose but hey that could be just me,and the control lay out couldn't be anymore user friendly I mean all we have are the d pad, and a jump and run button so its gonna be hard to forget what button does what really. Even though the game might not be INSANELY hard but after a bit of time you will slip up and die and feel annoyed, then you will die over and over again because you aren't thinking straight then your grades slip, you get fired run out of milk, after about two weeks I get a phone call saying my rabbit is ready for pickup and no one wants that, but that's really the most annoying parts of the game (minus the milk part.) But really its not too hard of a game and I think the game cane be harder person to person so I think the closest score ill give it is a ~6 out of 10. The game might be over 20 years old but the game still holds up pretty well, better then some modern day games which really say something about how this game was made and that just adds on to the extra awesome sauce that this game is smothered and deep fried in. The game may not look the greatest, smell the greatest or even walk the greatest compared to modern day games but we cant deny how many times this game has been remade or As this was one of the games that launched on the NES there Graphics for the game could be a bit bad and people wouldn't give that much hate because some developers might not know how powerful the system is, but the game was made by the people who made the system so of course the game is gonna look good and it does.

Much improvement. Such wow.
You've already come a long way, man. Keep on working on your style, and soon you'll be taking my job from me. I mean... uhhh.... 
You managed to stay on track and be clear about what you were saying, you explained the ratings and the game well. Nice work there. The negatives? It still wasn't as neat as it could have been, but that comes with experience, so just keep working on it. Like I said, you've improved a lot already, so keep on going.

It's hard to explain really, but it felt like while you did do a great job tightening your sentence structure and tidying all that up very well, like you still lacked some focus. Don't get me wrong, you did good overall.
Also: "So whether you are kicking it to the goodness of the over world theme or kicking the bucket with the game over theme you know you will be doing it to a Sound with a score of a 9 out of 10" I love the wording there. That was clever word play, and top notch writing.
