Super Mario Brothers Deluxe Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is an excellent adaption of the original game to the Game Boy Color. Now you can play the classic, history-making first game anywhere, even if you don't have a tv or plugg-ins! There are a whole lot of add-ons to thisgame. First of all, they changed some parts of the game for the better.Then they also added the lost levels of the game that can only be accessedwhen you reach a specific high score (of which I can't remember). They alsohave a racing activity with Boo the ghost and a challenge version of thegame where finding red coins and Yoshi's eggs are as important as finishingthe levels, too. And there's also a "verses" edition, where youcan play against one of your friends (or enemies, of course). Whoeveradapted this game to the Game Boy Color said "I want this version ofthe game to be even better," and they did a wonderful job. Thegraphics even look better! The Game Boy screen is too small to fit theentire layout of the levels onto it at the same time, so you have to lookaround using the "Up" and "Down" buttons. But that'sokay, 'cause that just adds on to the challenge of the game! I only gavethis video game 4 1/2 stars because you will still want to see yourselfplay on the big screen, but I would recommend this version of the classicgame to anyone who liked it back in 1985. You'll probobly like this versioneven better!

Classic NES Series: Super Mario Bros Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you want to buy one of the RETRO Classic NES carts Nintendo is offering this is definitely #1 on the list for sheer ease of play and memories. SUPER MARIO BROS is a perfect port of the NES game (minus one glitch at the end of the 3rd world that gave you infinite lives).Several have bemoaned you can not save your progress, and that's true ... but in the original game this was not an option.Learn the game well enough and you can WARP your way through the beginning levels anyway!You play as Mario or Luigi jumping your way through many worlds (levels) to get to save Princess Toadstool and her courtiers.Set in a land where evil mushrooms, turtles, fish and birds attack from all directions (okay 90% of them are on the right!).
The graphics and controls are the same ... no embellishments or "lost zones" or challenge modes ... just straight up classic MARIO and LUIGI in their first adventure back in the NES days.It's a very nice port, and I like the ability to take it with me on the road in my SP.It also brings back memories when I hook it up to the TV and get to see it normal size!
I've kind of gone off about paying $20 for Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, and Excite Bike (why not a compilation of those on ONE cart - especially when you can get the e-reader versions for $5).But this one is well worth it because you have many levels to play, and the ability to play 2 player!This is still a fun game, and I can't believe how instantly likeable it still is even after playing all the latest!Cute, simple, and fun!Any age can enjoy it!Highly reccommended - not just for nostalgia freaks.Though they will get a kick out of the perfect replica packaging - from the instructions, the cart, and the box -- it all looks old school!Trademark classic 80s game that helped build an empire around Italian plumbers attacking mushrooms!Wow!

Super Mario Bros. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Sold as a 2 in 1 package or 3 in 1 package Super Mario Bros. easily out shinned the other games that it came with.The second in a long line of Mario games and the game that help make Nintendo what it is today.Super Mario Bros. had the first appearance of his arch nemesis Bowser and flying turtles, who can forget the flying turtles?
Replayability [10/10] Yes, replayability, the ability for you to play one game over and over and not become bored with it.Super Mario Bros. has been beaten myself well over 100 times, whether I just warp through the levels or just go through the whole game its been done.No matter how often I play it, it still brings back the days of spiking a controller into the ground when you fall into a pit or get hit by a hammer from a Hammer Brother. Super Mario Bros. is the game that got me into video games and I have never put it down since. One of the key reasons to it being so easy to pick back up is the size of the game.There are 8 worlds with 3 sub divisions in most of them.And even if you get bored of playing it at one time and would just like to finish it off, there is always a warp point only a few minutes away.No matter how many times you beat this game, it just never seems to get old enough to leave in the closet.If it were any better, it would have had a movie made after it

Super Mario Bros. 2 Review

(More customer reviews)While many consider this the black sheep of the Super Mario Bros series on the NES, this game is actually my favorite on the bunch.The world is nothing like the world of the other Mario games, and the enemies and bosses and goal is different.This is a quest to defeat Boss Wart (instead of Bowser) and you have the options of playing as one of four characters (with the ability to switch every level): Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, Toad.Each of these characters have different play characteristics.Toad can pick up any object with no difficulty but is the worst jumper.Princess is the opposite (no strength, but can float).Luigi has the best jump (no float), but that becomes its own problem.Mario is perfectly average.These strengths and weaknesses come into play in choosing who to use for each level and some are clearly better than others on any given level. Even though I found this game to be the easiest of the bunch, for me it was also the most fun.This is still a side-scrolling game, but some levels scroll up and down on the screen (keeping the side-scrolling viewpoint, though) depending on if you are climbing or dropping down.There are shortcuts in many levels and different ways to warp, get extra lives (including an odd cheat for extra lives), or to shorten the game.In the end, there are a couple of difficult levels, but this may be the easiest of the three on the NES.Even so, this is my favorite of all of the Super Mario games on the NES.

GREAT GAME. SUPER MARIO BROTHERS PART 2 FOR NES NINTENDO. ALL-TIME CLASSIC. A MUST FOR ANY TRUE HARDCORE GAMER, COLLECTOR OR GAME PLAYER. LOTS OF FUN. HERE IS SOME MINOR INFO ON THE GAME. Players choose from four characters each time they start or restart a level: Mario, Luigi, Toad and Princess Peach. Each has a special ability: Luigi can jump very high, the Princess can remain temporarily suspended in the air as if she were levitating, Toad can pick up things quickly and is very agile, and Mario is well-balanced in all areas. This is the only original Super Mario game where Princess Peach is not the damsel-in-distress along with being the first playable female character in a Mario game. In future Mario games in which multiple characters were playable, with the exception of Mario Golf, Mario would always be the most balanced character. A unique ability in this game is the "power squat"; by holding Down on the control pad for a few seconds, players could build power for higher jumps. One of the game's most defining aspect is the ability to pluck vegetables from the ground to throw at enemies; these vegetables reappear in Super Smash Bros. Melee as one of Peach's special attacks.

Super Mario Bros. 3 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Super Mario Bros 2 is my favorite game of the series and the original SMB is a legend.So where does this leave Super Mario Bros 3?This was the last Super Mario game on the old NES and while I might like some of the other games more, this might be the class of the series on the NES.With the strange direction that SMB2 went, this was a trip back to the roots of Mario.This is a true side scrolling game and features many of the same enemies from the original.You still jump, stomp and throw fire to make your way through the game.But there are new features now.First, there is now a world map and you can select which level you want to enter next.Some levels are avoidable, some are not, but you can also do special areas (several mini-games and an area where you get bonus items).You are able to get items throughout the game, and you can use them before levels to be stronger.There are also several different suits that augment your abilities.The most common is the Racoon suit which allows you to kill the enemies by flicking your tail at them, and also giving you the ability to fly for short periods of time. There is also a frog suit (allowing swimming to be easier), a Tanooki suit (much like the raccoon suit, but you can briefly turn to stone to avoid enemies...rare), and I believe there is a Hammer Brothers Suit (but I could be wrong about this one....my memory is a little hazy).This is one of the best games released for the NES and is essential gaming for a Mario fan.

New Super Mario Bros. Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I grew up on Super Mario Bros... Super Mario Bros 2... Super Mario Bros 3... Super Mario World... Super Mario 64... and then for a while I quit playing Nintendo.It was the time of PS2 and XBox, and I have not played a Nintendo game in several years now.

I bought my youngest son a Nintendo DS not long ago - and this was one of the games I got him for it.

Unlike most nostalgic feelings - this has been a real treat to revisit this part of my childhood.My son was playing it, and asked me to get him past a certain part.I was immediately hooked and continued playing until I had beat several more levels.Since then I have been grabbing his DS at every opportunity and playing further along - and am about halfway through the game so far.

It is classic Mario - if you ever played any of the original games you'll know the score - however new music, some new moves (downward slams, wall jumping, etc.) as well as delightful moments such as getting the super big mushroom which makes Mario as tall as the screen - while you laugh like crazy and burst through everything - walls, blocks, enemies, etc. like King Kong on crack add a whole new depth to the game - and keep the 80's classic fresh in its newest form.If you grew up on the old games like I did - you will squeal with delight when you see a new enemy that was only in a select level or two from one of the older games - that brings the memories back fresh.

I am extremely pleased at how such a classic character can be brought back in a fresh new way - and invigorate this franchise which is still going strong after two, nearly three decades.

I had absolutely no interest in the Nintendo DS and only bought my son one because he had been really good this year.Now that I've tried out this game - I find myself browsing through Amazon for new DS games to try.

I wholeheartedly recommend this game for the DS... although I will warn you that you will find yourself wanting to feed your new addiction with more games for the system.
