DESCRIPTION

Super Mario All-Stars is an enhanced compilation of three best-selling NES games on one 16-megabit cartridge: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3. All titles feature updated backgrounds, character art, and music, with the added benefit of battery-backed memory for saving progress. The gameplay and level design are otherwise identical to the 8-bit originals. This collection is also notable for including Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, a sequel to the original Super Mario Bros. that was previously unreleased in the United States. The Lost Levels, known as Super Mario Bros. 2 in Japan, has the same gameplay as its groundbreaking predecessor, but with a new, more challenging layouts. ~ Scott Alan Marriott, All Game Guide

“Only played the first game, Mario Bros., for a little while. Totally forgot how difficult this game can sometimes get. Might be because it's been some time since I played a traditional Jump'n Run....”

“A great compilation of all the Mario classics. We even get to play the "Lost Levels" that wasn't released in the US, because they thought it would be too hard for Americans. (It was a hard game to be honest, but I don't think they should...”

“My thoughts as to why Lost Levels wasn't released was because it was more or less the same game as SMB1, just with new levels. I mean thanks to game mods and ROM edits that came in later years, I can honestly see much of what is in Lost Levels being able to be done with some simple modifications to a few things in SMB.

I thought the whole idea Nintendo had was: "wait a second, this game is too much like our last one"

Keep in mind, it was made shortly after the crash of 1983, and a lot of the games before that were just remixes of others. Nintendo had to really do a lot of damage control with the NES.”
