I am pretty sure the whole time I am writing this Super Mario Bros review I will have a big goofy smile on my face. I first played the original Mario game back in the 80s on my uncle's NES. That Christmas I knew what I wanted Santa to bring me and I was not disappointed. This is a game I (and most probably everyone reading this) know very well. I decided to play through it again for this review to see just how well it holds up.
Where The Heck Is The Princess?
Mario Multiverse Wiki is a FANDOM Games Community. View Mobile Site. 7/10 (527 votes) - Download Mario Forever Free. Mario Forever is a computer version of the popular and classic Super Mario Bros 3 video game with improved graphics and quite a few extra contents. Mario Multiverse is a fanmade Super Mario Bros. Level maker a lot like Super Mario Maker. It's currently in a closed beta (sorry no download link), but I will update you all when a public version releases! Super Mario Multiverse Download is a 3D platform game for Nintendo Switch co-operated with AlphaDream and Intelligent Systems released in the summer of 2019. The game consists of a meeting between Mario and his counterparts from the Mario & Luigi RPG series, the Paper Mario series and Mini Mario, and save their Princess Peaches.
No one is going to accuse the original or actually any of the Super Mario Bros games of being deep when it comes to the story. You are playing as Super Mario and you need to save the Princess and put a stop to King Koopa from causing trouble in the Mushroom Kingdom. The fact of the matter is, you do not care about the story in a Mario game, but at the same time, you always want to put King Koopa in his place.
Where It All Began
It is crazy that we are not all that far off from this game being 40 years old as I write this. I say that because the original Super Mario Bros has aged like a fine wine. Yes, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and the various New Super Mario Bros games have taken this formula and improved on it in every way you could imagine. The fact of the matter is, Super Mario Bros is still a joy to play.
What I think this game does very, very well is make it so that pretty much any gamer, no matter their skill level can get through the first world. After this, the game ramps up the difficulty and requires a great deal of skill to get to the end. Even the final castle level which has to be completed in a specific way was a big deal back when this game was first released.
Classic
Many games like to think they are classic, but I do not think you get much more classic than Super Mario Bros. The visuals are very primitive, but man there is so much personality here. The easiest way to prove this is the sheer amount of merchandise that is in game stores, supermarkets and so on that is all based on the original Mario Bros design. This shows just how timeless this version of Mario really is. It is not just people in their 30s and 40s, but kids as well have a real love for this original look of Mario.
I would not say that the original Super Mario Bros is my favorite Mario game. However, this still holds up and it is a fun game to play. This is one of those games that I personally feel every gamer needs to have played. It is a fun experience and one that is far more challenging than many people realize.
Final Score: 9/10
Pros:
- The Mario theme never gets old
- Classic Mario has tons of charm
