originals are always the best. but there is nothing wrong with the ports and remakes. I have both Wii SM allstars, SNES Mario Allstars and over 40 VC games, including every mario, zelda, metroid on all systems.
The graphics in the All-Stars versions are better, no doubt, you'd be in denial to say otherwise. You also get save files which is cool. So All-Stars is defintely an improvement. And other than the save files and graphics upgrades, they left the games alone, they still play exactly the same.
But the nostalgia attached to the original NES versions wins it for me. I grew up on NES and became a lifelong gamer because of the NES. So I prefer the originals.
NES versions by far. The SNES versions may be technically better but they're worse aesthetically imo. Also Lost Levels is tonned-down on the difficulty compared to the Famicom Disk SMB.2.
Actually, I prefer the NES versions, too. It's a good console and the original versions are special. I said SNES because that console has a huge library of great games.
I like Super mario 1 and 3 on the NES. SNES All stars is great but it a different way. I bought All Stars when it was the second pack-in game along with Super Mario World.
Also Lost Levels is tonned-down on the difficulty compared to the Famicom Disk SMB.2.

I did not know that, couldn't tell from I played of the import on VC. Except for mushrooms and poison mushrooms looking more similar, instead of poison mushrooms being purple on All-Stars and standing out immeadiately
I prefer the NES versions as that's what I played first. That said, it wasn't until I went through the All-Stars version of SMB 3 that I actually beat it.
I like having them all on 1 cart, and my SNES isn't glitchy like my NES, but I never liked the enhanced graphics on the NES games. I prefer to play the originals.
I LOVE Super Mario All-Stars (it's my favorite game), but I have to go with original NES versions just for the fact they represent my first experience with the Super Mario Bros. series and nostalgia.
