This is basically a remake of Super Mario Bros, but it is a very amazing one that adds graphics and good sound.
Most or all of the level designs are the same, it's just now it has 10x more graphics power. It is still the same as before, you go down the flag pole to finish the level. There is still a time limit. Mario still has lives. Mario still dies. It is simply everything Super Mario Bros but with some added flavor.
There are a few new items. One of them you've probably seen on a commercial a couple years ago, the Mega . What happens is when Mario gets one of these, he becomes collosal for a limited time. The more damage he causes, the more one up s you'll get afterwords, max of 5.
Another new item item is a blue shell. What this does is it makes Mario have a shell on him. Now if he runs long enough, he will act like a koopa shell and start spinning around and hurt any enemies in his way. Also new is a mini that turns Mario in Mini Mario. What this does is it makes him smaller. Now he can run faster, but he is also more vulnerable to enemies. One hit and he's . Plus to act like you jumped on an enemie and , you have to ground pound on them. Of course you can just get a or fire flower to turn back to normal.
You can also hold one item in this game. It can be a spare , fire flower, mini , shell, or a mega .
There are many other things to this game that I don't want to spoil, so I'll just move on. There are some minigames available to play, I'd say around 15. But there are some more also, but you have to be in multiplayer to do that. Speaking of multiplayer, there are some great features packed in here.
There is Mario vs. Luigi, where you try to collect more stars and whoever reaches a certain amount first wins, and they have to win a certain numer of times. There is also the same thing for minigames, up to four. During this, you can play minigames that you couldn't play by yourself. The neat thing, you only need one game for multiplayer!
All this game is is a remake of Super Mario Bros plus some new stuff, but it is a fantastic remake that adds graphics, sound, and more to a game thats been around for maybe a decade. If you are a Mario fan, this is the game for you. Even if you aren't though, you should still give it a try.
