One of the BEST combos and -1 World sucks....
First in the game depending which you are in the mood to play there is Super Mario Bros. and Duck hunt. I will do the Mario part first. Everyone who has ever played a game knows the story of Mario because of his girlfriend,Peach,always being kidnapped by Bowser or some other crazy person or thing. Super Mario Bros. has the same story as some of the other games but it was the first one so it makes it one of the best Mario games ever released. In game play you use the controls to jump up stairs,on enemies,and on to flagpoles for extra points. Mario and Luigi(only avaiable in 2 player) control the same but that is a good thing since Mario plays great. The enemies have about the same movement but some will chase you. Some of the later enemies and the boss Bowser have better A.I. and will make the game much harder. The game does have a few glitches like the Mario Slide and -1 World(which is a pain) but overall the MArio part of this two set is great. The Duckhunt part of the game is great because of the simple gameplay which has you as a hunter who hunts duck(duh). This game is great because of the light good which is one of teh best add ons to a system ever. You shoot the ducks and move to more levels of course if you miss you get the annoy dog which laughs at you. The dog will tick you off after a while but you will get used to it. Overall this combo set plays amazing and is one of the best games gameplay wise on the NES.
The graphics in Super Mario Bros. is 8-bit like every game from the NES erea. But this game does 8-bit good,so does Duck Hunt. The levsl in Super Mario Bros. look good and are colorful for the most part so you won't get bored for the two or three minutes your in a level. The enemies look great and the destruction of them looks good because some just vanish while other just flaten. The bosses look cool but look to much like each other though. The friendly characters such as Toad,Luigi,Peach and Mario look great and I would not change anything in this part of the combo game. The Duckhunt part could have been improved alittle bit though. Yes the games duck look good but I wish there was a little vary in them though. The backgrounds could have changed alittle more any way so this part isn't the best graphics wise but still looks decent.
The background music in Super mario Bros. changes from level to level and sounds great each time. When you make contact with an item it sound how you would think it would sound. The enemeis do make some noise but it could have been added different noises for them to make it alittle better. The Duck Hunt game finally has apart which is better than the Mario part of the game. With the noise of the shoots in the game from your light gun and the fact that the duck is making noise most of the time pluse the level start music makes this game better in sound than Mario but I wish they would have done something about the Dogs laugh,just creepy ok.
Alot of people don't have there NES anymore or never even got one but if you haven't played it go to ebay and buy a NES and the game. It won't cost to much. This is a great game that all people need to have at least played before. Remember get your light guns ready and always remember to keep playing since your princess is in another castle(ok that sounded better in my head).
