Super Mario Bros Review

Published by Nintendo 1985 for the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System)

Not only did this game define platform gaming as we know it, but few games have ever surpassed Super Marie Bros in terms of fun and addictiveness. The game's imaginative levels, tight control, and sheer variety are simply amazing for a 1985 release. Its familiar music and bright, inviting graphics are permanently etched into so many childhood memories.

Mario can bash blocks, dash, swim, pounce on enemies, and kick turtle shells into groups of oncoming foes. With the help of power-ups, he can double in size, hurl fireballs, or gain temporary invincibility. These power-ups are crucial to your survival in this game.

There's ample room for technique and numerous secrets to discover. Coins are found all over the place, and collecting 100 earns you a extra life. Each world consists of four stages, the last concluding with an encounter with Mario's dragon arch-nemesis, Bowser.

You can't save your in game progress, but this is partially remedied by secret warp areas that allow you to skip ahead to advanced stages. In addition, you can continue by holding the A button when you restart a game. In addition to seeing how far you can get, the game is also fun to play for high score.

If you haven't played this brilliant game in a while, you owe it to yourself to see how super Mario bros has withstood the test of time like few others can.

Since this game game me so much entertainment and frustration for hours (truthfully days). Was first time playing this game, I had played the sequels but never this game. I had to play it on an emulator but since playing this fantastic game I am seriously considering purchasing the NES to enjoy this game with the classic and memorial console controller.
I will give this game 5 smiley faces out of 5 for the amount of enjoyment I had playing this.
If you wish to either enjoy this game for the first time or revisit it you can get it here or here.
