Super Mario Bros.

Get the game at Amazon.com!

Reviewed by Noah Detweiler About four years ago, when the original Nintendo was still popular, I used to go over to my friend Justin Owades' house to play with his Nintendo system. There was one game that I was crazy about. That was Super Mario Bros. I always liked climbing those beanstalks, going into those pipes, and jumping onto those flagpoles. Even though now Nintendo has come out with ultra-3d Mario games, the original Super Mario Bros. is and will always be my all-time favorite game.

Graphics 3 out of 10

The graphics in this game are not very good, obviously because it was made for the original Nintendo. My favorite graphics in this game are the fireworks after completing a level, and when Mario gets bigger by eating a mushroom. The only graphic that really looks weird is Bowser. He looks nothing like the Bowser in other Mario games. That would make sense, though, because this is the first Mario game that Bowser was ever in.

Music and Sound 5 out of 10

Music quality is an important factor, but it can also be judged by the tunes. One tune that I think is very catchy is the one in levels 1-2 and 4-2. The percussion, in my opinion, is very nice. The 8-bit sound isn't too impressive, but I always like hearing the sound of Mario jumping.

Game Play-Fun 10 out of 10

Although this game is very primitive, it is very fun. Players will realize this the second that they see Bowser, and the excitement will build up as they work on the final levels of the game. There's always something different to discover - a beanstalk, a bonus level, Minus World, or something else.

Frustration

Yes, you do feel very frustrated when you are sent back to the first level from the very last segment of the game. But if you keep practicing, it gets easier and easier to beat levels and you will do better. Unless you are in a level where it is important to move very quickly, it is usually a good idea to move slowly through the levels and to make sure you are prepared for whatever could come next, even if you have passed the level before.

Replayability 5 out of 10

It is fun to explore in this game. That is one of the reasons why it is fun to replay this game. Since there are different warp zones, sometimes it is exciting to see how you do one the worlds in between the levels that you did first.

Game Value 10 out of 10

You can buy this game used for 29 cents! With that in mind, I think anybody would say that this game is defiantly worth the price. This game is also very exciting and interesting. It is also something interesting to do with friends when they come over.

Overall 10 out of 10

As one can see from this review, Super Mario Bros. is really a great game, since the year it came out, 1987. It is my favorite game of all-time, and I'm sure that it's the same with many other kids.
