Super Mario Bros / A classic !

Who doesn't know Mario ? This games is the foundation of the Mario franchise. After a short appearance in the Donkey Kong games, Mario got his own game. Together with his brother Luigi, he has to save the Princess from the evil Bowser. The game is a scrolling platform game and contains 8 worlds and each world has 4 levels. You get to deal with several enemies such as goombas an koopa. You can either stomp them or kill them with a fireball. At the end of every world you have to fight "King Koopa" (who, until the final level, is actually a lesser enemy disguised as King Koopa). At the end of each world save the last, Mario is greeted with the words, "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" Do I hate those words !!! Overall a very good game. I gave it a 4 because it's successor Super Mario Bros 3 has raised the standard for NES games in means of graphics. And Super Mario Bros hasn't got the great graphics of Super Mario Bros 3. But they both have great gameplay ! Still a must have in any NES collection or just for a drive down memory lane.Read full review
