![]() Passing level by level, increasing your skills, finally you and Mario will win a victory over all your enemies, save Princess Peach and build mushroom Kingdom anew.I am pretty sure the whole time I am writing this Super Mario Bros review I will have a big goofy smile on my face. I first played the original Mario game back in the 80s on my uncle's NES. That Christmas I knew what I wanted Santa to bring me and I was not disappointed. This is a game I (and most probably everyone reading this) know very well. I decided to play through it again for this review to see just how well it holds up. No one is going to accuse the original or actually any of the Super Mario Bros games of being deep when it comes to the story. You are playing as Super Mario and you need to save the Princess and put a stop to King Koopa from causing trouble in the Mushroom Kingdom. The fact of the matter is, you do not care about the story in a Mario game, but at the same time, you always want to put King Koopa in his place. It is crazy that we are not all that far off from this game being 40 years old as I write this. I say that because the original Super Mario Bros has aged like a fine wine. Yes, Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and the various New Super Mario Bros games have taken this formula and improved on it in every way you could imagine. The fact of the matter is, Super Mario Bros is still a joy to play. What I think this game does very, very well is make it so that pretty much any gamer, no matter their skill level can get through the first world. ![]() After this, the game ramps up the difficulty and requires a great deal of skill to get to the end. Even the final castle level which has to be completed in a specific way was a big deal back when this game was first released. Many games like to think they are classic, but I do not think you get much more classic than Super Mario Bros.
