Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for Game Boy Color

Pros: It's Mario... (for fans)
Cons: It's Mario... (for non-fans)

First off I’ll make an admission; I’ve never been a big fun of the Mario Bros games. Very occasionally there comes along a platform game that grabs my attention, but none of the Mario Bros games ever have. (Neither did Sonic, btw – ...

Pros: One of the best games ever, portable!
Cons: Big old style GB cartridge.

In keeping with my theme of the day, old games, I thought I'd do a little something special for the ...

Pros: the original and lost levels all in one game pack
Cons: switching the screen can be a real hassel.

Swing your arms from side to side.. aw forget it.

History of the game
Super Mario bros. is what shot the Mario bros. to super star status, Mario was already a big star in the arcades, but this game made him a house hold name. Super Mario...

Pros: Why have a rubbish clone when you can have the real thing?
Cons: How about a new Mario platformer next time?

Another new Nintendo console, another new Mario title to help sell it. Although in Super Mario Deluxe's case that statement isn't completely correct. For you need to pay special attention to the "deluxe" part of the title. This Mario is more of a...

Pros: Excellent port, 2nd hard level, Challenge game, VS game, Lost Levels game, Racing the Computer game, Photo album, lots of GB printer support
Cons: Small GB screen means there is a tiny bit of up/down scrolling, if you don't have a GB printer, you can't use a few of the features

Bursting with lots of great features, Super Mario Deluxe (SMBD) is more than anyone could ask for. It looks like a simple port of Super Mario from the NES, but it's much more than that. Also, SMBD makes great use of Game Boy Color's color.

Pros: Original game play is preserved and cleaned up, new options
Cons: It is still the weakest Mario game out there, no Minus World

Oh, I know every video game player knows which one I'm talking about in the title. No, not 'Pac-Man Fever,' 'Celes/Maria,' or even 'Almost Unreal,' the Roxette song from the utterly forgettable Super Mario Bros. movie. No, I'm referring to the main...

Pros: Completely amazing action adventure and a whole lot more! Gameboy Color has broken the limits!
Cons: You'll play till you drop!

The Mario Brothers are at it again! There are many reasons why this game was a great buy over almost ever other game out there.

Have you ever played the original mario brothers? That was the best out there, and so its no surprise that such a...

Pros: A great, classic Nintendo game, still entertaining after all these years. A great nostalgic experience!
Cons: Younger gamers who were born after the 8-bit revolution might not see what the fuss is all about.

It's a testament to Nintendo's greatness that in the age of cinematic 3D experiences with full orchestral scores, an unassuming side-scroller about a roly-poly plumber lost in a world of giant mushrooms can still be great entertainment. Indeed, fifteen...

Pros: Challenging, fun, addictive, tons of bonuses
Cons: None

This game needs no introduction. I remember first playing this game on the original NES system when I was just a little kid. I loved it. Everything about it. When Nintendo released this game, it was a breakthrough for video games. It was really the...

Pros: All the classic feature
Cons: Not much

As a child of the 80s who grew up playing on the good old eight bit Nintendo Entertainment system, I had to purchase this game. I had to, because this is the game that saved video games in the mid eighties. Without this game, there would be no...

Pros: Fantastic gameplay, very complete.
Cons: Main game is the same as 1985 original.

The thing that surprised me most about Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is the fact that it is not merely a conversion of the classic NES game. Like Super Mario Bros. All Stars on the SNES, (which contained Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3...

Pros: Great update of the old Nintendo game, Lots of new features
Cons: None

I loved playing the original Super Mario Brothers on the regular Nintendo. Now Nintendo has rereleased the classic game with tons of new features and updates.

Super Mario Brothers DX brings back the entire original game, plus a lot more. The...

Pros: 2+1/2 games in one + high score mode + vs. mode + picture album
Cons: frustrating sometimes

Before I go on a long car vacation with my family, I always buy a gameboy game to keep me entertained. I usually buy the highest rated game on ZDNet, and Super Mario Bros. DX had a whopping 10.0/10.0! When I bought Super Mario Bros. DX I was...

Pros: This is one quality game, The original Mario plus extra levels = awesome
Cons: you can't see the whole picture on your tiny game boy screen

Remember when you played Super Mario Bros. on your old Nintendo Entertainment System? If you do then you'll be right at home playing this game. If you have a Gameboy color then go out and buy this game right away!

This game has all the...

Pros: True to original. Fun for long car rides.
Cons: Not much depth.
