Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the best games ever and I do mean EVER!
I won't run you history about how Nintendo (Cleaner's factory) came about and started making video game. But I will tell you some cool stuff of how the Japs made this game. The story of Mario (Mario was called "Jumpman" a carpenter in the 1981 arcade game "Donkey Kong", Arakawa decided to rename Jumpman after the landlord of NOA's (Nintendo of America) warehouse in Segali Business Park, Mario Segali. Thus, the name Super Mario was born. In 1983, Mario would title in his own game, Mario Bros. On the input of a colleague who mentioned the character looked more like a plumber than a carpenter, Miyamoto decided to change Mario's profession. Fallowing the Dark crash of the Video Game Industry in '83 and '84, many companies didn't survive do to the american people fed up with home systems that looked like computers and the game system companies suing other game companies for copy rights. The industry wend down low to almost instinct. Nintendo knew they would take a hard risk so they came up with the idea of making a video game system that looked like a VCR and looked good on your TV set. It worked and so the games also were inserted just like a VHS. Now about Super Mario Bros., the game is not just about breaking bricks and stomping on turtle but it was created as a metaphor of being high on drugs. Yes I did said high! As the game was being created in 1984, the designers were kind of high all the time as they made this game and so Mario game represents a world of illusion worlds while being high. When you get high on some drugs what starts to happened? You go crazy! Mario eating a mushroom (magic mushrooms that get you high) you feel like your taller on top of the world. In the game Mario gets taller. Japanese love those magic Mushrooms! When he eats a star (overdose drug) you go crazy and start stumping on everything, breaking things etc. In Mario 3 he takes a leaf and he can fly (Marijuana in real life makes you feel like you can fly). The creators also said that when someone is very high on some strong drug they feel they want to jump of something. You seem those folks that overdose and want to jump a bridge? Mario at the end of every level he has to climb up some stairs and then jump as high as he can to a pole. Now theres pipes everywhere in the game, smoking some real good stuff on a pipe makes you see worlds doesn't it? lol... Its funny how they made Mario take a red flower and starts shooting fire balls. Some how making this game with influence of the real world made this game a hit but the secret signs are hidden in there if you really look. This game by far is one the greatest games ever and so is what kept Nintendo in business for so many years! Just something about how Mario was really based on and how it was created! Its designers being high as they created the game!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Classic!
I love this game! STORY: You are a plumber named mario. You go down a special pipe that leads to another world! you see hostile koopas and walking mushrooms. You can get bigger with magic mushrooms! stomp on the bad guys, and save the princess. NOTE: only the last castle will have the princess. The only thing i do not like in this game is that when you walk forward, some of the background goes away, and then when you try to go back, you can't! (this can be very frustrating if you missed a magic mushroom.) besides that, this...game...is...GREAT!!! By the way, there is a king koopa named bowser guarding the castle. Even though you kill him first, you see him again guarding another castle...........BOO!!............SAYONARA!!



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - GOOD

Everybody should try this game and feel a joy for jumping with Mario. There are eight different levels, which contains four stages. If you are a real power player, you won't need warps at all. Koopa turtles, man-eating flowers and lukitus which flies with clouds are your enemies. Don't jump in canyons and beware lava paths! Grow up with a magic musroom and beat koopas with fire balls. Collect 100 golden coins if you want to get one life more. Attention, Super Mario Bros is not a easy game if you are beginner because there are lot of difficult levels in castles under water and clouds. This game can be cause a little addiction to playing. It takes so long that you beat the final boss whose name is Bowser. Melodies are simple but workable. It is easy to play with Mario because you can control him totally.
Play and enjoy a long trip with Mario1

Many a gamer will without a doubt have played this game! This was the first game I ever played...EVER and let me tell you that this is the game that got me started on being a gamer! The first side-scrolling adventure ever made and it was great.

But if you're not an old-skool gamer or you're just so much more impressed with all the new stuff then you might as well skip this. Let me say that a game shouldn't be judged based on it's age, graphics and sound alone. This game taught me that the importance of a game was it's gameplay and that my friends is what this game is all about.

First let me say this though, there was one moment in this game that made me realize that games are meant to be explored, and you know what that is? That invisible block in the first level! When I first found that invisible block I was in awe because it was in the middle of NO WHERE but just appeared. I actually let that one-up get away the first time. I'd never seen anything like it before in ANYTHING!

Now I know that people complain, "Oh you can't save" and "You only get three lives and when you die you start from the beginning" and "There's a @#$%^&* time limit!" and of course everyone's favorite "These graphics suck" and second favorite "The game is too short". Well, as I said it isn't the age that counts. For it's time these graphics were some of the best the world had ever seen! Also, the ability to save your game wasn't in thought yet (Metroid was one of the first games to even use the "Password" system). You got three lives on just about EVERY game back then and as I said, saving hadn't been thought of. The lentgh? You certainly wouldn't think so now but Super Mario was one of the longest games in the world when it was released! For today's standards the difficulty has gone down (but I'd still say it's easier than the majority of XBOX, PS2 and GCN games) but not by much. The game can still be hard but it's easy to master. In fact this game started a series of Video Game challenges in which people did crazy things like go through the entire game without grabbing a single mushroom on one life WITHOUT warping! I remember doing that as well.

For the ages this game is freakishly awesome. Even those born in my time would know this game pretty well and have fun with it (Some of us were like what...one? two? three? etc.?)

Truly if you're an NES fanatic and an old-skool gamer this is one game you CANNOT be without!
