Description

The Mushroom Kingdom has been invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles who possess dark magic. Their king Bowser has transformed all its inhabitants into stones, bricks, and mushrooms; he has also captured Princess Toadstool. She is the only one who can break the evil spell. Imprisoned in a castle deep in Bowser's new found kingdom, Mario, a humble plumber, hears of the tragedy and sets out to free her.

Run, jump, and throw fireballs to defeat the evil Bowser and his minions.

The game features the original 1985 game, a challenge mode, and versus game option. Also included are records, an album, and a toy box.

Trivia

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is actually a combination of two games: the original SMB game and the Japanese SMB2. Note however, that what the Japanese call Super Mario Bros. 2 is not the same game that we know. The Japanese SMB2 was simply a whole new collection of levels for SMB and featured new little tricks like wind that pushed you backwards in some stages, and even auto-scrolling! As for the U.S. SMB2? That game was based off of another Japanese Famicom game called "Dream Factory Doki! Doki! Panic", which was an Arabian themed game just retooled a bit for Mario and crew.
