HE IS BACK!
this game is simply one of a kind. If you've never played this before, you won't be disappointed. Overall, once you turn on the power switch, you won't want to turn it off until you play the game to death.

NES
Sorry, Sonic. Mario got here first
Super Mario Bros. came bundled with the Nintendo Entertainment System. Apart from just running left to right in each level, you have the opportunity to play however you like, by taking short-cuts through the game. The graphics and sound is great, with the graphics crisp and the music easy to remember. It is amusing to watch as you defeat various versions of Bowser and the Mushroom Man telling you that you have entered the wrong castle. So in conclusion, it is the game that NES owners should play, as it spawned a great series.

Number 1 reason to visit friends
I doubt there are many gamers who've never player Super Mario Bros. or one of its sequels, so there is not much left to say.

Friday 18 October 1985: the Messiah of the console industry is born!
Behold, this is the game that pulled the console video game industry out of life support in 1985 and eventually make an impressive recovery. No other game since the early Atari ones has made an enormous impact as this one!

Behold…the game that saved an industry!
If Super Mario Bros. had not been made, would another game have come along to save the home video game industry? Probably. Still, SMB is the game that actually DID save the industry. It still holds up well today, and so it deserves all of the accolades it gets—and more.

The Best
Super Mario Bros. marks a turn in the history of video games. Setting a new standard for video games, Super Mario Bros. ushered in an era of games with smooth game play, fast and quick challenges, and simple controls, that combines to create an amazingly rich and detailed experience. What is essentially the greatest game of all time, Super Mario Bros. remains playable even to this very date. You are not a gamer until you have played the phenomenon that is Super Mario Bros..

A great 2-D platformer game
Even though it;s the mother of all Mario games I wouldn't get it. It was a good game when it came out, but nothing compared to Super Mario World or Super Mario Bros. 3. However, I would suggest getting Super Mario All-Stars for SNES because that way you get an upgraded version of this game, Super Mario Bros. 2 and 3 and Super Mario the lost levels (which is similar to Super Mario Bros. 1 but with all new levels never before seen). For my rating I'm going to give this game a good rank since its probably the best game of it's time (mid-late 80's) but compared to even the games for SNES it's not very high quality.

Really good game.
Its good fun to play with friends or alone to bring back the good memories. This game changed gaming after E.T. for Atari almost killed it. I end this review with a tribute the lovable song of the first level, second, and boss levels and hum them aloud to salute Super Mario Bros.

Your princess is in another castle
Chances are, if you started playing videogames in the late 1980s, you've played "Super Mario Bros." In that case, I don't need to convince you how good it is.

One of the greatest games of all time!
Super Mario Bros. is the game that started it all, one game to rule them all, one of the greatest games ever, the top dog, the lead man, the best, the head bull, the alpha-male, and all of those other stupid names. It's a great game where you play Mario and have to rescue the princess from sure doom. It's one of the most original games and overall, it's awesome. Three thumbs up and Six stars!

The first jump heard around the world.
Mario must go in search of the Princess. To do so, you will control Mario as he jumps Goombas and Turtles, while upgrading himself with mushroom and flowers. You can also collect coins to win extra lives to continue the game.

THE video game that defines the video game experience of people my age.
I think it is beyond my capacity to describe this game to people who haven't played it thousands of times - for it has had such an impact upon the very nature of my being, I have difficult theorizing what it must be like to have been introduced to video games in different circumstances.

Surprisingly addictive, yet not without its flaws.
Definitely the same stallion it was years ago, and it's very clear why it spawned this seemingly unstoppable franchise. However, it must be said that it doesn't really offer a lot of variety through its eight worlds, in its levels. It delivers on the enemy front, with a new enemy in almost every world. But the levels start to really grain on you after a while. It's a great romp down memory lane, and a great reminded that complex gameplay isn't really that necessary.

Hmmmm.... Mushrooms!!
Just a little game that spawned an entire genre, cemented the most well-known videogame mascot ever, and sold billions of copies worldwide. A pretty good achievement for a company that used to make cards and a game based on the acid trips of a couple of plumbers stoned out of their minds.

the great-grandfather of all platform games, and still a blast to play today
A simple to control platform game that remains entertaining today, and served as the predecessor to a certain high speed hedgehog, tie-wearing ape, and countless others.
