Super Mario Bros.

elyk247's Super Mario Bros. (Nintendo Entertainment System) review

MacDaddy of Video Gaming

Super Mario Brothers is a classic, without a doubt. The game is superb and justifies the prestige and pedigree to which Mario games are recognized for. If you have five dollars, spend it. You won't regret it.

Mario's gameplay is finite and solid. Jumps made are precise, and just feel good. Many platformers have copied Mario's style, but they just can't compete. There's a fluidity to the jumping, and a feeling that cannot be mimicked or copied.

Artistically, the colors are saturated, but the game still is jubilant and vibrant. Even in the castle levels the game elicits feelings of wonder, albeit at the purpose to get a 6-year old to soil his Spiderman undies.

The music is more recognized than the works of Mozart and Bach. (Contemporary tastes, at least) The little ditties burst through in a splendor of tunes and tones that are just plain fun.

Finally, the game is a benchmark of video games. Without Mario and his crazy escapades in the Mushroom Kingdom, our beloved video game world would be undeniably different.

There is not a single bad thing to say about Super Mario Bros. There aren't many new good things to say about it, either, since literally everyone (and also their mother) has played the game over the years, and loved it. You don't have to try to explain why SMB is so brilliant; it just is. And everybody knows it already!But... seriously, just why is Super Mario Bros. so good?The answer lies in its design.There's not a single line of code in Super Mario Bros. that is misplaced. It's all wired dow...
