Greatest 2D Platformer of all time?With newer Super Mario titles such as the excellent Super Mario 3D World and the masterful Super Mario Galaxy series, I’ve noticed that the true challenge arises when attempting to collect every last power star and comet coin, encompassing an optional increase in difficulty for those who yearn for it. 3 is a bona fide classic that’s worth experiencing over and over again. 3 is a timeless, golden piece of software that truly shows that Nintendo are the unparalleled kings of video game design, and whether you’re embarking on a nostalgic trip down memory lane or experiencing its innovations for the first time, Super Mario Bros. The level design is also immaculate, where every platform, power-up, and enemy is masterfully placed and is effortlessly entwined with the responsive controls. Its true brilliance is craftily hidden within its intricacy and difficulty despite its vibrant colour palette, the game can be downright unforgiving, in a manner that seems to be a rarity in the Super Mario series.
Yes many elements of Mario 3 may seem trivial or primitive in comparison to the current standards of gaming, but seeing how its first innovative steps have evolved so immensely is nothing short of amazing. 3 crafted a legacy of its own and pioneered many conventions that have become staples of modern game design. 3 is delightfully challenging, imaginative, and an excellent illustration of stellar game design. There’s also lots of funny little Easter eggs, like Yoshis appearing in the background and Mario running around.Commonly referred to as the greatest 2D platformer of all time, Super Mario Bros. changes colour depending on the time of day. Except here it’s not LCD and the background to Super Mario Bros. We especially like that one of the four listed features, apart from the three games, is a digital clock – which would’ve been a braggable feature in the 80s.
Playing it on a tiny 2.5” screen brings no new insight to the game, and even with the simplistic graphics of the NES you still end up squinting a bit too uncomfortably to make everything out, but it’s a neat little tribute and a perfect Christmas present for anyone that remembers things from the first time round. being re-released again and again for as long people still enjoy jumping on the heads of evil walking mushrooms. As modern games become passé after just a few months you can guarantee that only the next ice age will stop Super Mario Bros. Even the box is fill with Easter eggs (pic: Nintendo)Īt this point in time it’s hard to find anything new to say about Super Mario Bros., except to marvel that despite it being so old it’s still as replayable as ever.
