Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (GB) Reviews

This game is an update of the 1985 Super Mario Bros for the NES and was released in Europe in August 2001, which was a year and two months after the American release! It's basically the same as the original but with a few differences such as less levels, and there's also a challenge mode which allows you to go through the original levels to find ...  Read the complete review

First off I’ll make an admission; I’ve never been a big fun of the Mario Bros games. Very occasionally there comes along a platform game that grabs my attention, but none of the Mario Bros games ever have. (Neither did Sonic, btw – Rainbow Islands and The New Zealand Story are the only 2 that immediately spring to mind that I liked.) There reason ...  Read the complete review

I received my first games console at the age of 7, the NES, and with it came Super Mario Bros. Unlike the games of today that only hold your interest for a few weeks, this one kept me going for over a year. So, you can imagine my excitement when I saw that it was being re-released for the GBC. This deluxe edition contains the original ...  Read the complete review

Hmmm, Super Mario Brothers? Deluxe? What? Isn't that that stupid 1985 game created by Shigeru Miyamoto that was released for the Famicom (A Japanese NES)? Wow, it's that game that started it all, that damn game that got me to lose my entire social life during the early 90's. To be honest, I should burn this "deluxe" cart and ...  Read the complete review

This game was released on the NES back in 1985, and fifteen years later it has been re-released. As well as a hundred or more levels, several new features have been added such as a game involving finding hidden coins, a high score game, etc. These aren't as good as the main game which despite it's age plays very well, whether or not you ...  Read the complete review

Mario Brothers DX is another fine DX remake from Nintendo, even better than the Zelda remake (I'm only talking about the extras, not the actual games). Not only is there the pixel-perfect original Mario game available, but they've thrown in a load of other features as well. The original was a classic, and it plays just as well on ...  Read the complete review

You may be wondering if the little handheld has what it takes to do justice to such a magnificent game. The simple answer is YES. This must be one of the finest games ever made and despite it being over 10 years old it is just as playable as it was the first time on the NES if not more. The graphics on the GBC version are identical to the ...  Read the complete review

This classic game has gone under some major changes. The graphics have been improved and with the added colour it makes you feel like your playing on the SNES. Nintendo have done well to transform this game from the old black and white screen to the many colours now available. Anybody who has a Colour GameBoy I would recommend this game and you ...  Read the complete review

I was very impressed when I first played this game.There are 4 modes!(main game,challenge,race boo and multiplayer)The lasting challenge is amazing and(I got it in december last year)I still haven't got to the end.This is a great game extracted from the NES. One of the really cool things is the game has a photo album which takes pictures of ...  Read the complete review

This is a perfect conversion of the all time classic platformer. I played this game on the NES - A LOT - and recently got it for the GBC. I was very very impressed at how they'd got it into the little handheld. It's a perfect conversion, with little extras like a gallery you complete by achieving certain things within the game (defeating ...  Read the complete review
