This game is overrated. You can't scroll the screen left; you have to hold a button to run, making jumps awkward; and there are only a few songs.

No one else reply to this thread until it falls off the board or the OP has to humiliate himself by bumping his failed attempt.

if you think SMB is deficient, you've clearly not played enough NES/FC games especially the early stuff from that 1985 period. A lot of that stuff was horrible jank with bad controls and stiff as fuck physics.

Despite these limitations it's better than 90% of its games including most of its successors really makes you think. It's almost as if limitations are not correlated to enjoyment

>> No.10657624

It is overrated, though not for the reasons you're describing. It's actually the lack of challenge, the lack of variety, and the lack of interesting mechanics or gameplay. It attempts to have momentum, but the momentum feels terrible, and you continually battle the controls. Platformers didn't really hit their stride until Sonic introduced interesting momentum-based and physics-based gameplay.

Well I'm over here having fun, and you're over there getting so angry over a 40 year old game you don't have to play that you can barely string a sentence together.

Obviously it's not some masterpiece, but it's still a solid game even by today's standards, which for the time is rather impressive.

It's definitely a masterpiece. People take it for granted now but one of the most important contributions Super Mario Bros. made to gaming at large is the game's physics. It wasn't the first platformer but compare Pitfall! to Super Mario Bros. Or even Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. to Super Mario Bros. The way Mario handles completely changed the way players expected games to control. Think of how long it took for games to figure out proper hitstun, which SMB did perfectly.

Play the arcade version. NES version controls like crap because of the low framerate.
