I can see why they would call it "All Stars"
Every single game in this compilation shines so bright.

It’s "The Complete Super Mario Bros. 5 in 1 Game Pak"

Zoomer. We always called them nintendo tubes back in the day.

[Anonymous No.6762650]

its actually "Super Mario Collection", dumb westerns need fancy names like "mario madness" or "all star" to sell games.

[Anonymous No.6762660]

>>6762650
Indeed. Can you believe EOPs still call Super Mario USA "Mario Madness"?

We called him "Fortran" back in the '80s, my lil' zooms.

[Anonymous No.6762667]

>>6762636
Yes.

[Anonymons No.6762684]

I was irritated that it didn't contain the original Mario Bros game.

I wrote a letter to Nintendo about that, they were like "that's not a SUPER Mario game lol!"

Fucking bastards

And now we call him Grand Dad. Your point?

[Anonymons No.6762820]

>>6762698
Yeah, they pointed that out in the response letter.

But it's not the same.

[Anonymous No.6762870]

>>6762820

They had a point. But I think you had a better one.

He's still a super guy even if the game's title doesn't have "super" in it. The game should be in the collection.

so does this collection really only get hate because you glide at the bottom of walls instead of bouncing down?

[Anonymous No.6763186]

That goomba's expression alone sums up my thoughts on that filter.

Allstars was not a bad title tho

[Anonymous No.6763387]

>>6763121
It gets hate because people are unwilling to accept that a remake can actually be good. Sure, I agree that SMB1 and Lost levels physics were less than ideal, but the games at their core are still good.

Beautiful post OP

[Anonymous No.6763758]

Original looks pretty minimal and bare, almost like a placeholder ending. I prefer all-stars version. More colorful and captures the joy and excitement of the game.

Zoomer/weeb/shitposter. Ignore that triggered retard.

It never even occurred to me when I was a kid playing Mario 2 that "Mario Madness" might be intended as anything but an arbitrary caption saying something like "this game has a lot of Mario stuff in it". I never took that as a title for the game. I think that maybe you people who push the idea that it was even supposed to be a title are stupid and insane. It could be healthy for you to consider that possibility.

Ideally they would have remade the original scenes in a way that retained the original concept, while also adding a little more character to those simple and sparse images. Although I disagree that the change is important enough to seriously damage the value of the game, I agree with the spirit of that image, which is that something significant was lost.

>>6763778

I'm not sure what the point of this is. They changed the animals, and stuck in some playful but mostly meaningless references to other Mario games. Is that supposed to be bad? Or good? It barely changes anything.

[Anonymons No.6764314]

>>6763213
Nope, that was more than 25 years ago.

Sometimes I wish I saved it, but then I think I would just throw it out now. It wasn't anything special. Typed up response with a Nintendo letterhead.

[Anonymous No.6764331]

Fun fact: This was intended to be a Snes CD game early in development. I wonder if they dug anything else out of the leaked source?

>Using the NES re-release that uses the generic "<blank> Land" for every world.
All-Stars at least kept the proper world names.

the original ones hardly represent the worlds they're in. why is big bertha being shown off for world 4 and why the tanooki suit for world 5? all stars at least shows relevant content

[Anonymous No.6764410]

>>6764394
>why the tanooki suit for world 5?
Because it's just the Raccoon Leaf with an added trick and Raccoon Mario already has (I think) two worlds showing it off already.

[Anonymous No.6764419]

>>6764410
its just weird that you'd make credits with world-specific sprites and then not make those sprites relevant to the worlds
