So, let’s break it down a bit. The remakes are where this collection really shines. The original Mario games had that classic 8-bit charm, but All-Stars amps everything up to 16-bit glory. The colors are richer, the animations are smoother, and the music has been remade too. You know how Super Mario Bros. 3 had that airship theme? In All-Stars, it feels like you’re cruising through the clouds with an orchestra behind you!
Now, The Lost Levels is a big deal, originally released only in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 2, it’s infamous for its difficulty; but at least for me, it wasn't that hard. Anyway, it’s a great addition for those who want to test their skills.
Super Mario World is where things start to feel a bit more modern. Riding around on your dinosaur buddy adds a whole new layer of fun to the platforming. Plus, the secret exits and hidden levels give you a reason to explore every map, making it feel less linear.
If I had to nitpick, I'd say that going back to the originals after playing All-Stars can feel a little rough. But honestly, that’s a minor complaint in the grand scheme of things. So, in terms of overall experience, Super Mario All-Stars is a total gem.
If you’ve been following me, you know I like to add some romhacks that don’t alter the vanilla experience too much. For example, there's the SMA2 Luigi's sprite swap patch, the original Luigi sprites in Super Mario All-Stars are kinda rough, he may look awkward depending on the eye of the beholder. This mod replaces him with the much better-looking sprites from Super Mario Advance 2.
Then there’s the title screen mod, which brings back the classic color scheme from the original release. Plus, removes the “SUPER MARIO WORLD” subtitle. It’s a small touch, but it makes the whole experience feel more authentic. These mods don’t just enhance the visuals, they revive that cherished feeling of the original games while keeping the core gameplay intact.
