Having played this game a couple of months ago, finally going through all of the game's levels for the first time (I always used Warps before), it's nice to experience the entirety of this classic game.

It's no secret to everybody reading this review that Super Mario Bros. is one of the most iconic games of all time, with very recognizable graphics, music and its very fun gameplay.

When looking at a lot of other NES games, even some of the other popular ones, I'm surprised at how well this one has aged, in terms of controls and overall difficulty!

For a game released in 1985, I'm surprised that the game is not as overly difficult as a lot of other games that were released in the 80's, and even some in the 90's.
The only thing I didn't like was the big difficulty spike that suddenly appeared in World 8, but besides that, it's relatively smooth-sailing.

There's not much to this game that I can add that others haven't added. The controls are nice; the graphics, while simple, have their charm; and the music, while limiting, is well composed and catchy.

Super Mario Bros. is a classic in videogames, and without it, many other games wouldn't have existed.
