If you've played any other mario and you still like this one then you're a psychopath

If I could give this a 0 I would

1 star because other games built upon this game that started the franchise and is the most historically important platformer? Genius!

with all due respect, i beg to differ. super mario bros. is not only one of my favorite mario games, but one of my favorite platformers, and one of my favorite games of all time.

it may have aged in a way that most other mario games never will, sure. but its minimalism, its ability to pare down the side-scrolling platformer to its very essence and to yet craft such masterful design out of it appeals to me far more than the gimmick-filled levels of the newer 2d mario games.

I feel like anyone who gives Super Mario Bros. 1 star needs to go back and play like, Friday the 13th for NES, or Bubsy 3d, or just about any movie tie-in game from the ps2 era, to gain some perspective.

this review inspired me to go back and replay the game - it's been at least a month. thanks!
a warpless playthrough of this game is still a really good time. it's amazing just how much this game excels in in mechanical conveyance for 1985 standards, and how there's a very subtle risk versus reward mentality behind the powered up states that in my opinion are very rarely explored again in the series.
if you don't believe me, try doing a small fire mario run! how the risks and rewards are inverted makes you realize that being small sometimes has its advantages.

did you know that you can kick a koopa shell into a bullet bill in 5-3 to defeat it, but the reappearing ones shot from bill blasters are immune to it? it's a bit of clever design on their part to make sure that people can't grind for extra lives in moments like 8-2.
