This was the first Game Boy game I got and now as I shop around for another game it seems as though any game would be going downhill from this. There are 32 levels, but after you've mastered those, there are 32 of the same levels, only harder, because you have to find more things. Even after that there are more levels in an entirely different section. I totally recommend this game!

New Birth for an Old Classic!

This is the second game I got when I bought my color Game Boy, and it should have been the first! I played Super Mario Brothers on the Nintendo when it first came out, and I had no idea that it would be so much fun AGAIN on the color Game Boy. The best feature, and what makes this game such a good value, is the Challenge Mode- once you finish the game, you are able to go back to each level and shoot for a new goal. Not just to get through, but to get a higher score, to get the five red coins, and find the elusive Yoshi egg. That means this is a game you can keep coming back to- it isn't over when you beat the last boss! A must have for anyone looking for a little gaming nostalgia, as well as a great game for anyone who didn't get a chance to play Super Mario Brothers the first time!

Best game ever!

This game is awsome! It starts out easy but then it gets harder,and harder,and harder! In the game you can go to a challnge mode where you try to find special red coin and yosie's hidden egg.You can also race agasit boo in a different mode.If you have a link cable you can race agasit a friend .The bad thing about the game is the graphic aren't very good.This games is alot of fun and you should buy it.

This game is so much fun!

This game is a great deal of fun. There are so many modes you can play. Racing boo, racing friends, original, and Luigi Levels. Oops I almost forgot to tell you about the Challenge course. This game is truly worth your money.

One of the best games ever...

This is one of the best ever games for gameboy color. It has pretty good graphics for gameboy color, and is a nice challenge. It has eight worlds, and four levels in each world. The game also contains a calendar, "fortune cards", a picture album, and print out banners if you have a gameboy printer. I wouldn't suggest this game for kids under 6,unless they're pretty good with video games. Over all, it's a awesome game.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe - A True Classic

Super Mario Deluxe was my first Gameboy game ever. It was my first video game ever. It was my best video game ever. Even after buying 16 other Gameboy Color and Advance Games, this is still one of my favorites.
I know what you are thinking: This is a Gameboy Color game! It must have horrible graphics and ridiculously simple gameplay. Well, you are wrong. Yes, it is a Gameboy Color game. Yes, I bought it 2000. But, it is a great game. The graphics are blocky (What do you expect from a Gameboy Color game?) but still pretty good, and the gameplay is anything but simple.
You play as Mario, and you have to collect gold coins, jump on enemies, and save Princess Toadstool, more commonly known as Princess Peach. Once you complete every level in Regular Mode, you have to go through the same levels again as Star Levels. They do have minor changes to make them harder, such as replacing Goombas with Buzzy Beetles, but they are pretty much the same as their regular counterparts. Also, as you complete each level in Regular Mode, it becomes available in Challenge Mode. When you complete a certain amount of the game, the You Vs. Boo Racing Option becomes available. (You can also race against a friend via a link cable.) After you complete more of the game, the Super Mario Bros. 2 Option becomes available. But, that is still not all. You get a table of ten high scores that you can combine with a friend's table. You unlock pictures for your photo albums and other features that can be printed with a Gameboy Printer (which hardly anyone has) and you can tell your fortune and record important events on a daily calendar. Whew, that's a lot of features!
As you can see, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a very complex game. It took me two months to complete the Regular and Challenge Modes alone, and I haven't fully completed any of the other modes. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe never gets old, though. When I brought it to school in 2003, four or five kids were swarming around me asking to play it, more people than were ever asking to play a Gameboy Advance SP game all at once. I have summarized my review in the following list of pros and cons:

Pros:

It has tons of different features and modes.
It takes a very long time to fully complete.
Even after you beat the game, it never gets old.

Cons:

It has blocky graphics.
Many of the features require a Gameboy Printer, which not many people have.

Pixel Perfect Port

It's been nearly fifteen years since the plumber wandered into the Mushroom Kingdom, and gaming has never been the same since. When the NES was released in 1985, the game that shipped with the system was the instant classic Super Mario Bros. And what better way to kick off the first year of the Game Boy Color's life than with a true Mario game? The Game Boy Color game Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a pixel-by-pixel translation of the original NES game, with a ton of added features. And because the original Super Mario Bros. still holds up extremely well after all these years, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is an absolutely fantastic game that borders on perfection ? perfection in Game Boy standards, of course. There are many different modes in the game, but the main game is the 1985 classic Super Mario Bros. 32 levels of platform-hopping gameplay where you must go through the world, jumping on enemies and collecting coins, making your way to the next castle before time runs out. Collect 100 coins and you've earned a secret life. Make sure you jump on...aww, skip it. You've played this game before. What you haven't played are the new modes injected in the Game Boy Color version. The Vs. Mode requires two Game Boy Colors and a link-cable, but this game is a whole lot of fun. It's a race to the flag pole between Mario and Luigi, and you'll try to screw each other up by hitting triggers that will put blocks up in the way. Very cool use of the original Super Mario Bros. engine, and worth the purchase of another cartridge just for this feature alone. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe also has a Challenge Mode, where you'll have to find five red coins and a Yoshi egg, as well as beat the level's preset score to finish the level completely. This is pretty darn difficult, hope you have a lot of patience. When I say pixel-perfect, I mean it. Even though the Game Boy Color screen has less resolution than a standard television, the developers have translated the same pixel count for every object in the game, from Mario to the koopas, turtles, even the question-mark blocks. Granted, this reduces the screen visibility somewhat, but the developers have added user-controlled screen-scrolling to the mix. If you want to see above or below where you're standing, it's all a matter of pushing up or down on the pad. All 32 levels, from 1-1 to 8-4 are patterned after the levels in the NES classic. Nothing's changed. Well, that's not exactly true, you can now save your game in progress, something you could not do in the original. It also remembers which levels you've completed, and unlocks secrets based on how many you've finished. So it's not always a good thing to find the warp zones so early in the game. Secrets? That's right. As you complete certain tasks in the game, you open up little hidden trinkets. Things like a Photo Album where you can print out earned pictures on your Game Boy Printer, or a Toy Box where you can make messages and print them out. Oh, and just because they could, the developers stuck in a fortune teller (just think "Mario Magic 8 Ball") and a calendar option where you can enter important dates and save them to a cartridge. Do they need to be in there? Of course not. But they're cool additions nontheless. Super Mario Bros. remains one of my top 10 favorite games of all-time, even though it's almost a decade and a half old. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is such a perfect translation, it makes me wonder if it's easy to port NES games to the Game Boy Advance. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is the Game Boy Color-specific game to own, hands down, and will be the title that, hopefully, will key a revolution of porting NES games to the handheld system. Buy this game. Now.

GAME GIRL!

This game is my favorite gameboy game I have. There are 32 levels and after you finish those, there I am sure a lot more. After you are 1st on the high score list, there is a whole new 32 levels. This game is a lot of fun, and I recomend it in high regards.
