This is an excellent adaption of the original game to the Game Boy Color. Now you can play the classic, history-making first game anywhere, even if you don't have a tv or plugg-ins! There are a whole lot of add-ons to this game. First of all, they changed some parts of the game for the better. Then they also added the lost levels of the game that can only be accessed when you reach a specific high score (of which I can't remember). They also have a racing activity with Boo the ghost and a challenge version of the game where finding red coins and Yoshi's eggs are as important as finishing the levels, too. And there's also a "verses" edition, where you can play against one of your friends (or enemies, of course). Whoever adapted this game to the Game Boy Color said "I want this version of the game to be even better," and they did a wonderful job. The graphics even look better! The Game Boy screen is too small to fit the entire layout of the levels onto it at the same time, so you have to look around using the "Up" and "Down" buttons. But that's okay, 'cause that just adds on to the challenge of the game! I only gave this video game 4 1/2 stars because you will still want to see yourself play on the big screen, but I would recommend this version of the classic game to anyone who liked it back in 1985. You'll probobly like this version even better!

Hey, this is the same game I played on the original Nintendo Entertainment System back in the '80s! I played that game for many hours and now I remember why. It's a fun and challenging game. It's not so difficult that it becomes frustrating. And, you get lots of lives and lots of options to continue from the level you last reached. You play Mario or Luigi. They are plumbers, but that's not central to the story unless you consider the many pipes you go into and jump over in the game. Some of the levels are underwater. Some of them are in dungeons. Mario or Luigi defeat their enemies by jumping on top of them. But, many enemies are best avoided. Watch those jumps, though. After death by touching an enemy, falling into the abyss below is the leading cause of Mario fatalities. This is my first Gameboy game, so I can't compare it to other Gameboy titles. Suffice it to say, I bought this game based upon it's good reviews and I am not disappointed. I recommend it highly, especially for people who remember playing the NES in 1985!
One or the greatest games of all time comes back to the GBC

I found this to be one of the greatest gameboy games and NES game I ever played. It has tons of new bonuses and 2 hidden games in there. Such a great game and you can always enjoy this as long as you have a gameboy color. Lots of new bonuses that couldn't be on the NES. Its just a great game. If you like mario then buy this game its one of the greatest games ever to be made in existence
awesome game

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a great game. There are tons of levels and enemies. If you liked Mario on the NES, you'll love this game. The graphics are great and it's just like the NES. There are tons of things to do-besides the main game, there is a whole new harder game to unlock once you get a certain number of points. You can be Mario or Luigi. You can race agains the computer or a friend with a link cable. There is a mode where you go through the levels and find coins and yoshi eggs. The game isn't too hard to beat but the new game you unlock is harder but just as fun. I haven't found all the coins and yoshi eggs for all the levels yet...it takes a long time. This game does NOT get old - i've had it for almost a year and its still great because there are so many things to do. One small problem, though is you can't get yoshi, which would have made it a little funner.but still a great game!
sorry if i bored you

Super Mario Brothers Deluxe is an exact copy of the original Nintendo game. All the same graphics, levels, and even cheats are the same. Even if you beat the original game, this version has a few things added. There's a mode where you race a friend or the computer, a table which has all the Toads that you've unlocked which will let you print out banners and such on the game boy printer, a fortune teller where if you are very lucky you earn five extra lives, and a challenge mode where you have to have a high score, gain red coins and find a yoshi's egg. There is also a picture gallery similar to Zelda Dx. which has pictures of enemies and scenes from the game. This game is pure fun.
Totally awesome

I recently bought the game and its tons of fun. The graphics are really good and if you've got the game on pc and you've played it before it's exactly like that. I recommend this game to everyone, it is a lot of fun!

This game is really fun. If you're looking for a game boy game this is the one to pick. There are 32 fun levels. The last 4 levels are the hardest but they're all possible if you really try. You can be Mario or Luigi. It has little challenges, vs.games and print-outs. You guys should get this game. It's the best!
