Editorial Review
One of the best things about the Game Boy Color is that it's basically an original Nintendo Entertainment System that can fit in your pocket. What this means for gamers is that many of the great games for the classic system are being ported to the Game Boy Color, giving us a chance to re-play (or in some cases discover) the best game titles from the '80s. Nintendo's own Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is among the first of these conversions, and it certainly remains one of the best. Actually, calling this game a conversion really doesn't do it justice. This version actually contains more levels than the original game, including the entire Japanese version and a slew of extras (such as a two-player mode). The controls in this game are easy to grasp--even for novice gamers. All Mario can do is jump (and shoot fireballs with the right power- ups), but it is amazing to see how much gameplay can be squeezed from these simple actions when the controls work in direct harmony with a player's thoughts. The only element of this game that could have been better is that the Game Boy Color's screen isn't quite large enough to show the entire layout of the original game screen, so players may occasionally need to press up and down on the control pad to see some offscreen action. While this can be distracting, it ultimately has minimal impact on gameplay. If you are looking for the quintessential side-scrolling platform game, you can't do much better than Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. --T. Byrl Baker Pros:
- Classic side-scrolling action gameplay
- Lots of extras
Cons:
- Screen isn't quite big enough to show the entire layout of the game

 incredible! Accept no other version than this one! February 2, 2007
Dude... As Tradewest used to say,"TRASH THE REST, AND PLAY THE BEST!".
This is truly the greatest incarnation of SMB1 that I have seen to date!
the only three ways that I would like to see it improved would be
A: Port it to the DS to allow the following;
B: Allow a toggle between classic graphics and the graphics (but NOT that gawd-awful reworked play control) which were used in the SNES compilation cartridge, and allow mid-game toggle between classic NES scale and "zoom"(close-up) perspective that was standard in this GBC rendition.
C: MMOSMB1! It might be difficult to figure out how to do this, but if it were possible to string several worlds (with all 4 areas included) together, I can imagine the hilarious result, running in a frantic race with dozens of marios' of many different color schemes, all scrambling to jump, squash, run, and shove their way past the othes from start to finish, with respawning blocks, creatures, and Bowzers! This GBC counterpart offers over 14 worlds, with 4 areas each, and alternative versions and rulesets for 8 of those worlds. it wouldn't be the most compelling game invented, but getting 16 or more different players simultaneously scrambling for this kind of goal would definitely be a sight to see!

Now the old Super Mario Bros. is back with a lot of extras.
First, it's the original game with a nifty save feature (On the map screen hit select to change into Luigi)
Second, Three Savable files
Third, A challenge mode in each level for colllecting the five red coins, Finding yoshi's egg and beating the level with a certain score.
Forth, A versus mode when you and a friend play (a single player mode can be unlocked)
Fifth, a picture album
Sixth, A Toy box containing a calender,You can hold your Birthday, special dates, and notes)a furtune teller, and a banner gallery on witch you can print out banners through the gameboy printer.
Seventh, The original Super Mario Bros. 2 released only in Japan and was later remade on Super Mario Allstars(A collection of classic Mario games, Super Mario Bros.,Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, & Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels( Super Mario Bros. 2 In Japan)) For the Super Nintendo Entertainment System or SNES. On this game it is called Super Mario Bros. for Super Players or SMBfSP (Confused Yet?)

 Too much fluff November 1, 2005
This game is fun because it has the orginal Super Mario Bros in it. The nostalgia is there on the small Game Boy screen. The down part is the fluff, like images to print out. All this is a total waste of memory on the cartridge.
Momma mia, what a come back!!!!!! March 20, 2005

I was a vivid gamer back in the day, and Mario was always one of my all time favorites. I have long since moved away from the video game scene, but now and then I play the classics on the PC. And when I played this version, I was amazed at how great it had been revived to the GBA. The graphics are the same, the gameplay is the same, the sound is the same, but there is new extras and bonus stuff, a pathway to choose, multi player ect.. I have to say this is the best Mario Bros. (1) game ever! Even better then Mario All Stars (snes) version!!!
