Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
One of the best things about the Game Boy Color is that it is 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 off-screen 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

Product Description
The classic arcade game comes to the Game Boy Colour! In addition to playing Super Mario Brothers, players will also be able to complete special red-coin challenges on each level. Also, totally new bonus options are available, like a calendar feature and special artwork that can be turned into stickers with the Game Boy Printer.

You will guide Mario through eight worlds packed with flowers and free lives, avoiding koopas and blasting Bowser with fireballs. Warp zones, secret coin rooms and hidden vines are tucked away behind breakable blocks, which taught gamers back in the early 1980s to explore every nook and cranny. Includes two-player competition via a link cable. Available for Game Boy Colour only.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unavoidably Addictive, 15 April 2001
By D.W.Atkins (Southampton, England) - See all my reviews
The music can be darn annoying after a little while, but the game itself is excellent. The new colour format of this clasic game brings it to life, as Mario jounreys to save the Princess. When you get killed, and have to start again, it makes you even more determined to crack the level, and before you realise it, you've been playing for over an hour. A top game - thumbs up!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic port of the best ever platform game., 29 Sep 2000
By A Customer
This is a fantastic remake from the NES original. Mario on the NES was about as good as gaming ever got. This improves on it.

What more can I say? Miyamoto the legendary games designer was behind this game... and it was because of the quality of the Mario games that Nintendo did so well in the 8-bit days of gaming. This game therefore, apart from being fantastic fun is also a piece of gaming history.

A must-have along with Tetris and Zelda for all GameBoy Color owners.

5.0 out of 5 stars the ultimate special edition, 21 Mar 2009
By D. Vent - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
This is the original mario bros plus the lost levels plus a new section in which you can replay all the levels with three new goals for each one - find the yoshi coin hidden in each level (both of which force you to investigate new parts of the level and risk jumping to dangerous ledges you'd normally avoid), then there's a medal to be had for getting a highscore on each level - to do this you need to find the balance between finishing the level really fast (which makes you realise the game can be just as fast as sonic with perfect jumps) and getting lots of bonus points by hitting enemies in a combo i.e. jumping on three goombas heads with landing on the ground in between, repeatedly hitting the same koopa shell as a bounces back and forth between obstructions (all the while making sure you leave enough time to complete the level and don't get hit by the high speed koopa), etc. There's even a racing game style ghost that you can race - which is very difficultas they presumably got the developers on the team to nail fast time and you have to try and finish faster - having another character on screen that could overtake you at any moment nicely adds to the tension.

So if you played this game when it first came out, and dismissed this as a cheap re-release think again - you haven't experienced mario bros til you've played this.

Well worth getting hold of a gameboy color or advance for!
