Super Mario All-Stars, known in Japan as Super Mario Collection (スーパーマリオコレクション, Sūpā Mario Korekushon?), is a video game that was developed and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1993. It contains enhanced remakes of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (Japanese: Super Mario Bros. 2), Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japanese: Super Mario USA), and Super Mario Bros. 3. There was also an alternate version (entitled Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World) bundled with the Super Nintendo in December 1994 that included Super Mario World.
Gameplay
General- Due to processor and clock differences between the NES and SNES, the original game engine was not faithfully emulated, making slight changes noticeable to avid players of the original games.
Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
Super Mario Bros. 2Super Mario Advance is a port of the All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 2.
Super Mario Bros. 3While Super Mario Bros. 3 had significant graphical enhancements, the game wasn't given upgrades to the extent that Super Mario Bros. 2 was, as the original SMB3 game had very advanced graphics (relatively speaking) to begin with. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is a port of the Super Famicom/SNES version of Super Mario Bros. 3.
Super Mario WorldSuper Mario World is only included in the Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World pack that was bundled with the SNES in December 1994 which was released in the United States and the UK, but was not released in Japan. There are fewer layers of parallax scrolling than the other games, making the graphics slightly worse in terms of depth. A retail boxed version of Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World was sold in the UK shortly after it was bundled with the console. This appears to be a very rare version that came in a mostly red coloured box/packaging.
