Yes, Mario All-Stars is a compilation of the first three Super Mario Bros games, but the 16-bit makeover justifies their re-release on the SNES - plus, all three are timeless classics.

It also marked the first time that previously Japanese-exclusive Super Mario Bros 2 made it's way to the wider world - it's called The Lost Levels to distinguish the title from the Western release of Mario Bros 2 (which is substantially different).

Really, that's all that needs to be said. The first three Super Mario Bros games are all legendary platformers; this package gives them a neat new makeover with some extra content and bundles them all on one cartridge - a classic and a bargain, all in one.

I have an addiction to achievements, a craving for new bands and a dream to become Captain America. I once finished second in a Mario Kart 7 tournament so I'm kind of a big deal.
