I think that it is a great version of the original Super Mario Bros. It worked great! If you want to play the original Mario, Deluxe is a great experience. Only problem is the screen crunch but I don't care. If you have a game boy color or compatibles lying around the house you should pick up this game for sure!

When I first got my Game Boy Color, of course I decided to look up some games to play on it. At first I went with the classics, the ones I bought the console for - Metroid II, Pokemon, etc, the golden Game Boy classics that everybody should have in their collection. But then I decided to buy some a GBC game instead of a Game Boy original. After all, that's the system I own, right? So I looked up a little on the Internet and found a few articles on GameSpot. The absolute No.1 GBC game, with 9.9 reviewer score, was Super Mario Bros. Deluxe! I said to myself "Wow". Then I found a pretty neat deal and bought the game. And, of course, it wasn't worth the 9.9. Not by a long shot. What Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is, is a complete remake of the original, plus the Japanese SMB2 added to the mix. And that's it. Aside from a few (quite pointless) unlockables, this is the entire game. Just a remake. And I know that the original SMB is a timeless classic, and if it wasn't for it videogames probably would have become extinct by today, but still... come on! It's like making a direct port of of the original Pong on Xbox 360 and give it a 10/10. If I had to grade the game, I'd have probably given it a 9.0 or a 9.2 at best. However, let's stop looking at what it's not and look at what it IS, and it is good! The port is almost 1 to 1 with the original, and ALL of the changes that were made were in favor of the Game Boy Color's capabilities. Yes - every glitch is there, every trick is there, every texture is there... you get my point. Aside of the game itself there are several bonus modes that prolong gameplay, such as an exploration mode (in which you have to find certain objects hidden in the levels), race mode (in which you race against a friend or Boo the ghost), or a 2-player co-op (in which you and your bud play together using the Link Cable, if you both own a copy of the game). The game is FULL of unlockables, and I mean FULL!!! There's a calendar, a fortune teller, a front page customizer, medals, album, stickers, and a whole lot of others. Unfortunately all of those are completely pointless. It would have been nice if we got something more modern in it, like alternative costumes, cheats, skins, something that actually alters the main game. But oh well, I'll take what I can get, I guess... Final verdict - is it the best Game Boy Color game of all time? Not at all, that title still belongs to Ghost Babel in my opinion. Is it worth buying? HELL YEAH!!!!! This is a fun and entertaining title that, although not the best ever, is still pretty damn good. Check it out, I highly recommend it!Read full review
I originally played this game through the Nintendo eShop, and it is surprisingly difficult, but I defeated the first 8 worlds and it was extremely satisfying. When I saw a physical copy on eBay, I knew I had to have it. I would definitely recommend a real copy over the 3DS virtual console, the sound on this game is amazing and the graphics are sharp. This game is truly a timeless classic.

Of course, this is the same game as the original Super Mario Bros. It has a weird scroll because it can't fit the entire stage on the screen, but it has fun features like fortune telling, printing, a gallery, and a calendar. Also, you have battery saves and when you die you don't go back to World 1-1.

This version allows you to play the 1985 original, explore "Lost Levels" that no one’s ever seen before, and much more. There is a comprehensive Versus mode, an original Challenge mode, and even the thoughtful inclusion of a virtual "Toy Box," which contains a calendar, a fortune-telling device, and a banner printer. As in the original, the ultimate goal is to rescue Princess Toadstool from the ill-willed Bowser, and that will require mastering eight different worlds of action. There are dozens of bizarre creatures in this universe, such as flying turtles, horned reptiles, Bullet Bills, and the notorious Hammer Brothers. Thankfully, this version allows you to save your progress at any point in the journey, accessing your games at a later date. The new modes are awesome, and there are plenty of new goodies to be unlocked throughout.Read full review
It was the game exactly what I wanted. Funny though, I was using it on my old gameboy that I hadn't used since 2003 and it needed a definite warm up. Otherwise, the game works.

This was the first game I ever bought for Nintendo's Gameboy Color system. The game is a perfect clone of the original and I was glad that I could finally take one of the best games ever made with me on the go. The Nintendo Gameboy Color lacked really killer titles, as this is one of the few games for the system that surpasses the "must-own" status. Nintendo did a great job translating their bread and butter title over and it shows! The controls are precise and tight. The only problem with the game is that we have all played it before and there is nothing new to mention here. Basically, if you own a NES system and a Gameboy Color system and was wondering which version to get, I would recommend buying the original NES version as it is 10x cheaper.
Love the original Mario Brothers Games. Still play the Gameboy Color and now my granddaughter is playing with them as well. Gets her off the iPad app games. Super Fun!
