I'm so glad this game was created. I'm a Super Mario Bros 2 nut and the All-Stars version rocks! Super Mario All-Stars is a compilation of all the NES mario games in one game..... with SNES graphics! What could be better? I'll tell you what, an extra episode!(Super Mario: the lost levels). I love this game.

Graphics: (7/10) All of your favorite Mario classics are back in stunning (yes, stunning!) 16-bit graphics. Really, the designers did a great job. Personally I think All-Stars looks better than Super Mario World.

Sound: (5/10) The music hasn't been changed much. The quality has definitely improved, but it's still pretty much the same beep-beep-boop stuff. Which is probably a good thing... I mean it's Mario! Anyway, all the other sounds were probably re-done, but they're about the same.

Fun: (8/10) This really just depends on if you're a Mario fan. Personally I stick to the Mario 2 action with occational Mario 3 battle mode matches with my friend Josh. All of the original game physics are in place, so the games still have the same feel; major bonus! I dig Mario, Fun level = 8.

Creativity: (6/10) Transferring the old Marios to SNES was a really good idea, and the bonus levels are a nice addition (though I think they're rather difficult), but as far as "creativity," there's not a whole lot of new and inventive ideas present. But there are some, and a 6/10 is not bad (check the ratings system).
