I am reviewing
on a scale of zero to four stars like in my last Review. This is a Review
of Mario All-Stars for SNES, and a Comparison of the games in it. My version
doesn't have Mario World, but the pack has Mario 1, Lost Levels, Mario
2, and Mario 3. I'm counting Mario 1 and Lost Levels as the same since
they're so similar.
Graphics: Mario
1: ***1/2 Mario 2: ***1/2 Mario 3: ****
The graphics
of all four are pretty good. Mario 1's graphics are better than the NES
version. The Mario 2 graphics are also good. But the best of them all was
Mario 3 because the graphics looked ultra-cool. The backgrounds are very
good, too. The Koopa Kids looked really good in this game!
Sound: Mario
1: *1/2 Mario 2: ** Mario 3: ***1/2
Mario 1's music
was normal. I think Bowser's theme is the best. The music for Mario 2 was
slightly better. Mario 3's music is the best of them all again.
Gameplay: Mario
1: *** Mario 2: *** Mario 3: ***
The gameplay
for all three were pretty good, and there is not much to say about it.
Levels: Mario
1: ***1/2 Mario 2: ***1/2 Mario 3: ****
Mario 1 had repeating
levels while Lost Levels had different levels with odd backgrounds, like
8-3. In both games, the underground background is cool and the castle background
had... pictures of Bowser! Mario 2's levels are good, too. The Mario 3
levels are very fun, like 7-5, 7-9, and 8-1. Mario 3 is the winner again.
Diffuculty: Mario
1: ***1/2 Mario 2: *1/2 Mario 3: **1/2
Mario 1 is kinda
hard but fun. Mario 2 is easiest of them all I think. Mario 3 had levels
both easy and hard, but you can beat them in a few tries.
Items: Mario
1: 1/2 Mario 2: 1/2 Mario 3: ****
Mario 1 and Mario
2 didn't have lots of items and Mario 3 had LOTS of different kinds of
items. The winner is obviously Mario 3.
Fun Factor!:
Mario 1: *1/2 Mario 2: ** Mario 3: ****
Well, Mario 1
and Lost Levels are both average in most stuff. Mario 2 is odd but fun
EXCEPT for thereplay value because save files are split into worlds, not
levels. As for Mario 3... only three words describe it: EVERYTHING is good.
Overall: Mario
1: **1/2 Mario 2: **1/2 Mario 3: ****
Mario 1 and Mario
2 are pretty much average for most stuff so it's worth playing. The winner
is DEFINITELY Mario 3, of course.
Recommendation:
I don't really
know where you can find the game, for I received it many years ago. My
best guess is probably (again) eBay or any other online store like. Amazon.com.
