Super Mario World Deluxe

Play an adventurous game with Mario and his friends as they try to save Princess Toadstool.

This game is a remake of the classic that you might have played for hours. It features the original characters, such as Mario and Luigi, as well as a few new characters. The details and sounds of the game are phenomenal for one that is played on the computer. It's not a perfect game, but it's close enough to the original to where you'll enjoy the nostalgia of the scenery and the action that takes place. One of the things that you'll notice about the game is that the characters have their original personalities and their actions. They also use their original superpowers, such as shooting fire. Your height can change through the game as it does in the original version, and you can zip through tunnels and green flower pots like you do in the classic.

Mario is a bit faster as he runs on the screen. He can jump higher and farther as well. These new features keep him from being exactly like the original version of the man in red overalls. This isn't a game that mimics the original, but it's a very good remake. There aren't as many levels to play in the game, which can be disheartening for those who enjoy the numerous levels of play that seem to keep going until you finally see the princess. There are only five levels in this game, which is a far cry from the original version, but the levels available are full of action. It's easy to learn about the controls and how to navigate your way through the game. The music and sound effects are similar but more upbeat than the original.
