Super Mario Bros. Deluxe

"An extremely fun game that brings the old-school game back and so much more."

Super Mario Bros. DX is such a cool game! I think that it just brings back the 1985 game along with tons of extras. Oh well, let's get down to business.

Graphics
The graphics for this game are great considering that it's a portable game.At least there aren't any glitches or nothing. I personally think that most games can't or won't achieve these graphics. Super Mario Bros. DX looks basically just like the original, except I noticed the comparison in a magazine and Mario and Luigi are a little bit enlarged. It's fine with me because I think Nintendo did that so you can see yourself on the screen better. I also really adore how the game moves so smoothly! It doesn't even get blurry when you run on screen!

Sound
As for the sound, it's so cool! All of the sounds from the original are all here as far as I can hear! Everything from the little 'ting' to the little 'ching'! All of them are here and sound just the same.

Controls
The controls are just fine. I don't see any glitches or sluggish reactions.

Replay Value
For the replay value, I'd say that it has tons of it! With the Challenge mode where you find hidden coins and yoshi eggs are totally cool! Also, I really think that the VS. mode where you race another player in a level to the finish is extremely fun!

Goodies
In SMBDX, there are a lot of goodies. There's a fortune teller where you pick up a card from 6 cards is cool. You can also fill out a date book for cool stuff to remember and put in. Also, there's an album where you fill out a message for a picture and can print it on a game boy printer.

Overall, this game is really cool! I wouldn't pass it up for a lifetime. It doesn't matter what games that you like;this game is fun for all people. I give this game two thumbs up and a 10.
