A Personal Analysis of Super Mario Bros

Lets talk about Super Mario Bros. And I will be doing exactly that. I’ll be telling you what I think about the game, my experiences with it, I’ll be recapping the basis history of the game and talking finish this off by giving my opinion on the game.

Super Mario Bros is a platforming game that was first released in japan in the year 1985 for the Famicon. Super Mario Bros was later released in north American later that same year and released two years later in 1987 in Europe. Super Mario Bros was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka for development under Nintendo. In Super Mario Bros first player plays as Mario and a second player could play as his brother Luigi. You make your way through a variety of levels and different worlds as you journey towards your goal of saving princess Peach and defeating Bowser. You’ll use power ups like the super mushroom that makes you larger, which gives you the ability to break blocks and lets you take extra hit before death. There is also the Fire flower, this power up gives you the same abilities as the super mushroom but you also gain the ability to shoot fire balls out that kill enemies. The final power up that you will encounter is called the super star. This power makes you invincible to everything that isn’t falling to your death. It also allows you to kill anything in one hit.

It turns out that I am rather bad at Super Mario Bros. I couldn’t make it past the first world because I am too inpatient, and I don’t take time to slow down. It’s kind of interesting, I have watched people play Mario games for years, and I’ve only ever played Mario Odyssey and the controls always look and have felt pretty tight. But hopping into the original game I was kind of shocked how loose and floaty the controls for the game actually are. I was pretty much completely unprepared for it. And its not like I am bad at Mario Games either, I have nearly one hundred percented the game. That’s really my only complaint about the game, besides that I had a really great time with the game, and I plan on sitting down and beating it in my free time.

In conclusion, Super Mario Bros is one of the best-selling games or all time and is usually sited as one of the best games ever when those kind of conversations come up. Which while I can’t say the same because I personally don’t feel that way, I acknowledge that I has had a huge impact on gaming. Super Mario Bros not only became an instant favorite, but it also launched one of the most iconic and recognizable characters to ever exist into the main streams attention. And while I don’t believe that Nintendo games have retained their titles as the biggest games of all time, they definitely aren’t something to scoff at. Thank you for taking the time to listen to what I have to day.
