''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'' (often shortened as '''''Super Mario Bros. DX''''' and abbreviated '''''SMBDX''''') is an update of the original 1985 Famicom/NES hit game '' Super Mario Bros. '' The update was distributed in 1999 for Game Boy Color . The game was left relatively unmodified from the original NES version; it omitted the graphical updates of the '' Super Mario All-Stars '' version. The only differences were an on-cart save feature, a world map, and the ability to play as Luigi at any time. DIFFERENCES There are some major visibility differences. For example, in the Game Boy Color version, only 12 "16 x 16" sprites are visible on the screen laterally, while on the NES version, 16 of such sprites are visible at a time. Nintendo could have chosen to either pixelate Mario smaller or show less sprites; they opted for the latter option. To compensate, the player can press up and down to see below and above the screen. While some were annoyed at this change, others have seen this as an increased challenge to not be able to see flying Bloopers above and below the screen. Other minor details were removed such as the name of the character and current level on the top menu of the level game screen. Mario or Luigi can also move back a bit further than they could in the original NES version. Controls are also much smoother than in the original NES version. GAMEPLAY
OTHER MODES The game also features Challenge and Versus modes (competitive multiplayer).
Toy Box A Toy Box and '''Photo Album''' are included as well; the Toy Box featured various Toads sitting around a table. Each Toad would have different things for the player to try, such as a title screen editor and various printouts for the Game Boy Printer . The Photo Album unlocks pictures as the player reaches certain achievements in the game. These pictures can also be printed via the Game Boy Printer. Unlockable modes After earning 100,000 points in Original 1985 mode, the player unlocks "You Vs. Ghost " mode (AKA "You Vs. Boo" in English versions), a race against the character in eight different levels. The Boo progressively turns different shades (Green, Blue, Pink, and Black) as the player continuously races and beats him. The game also contained many other modes and features. After scoring over 300,000 points in Original 1985 mode, the player unlocks '''', which is renamed ''For Super Players'' (the anem for the Japanese version of '' Super Mario All-Stars ''). This version is not an exact port; it omits the differences between Mario and Luigi , the extra Worlds (Fantasy World and the letters [A-D ), and the updated graphics from the original ''The Lost Levels''. However, it does retain the same pallet colors for enemies like red Piranha Plants and pink Bloopers ''All-Stars'' version colored them lightly pink and adds a new sprite for Poison Mushrooms slightly based on the ''All-Stars'' edition). RECEPTION The game was very well-received by both critics and fans. , 2004 . REFERENCES EXTERNAL LINKS |
