It contains remakes of Nintendo's four Super Mario games released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and the Famicom Disk System: Super Mario Bros. (1985), Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (1986), Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988), and Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988). As in the original games, players control the Italian plumber Mario and his brother Luigi through themed worlds, collecting power-ups, avoiding obstacles, and finding secrets. The remakes feature updated graphicsincluding the addition of parallax scrollingand music, modified game physics, and bug fixes. Nintendo Entertainment Analysis & Development developed the compilation after the completion of Super Mario Kart (1992) at the suggestion of Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto. No longer restricted by the limitations of the 8-bit NES, Nintendo chose to remake them for the 16-bit SNES. The developers based the updated designs on those from Super Mario World (1990) and strove to retain the feel of the original games. Nintendo released Super Mario All-Stars worldwide in late 1993 and rereleased it in 1994 with Super Mario World included. The compilation marked The Lost Levels' first release outside Japan; it was not released on the NES in Western territories because Nintendo deemed it too difficult at the time. Super Mario All-Stars received acclaim and is one of the bestselling Super Mario games, with 10.55 million copies sold by 2015. Critics considered it one of the best SNES games and praised the updated graphics and music, but criticized its lack of innovation. All-Stars served as a basis for later Super Mario rereleases and was described by Famitsu as a role model for video game remakes. It was rereleased twice for the anniversary of Super Mario Bros.: in 2010 (the 25th anniversary) in a special package for the Wii, and in 2020 (the 35th anniversary) for the Nintendo Switch. The Wii rerelease sold 2.24 million copies by 2011 but received mixed reviews, with criticism for the lack of additional games or features.

Note the more detailed environment and background of the latter.Super Mario All-Stars is a compilation of four video games in the Super Mario seriesSuper Mario Bros. (1985), Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (1986), Super Mario Bros. 2 (1988),[b] and Super Mario Bros. 3 (1988)[3]originally released for the 8-bit Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and the Family Computer Disk System.[4] Additionally, a two-player bonus game based on Mario Bros. (1983) can be accessed from Super Mario Bros. 3.[5] The games are faithful remakes featuring the original premises and level designs intact.[6][7] They are 2D side-scrolling platformers where the player controls the Italian plumber Mario and his brother Luigi through themed worlds. They jump between platforms, avoid enemies and inanimate obstacles, find hidden secrets (such as warp zones and vertical vines), and collect power-ups like the mushroom and the Invincibility Star.[4][8] Super Mario Bros., The Lost Levels, and Super Mario Bros. 3 follow Mario and Luigi as they attempt to rescue Princess Toadstool from the villainous Bowser, with the player stomping on enemies and breaking bricks as they progress. Super Mario Bros. 2 features a different storyline and gameplay style: Mario, Luigi, the Princess, and Toad must defeat the evil King Wart, who has cursed the land of dreaming. In this game, the player picks up and throws objects such as vegetables at enemies.[4][9] The player selects one of the four from an in-game menu and can exit at any time by pausing.[10] The games feature updates that take advantage of the 16-bit hardware of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), ranging from remastered soundtracks to revamped graphics and the addition of parallax scrolling.[6] Game physics were slightly modified and some glitches, such as the Minus World in Super Mario Bros., were fixed.[11][12] The difficulty level of The Lost Levels was slightly reduced: poison mushroom hazards, which can kill the player, are easier to distinguish,[13] and there are more 1-ups and checkpoints.[14] All-Stars includes the option to save player progress, which the original games lack.[15] Players can resume the games from the start of any previously accessed world, or in The Lost Levels, any previously accessed level.[10] Up to four individual save files can be stored for each game.[12]
