Super Mario Bros (1985)

Although Super Mario Bros is probably the easiest game ever made, it’s still a timeless classic. Some people in their late twenty’s might have preferred Sonic the Hedgehog in their day, but Mario and Luigi are by far the best known game figures. As well as the most famous plumbers ever.

Graphics

Mario and Luigi are made of a few big pixels, that’s no secret. So are the enemies. The levels are designed quite creatively and with lots of alternation.  

Sound

It’s like with Zelda: the theme does not get old. And the underground level and the castle music are classics as well.

Instant Fun Factor

The difficulty level of Super Mario Bros makes it possible to play arcade style. The fact that you can run of swim through (or over) most levels of this game without being hurt adds up to this conclusion.

Long Term Fun Factor

Even though almost everybody knows them, there are still a lot of secrets in Super Mario Bros. You’ll find that when you’re playing it for a very long time that you will have to find some of them again.
