Story
★★★★★
"Classic"
Bringing together the plumber's founding adventures means celebrating a remastered pixel art turned heritage, lively, colourful and of perfect readability. Each world recalls the graphic invention of an era without ever seeming dated. For the enthusiast, this visual anthology has the value of a childhood treasure.
A compilation of the 16-bit Mario classics, the game lets you rediscover Koji Kondo's immortal melodies in brilliant arrangements. From the Super Mario Bros. themes to the dreamlike worlds of Mario 2, every rousing tune has crossed the decades. This foundational sonic anthology stays etched in everyone's memory.
Gameplay
"Excellent"
Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Celebrating a quarter-century of Mario by gathering four 16-bit-renovated classic adventures on a single disc: this anniversary compilation is a treasure for any platforming fan. Rediscovering these masterpieces, from the first game to the Lost Levels, delivers a timeless pleasure. Generous, polished and nostalgic, an anthology that condenses the genre's golden age, pad in hand.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Replaying the 8-bit Mario games remade in 16-bit, chasing the flagpole and ferreting out secret passages reignites platforming fever from one title to the next. Each cleared level calls for the following one, and the hunt for hidden worlds stretches the session. The games have aged in their structure, but the timeless precision of their level design keeps an undiminished grip.
Difficulty
"Balanced"
Lifespan
"Massive"
Bundling four full classics — Super Mario Bros., The Lost Levels, the second and the third — in remastered form delivers hours of demanding platforming on its own, each game packing dozens of stages. The Lost Levels in particular pushes difficulty to the limit and begs to be retried. An artwork gallery and orchestral soundtrack round out the anniversary celebration. This collection of genre landmarks keeps its appeal as a timeless Mario marathon.
Super Mario All-Stars, the Western 25th-anniversary reissue gathering Mario's platform classics, accompanied by a commemorative booklet and soundtrack disc. It is this anniversary packaging, more than the games' well-known content, that makes it a prized piece. Its desirability rests on this complete collector wrapping and the sentimental value of the celebration rather than a print scarcity.
Is Super Mario All-Stars still worth playing in 2026?
Released in 2010 on Wii for Mario's twenty fifth anniversary, Nintendo's reissue takes up the Super Mario All-Stars compilation from the Super Nintendo, which gathers the four NES era Super Mario Bros games remastered in sixteen bits. Going through these platforming classics, from the founding first entry to the tricky Lost Levels, lets you measure the birth of a genre, with intact play pleasure. The anniversary edition adds a booklet and a soundtrack. The absence of modern additions disappoints some. A precious heritage piece, recommended for fans of retro platforming and of collecting.
