Has anyone else got this game?
Already too many things have changed! the second enemy of the game, the fire-spitting pirahna plant, has been a normal one that goes up and down!(what, do they think today's gamers are too terrible at playing to get past a fire-breathing one? i cant see anyone having trouble with that!)
when you get a card at the end of the game, it says 'You got a panel'!
a PANEL!!!

and the bar at the bottom has been changed!

they REALLY shouldnt have messed with this game!

Suggestion: if you want to play a game EXACTLY like the original, play the original.

i can, have done, and indeed will play the original....no need to go suggesting at me.

i was just pointing out what had been needlessly changed, i just think its wrong to do that the one of the (if not, THE) best selling and best games of all time.

No disrespect to homosexuals intended, but they could have refrained themselves from ruining a classic with that gay "Whoo whoo, itsa me" voice of Mario.

But who am I to criticise, I only play the games - I don't make them....

Can't you think of anyone other than the people who have played the original? I never even got a SNES so I never got to play those classic Mario game, I got this game last friday for something to ease the pain between now and christmas and I do find it challenging, but I have made it to the last world without no whistles (haven't even found one yet so I'm not that good) and I have flamethrowing blasters as well as rockets and yet more fire Pirahnas, it's quite tough for a first timer but I will definetly beat the game eventually coz I managed to get through the rest of the game feeling the same thing "this is too hard".

Do they save it after every level now?

It wouldn't surprise me although I did find Mario 3's save system slightly annoying. I've got the original (which I picked up for £8 including the 3 other Nes Mario's) so I don't care what they did to the new one! :-)


And another thing.
By putting it as number 4, they've cocked up the storyline for Mario Advance 2 (Super Mario World) because this Air Ship you fight in Mario 3 is the one you find in ruins on Mario World.

Nintendo you mongs! :-P

Ah, I remember playing the original version back on my NES. It still remains one of my favourite games of all time. Back then, they didn't have save systems, so I had to leave the console on until I got to the end. Heh, must have been on for weeks at a time.

I expect this remake will convince me to buy a Game Boy Player. Not a ridiculously overpriced GBA SP.
