Gameplay

change

Super Mario All-Stars features mostly-identical ports of the games included, albeit with new graphics and improved sound. Some games have minor changes however, such as The Lost Levels' bonus levels being unlocked by rescuing Princess Toadstool once instead of eight times like the original, and 2 having a whirl effect when the player travels down a Warp Zone. In addition, the Super Mario Bros. remake has a bug in which Mario does not go straight down when destroying a Brick Block.

Re-release
