Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a platform game released on the Game Boy Color in 1999 as a remake of the 1985 NES game Super Mario Bros., also including its 1986 Family Computer Disk System sequel, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, as a hidden reward. It was released fourteen years after the original Super Mario Bros. The game was never released in Japan for the normal Game Boy Color Game Pak but rather the Nintendo Power cartridge. This game was initially released for the 3DS's Virtual Console in Japan, Europe, and Australia in 2014, as part of a special offer, and was later available to download for everyone in Europe, Australia, and North America with an added cost.[1]
The game received critical acclaim for a number of reasons, including bringing back the original Super Mario Bros. for a whole younger generation to experience, especially to a handheld that allowed players to enjoy Super Mario Bros. wherever they went, the inclusion of the previously rarely seen Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and the great abundance of featured unlockables.
This game also serves as a precursor for the Super Mario Advance series of rereleases, and Super Mario 64 DS as a classic title with additional features.
Story
The story for Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels are exactly the same as in their original releases, but present minor alterations. The plot follows like this, as detailed on the game's manual:[2]
Once upon a time, the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom was invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles famous for their dark magic. These terrible terrapins transformed the peace loving Mushroom People into stones, bricks, and ironically, mushrooms, then set their own evil king on the throne. In the wake of the ghastly coup d'etat, the beautiful Mushroom Kingdom fell into ruin and despair.
It is said that only the daughter of the Mushroom King, Princess Toadstool, can break the evil spell and return the inhabitants of Mushroom kingdom to their normal selves.
But the King of the Koopas, knowing of this prophecy, kidnapped the lovely Princess and hid her away in one of his castles.
Word of the terrible plight of the Mushroom People quickly spread throughout the land, eventually reaching the ears of a humble plumber. The simple, yet valiant Mario vowed to rescue the Princess and free her subjects from King Koopa's tyrannous reign. But can Mario really overcome the many obstacles facing him and become a true hero?

Game modes
Original 1985
This is the first mode of the game that the player will encounter. It is a nearly exact replica of the 1985 edition of Super Mario Bros., having only a few changes. The player will once again have to travel through eight worlds, each containing four levels. There are three save files to choose from. The player can use to either save or quit the game.
Differences between versions
- The game physics are somewhat tighter than in the original version.
- The player begins a game with five lives, instead of just three like the original game (as in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World). They may also begin with ten lives with the Fortune Teller.
- Many glitches from the original game were fixed for Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. As such, well-known glitches such as the Minus World glitch cannot be performed, although the Small Fire Mario glitch can be done in the Japanese version of the game.[3]
- The player can save the game at any time. As in the Super Mario All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, the game saves the current level, rather than just the current world.
- A world map has been added for each world, displaying the player's progress in the game.
- On a similar note, after beating a castle in each world, a brief cinematic is shown of Mario jumping repeatedly on a castle to make it collapse, similar to in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World.
- Due to the lack of a 2-Player mode, the player can switch between Mario and Luigi during the game by pressing the button on the world map.
- Water in ground courses and lava are animated. In the original version, they were a static part of the background.
- Princess Toadstool and Toad have talking animations. Additionally, when Peach is rescued in the final castle levels, she approaches Mario or Luigi and gives him a kiss after thanking him (with her either kneeling down or standing on her toes to kiss them depending on whether they are in small form or in Super/Fire form when they rescue her).
- The first sentence of Toad's dialogue has a comma added after "you".
- Luigi's sprite palette has been changed. In the original version, Luigi wore a white hat and a green shirt with white overalls, and Fire Luigi looked identical to Fire Mario. In Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Luigi's palette was changed to reflect that of Mario's. As such, Luigi has Mario's palette, but with green instead of red, and Fire Luigi has, by coincidence, his original normal colors, but with a darker green.
- Similarly, the grey Cheep-cheeps now appear green. The grey appearance in the original is actually due to graphics with the typical "green" palette appearing as grey underwater.
- Various sounds were added for various actions that were silent in the original. For instance, the Jumping Board makes sounds when Mario jumps on it, a sound is made whenever Lakitu tosses a Spiny Egg, Mario makes skidding sounds when he reverses while walking (much like in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels), Cheep-cheeps make a noise before they jump, and finally, just as in the Super Mario All-Stars version, a chime or buzz will sound depending on whether Mario takes the correct path in Worlds 4-4 and 7-4.
- Because the Game Boy Color has a smaller screen resolution than the NES, the visible playing space is cropped, which results in some course elements being off-screen that would be on-screen in the original. This adds a degree of difficulty in some stages like World 1-3, but to compensate, the player is able to backtrack in the course a little bit, and can adjust the camera by pressing up or down on or .
- Due to this, the HUD is also condensed:
- Only the score, coins, and time are shown during levels. Mario's/Luigi's lives and current level are now shown on the new Pause screen.
- The score lacks redundant zeroes at the left of numbers.
- The word "Time" is replaced by a small clock symbol.
- Due to this, the HUD is also condensed:
- Much like in Super Mario All-Stars, if the player ran out of time as Fire Mario, then the resulting dead Mario sprite will not have Fire Mario's colors.
Challenge
This mode allows the player to travel through any one of the 32 levels of Super Mario Bros. of their choosing, only this time, the player must collect Red Coins and Yoshi Eggs, and try to get higher scores to unlock Medals. The player can also unlock additional pictures and awards to view in the Toy Box if they do exceptionally well. In each level, five Red Coins are hidden, either replacing some regular coins (including some in Coin Blocks), or in new locations. The Yoshi Egg is in an invisible block that is hidden somewhere in the level; the player may get a clue as to where Yoshi Eggs are hidden by choosing Yoshi in the Toy Box. High scores may be attained through the usual methods, with each level having a target score that awards a Score Medal. The targets are lower in the Japanese version of the game. There are some differences in scoring between Challenge Mode and the original game:
- 1-up Mushrooms are worth 2,000 points.
- If the player would ordinarily receive a 1-Up from kicking a shell or stomping an enemy, they will receive 10,000 points instead.
- If an infinite 1-Up stomp trick is used, such as at the staircase at the end of 3-1, the Koopa Troopa or Buzzy Beetle will be killed after the 10,000 point bonus is earned.
- If the player gets every coin in a Bonus Stage, the screen will display "Perfect Bonus" and award 10,000 points.
Additionally, the score from each level is summed and displayed on the level select screen with a progress bar, which completely fills at 1,160,000 points (much higher than the total of all required scores for Score Medals). Filing the bar will earn the player an award.
Super Mario Bros. for Super Players
After earning a total of 300,000 points in Original 1985 mode, the Super Mario Bros. for Super Players mode is unlocked. This mode is a remake of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and unlike the "Original 1985" mode, it only has one save slot.
Some adjustments were made from the original game. Worlds 9 through D are left unused in the game (though they do exist in the ROM). The wind feature and Luigi's unique physics were also removed; as such, the game was modified so that some jumps were actually possible. Nearly all the modifications from the Super Mario Bros. port are present, including the graphics, but with different palettes.
High Scores
By utilizing the Game Boy Color infrared port, two players can view and exchange each other's high scores on levels and game modes. Because the Nintendo 3DS uses different infrared technology from the Game Boy Color, it is not possible to exchange scores in the Virtual Console version.
You VS. Boo
After earning a total of 100,000 points in Original 1985 mode, the You VS. Boo mode is unlocked. This mode is extremely similar to VS Game in multiplayer, only this time, the player must race against a Boo. The Boo has a major advantage over the player, as it can pass through walls and obstacles without slowing down. However, the player is given option to start the race as Super Mario or Fire Mario by pressing the button. The player will then have to race against the Boo on a particular stage. Each stage is modeled after a certain level in the game, only with some modifications. Springboards and blocks inhabit the courses mostly, as the player is required to utilize these to traverse the course successfully.
If the Bros. do so, Boo floats away and is replaced with a Green Boo. This Green Boo moves much faster than its predecessor, and if it is defeated, it ventures off and is replaced by a still-faster Red Boo.
Eventually, if the Red Boo is defeated in a race, a final Black Boo challenges the player. This Boo does not have a set speed but instead will match the player's best time. Beating this Boo will do nothing but make him faster the next time he is challenged by the player.
The personal best time for a respective level can also be deleted, which will revert Boo into his weakest white form.
Notably, all of the Boos race according to the player's best time, so a Boo of one color will get harder to beat after each defeat. Essentially, each of the four Boo colors merely indicate a certain level of difficulty; the change between Boos occurs upon beating a particular time that depends on the respective level. Therefore, it is also possible to skip the next Boo color faced if the player finishes a level at a fast enough speed.
VS Game
This mode is almost the same as You VS. Boo, but it is not available on the 3DS Virtual Console port, due to no multiplayer support. By utilizing the Game Boy Color Link, two players can race head-to-head on a particular level. The levels are laid out identically to those featured in You VS. Boo mode. It is necessary to play this mode at least once to unlock certain graphics in the Album. Only two differences can be found between VS Game and You VS. Boo:
- Boo will not be found on any level as competition.
- The players can use the rearranging blocks to complicate the level for their opponent.
Toy Box
The Toy Box contains a large variety of different toys for the player to use. The majority of the items in the Toy Box must be unlocked, generally through game completion.
Fortune Teller
The Fortune Teller is a bonus mode that is accessible from the very start of the game. The player enters the Fortune Teller, pick a random card, and receive a fortune. There are five different varieties of fortunes: Extremely Lucky, Very Lucky, Lucky, Unlucky, and Extremely Unlucky. The only way that the Fortune Teller can actually affect gameplay is if the player receives an Extremely Lucky fortune and starts a new file; they start the new game with 10 lives, instead of just five.
An extremely lucky fortune
A very lucky fortune

Mystery Room
The Mystery Room (or ? Room) is perhaps the most well-developed secret in the Toy Box. It contains a total of eight different options for the player to choose from. Each must be unlocked by rescuing a captive from a castle in Original 1985 mode. Whenever a Toad (or Princess Peach, as the case may be) is rescued from a castle, they will show up in the Mystery Room.
- World 1-4 Toad: Shows the player banners to print out on the Game Boy Printer.
- World 2-4 Toad: Shows the player animations.
- World 3-4 Toad: Shows the player banners to print out on the Game Boy Printer.
- World 4-4 Toad: Shows the player animations.
- World 5-4 Toad: Shows the player various graphics available for printing.
- World 6-4 Toad: Shows the player a certain mode that allows them to create a sort of story.
- World 7-4 Toad: Shows the player banners to print out on the Game Boy Printer.
- Princess Peach: Shown an introduction screen editor where the player can replace the "Super Mario Bros: since 1985." title screen with different images, and add custom text. Can also be used to change the song heard in the title screen.
Calendar
The Calendar is the only other feature that is located in the Toy Box to be accessible from the very start of the game. The main function of the calendar is to keep track of the days. The player could mark certain days on the calendar if they were a specific event, such as a birthday. The player can only mark 12 dates on the whole calendar. If the player wants to try to mark another, one of the dates has to be erased. It always has the same music as the Main Menu music.
Yoshi Is Here!
By finding at least one Yoshi Egg in Challenge Mode, the player will unlock "Yoshi Is Here!", an optional feature helps the player find other Yoshi Eggs in various levels of Challenge Mode. It operates like a roulette, flashing random levels at a high speed. When the player presses , the screens will stop flipping. A brief snapshot will be shown of an area in a specified level, indicating that the level's Yoshi Egg can be found there; it is often near an object that did not appear in the original level. This mode has the same music as the Mystery Room menu.

Regional differences
The Japanese version was released nearly a year after the North American and European versions, and features some enhancements over earlier versions.
- In the Japanese release, when the player unlocks new album photos, a red and yellow-flashing icon reading "NEW" is shown next to the album icon from the mode select screen.
- The photo fragments on pages 4 and 5 of the album are not unlocked by using fireballs to defeat the fake Bowsers and Bowser in original mode. Instead, the eight fragments are rewarded for every four Red Coins collected in Challenge mode.
- The Ranking scoreboard plays the same theme from when printing from a Game Boy Printer.
- In the Japanese release, when saving the game progress, Mario and Luigi's current form and the player's current score are also saved. In the English version, when reopening a game, Mario and Luigi return to their small form, and their score is reset to zero.
- From the pause menu, if the player saves their game with a score high enough for the Records table, a large starburst saying "RANK IN!" appears.
- Some names on the Ranking screen were changed to their romanized Japanese name.
- "BOWSER" was changed to "KOOPA".
- "BOO" was changed to "TERESA".
- "LAKITU" was changed to "JUGEMU".
- "TROOPA" was changed to "NOKO2" (short for Koopa Troopa's Japanese name, Nokonoko). The "2" of the Ranking name is white, while "NOKO" is colored green.
- "TOAD" was replaced by "PAKKUN", the Japanese name for Piranha Plant.
- "GOOMBA" was changed to "KURIBO".
- In the Japanese release, the Ranking scores can be reset if the player presses .
- The Boo in the "You VS. Boo" mode was renamed to simply Ghost and has a different graphic.
- The record time for each level in "You VS. Boo" is saved.
- In Challenge mode, the minimum points requirement was changed for each of the first four worlds' levels, except World 2-3 and World 3-4.
Reception
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe was very well-received by both fans and critics.
| Reviews | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Release | Reviewer, Publication | Score | Comment |
| Game Boy Color | Cameron Davis, GameSpot | 9.9/10 | "It looks like we finally have the "killer app" for the Game Boy Color, then. Worth buying a GBC just to play. Well done, Nintendo - now, where's Zelda and Metroid...?" |
| Game Boy Color | Craig Harris, IGN | 10/10 | "Super Mario Bros. remains one of my top 10 favorite games of all-time, even though it's almost a decade and a half old. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is such a perfect translation, it makes me wonder if it's easy to port NES games to the Game Boy Color. Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is the Game Boy Color-specific game to own, hands down, and will be the title that, hopefully, will key a revolution of porting NES games to the handheld system. Buy this game. Now." |
| Nintendo 3DS | Marcel van Duyn, Nintendo Life | 6/10 | "All in all, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is both a hit and a miss. The newly added features and included edition of Lost Levels give you some bang for your buck, but the decreased field of vision — a throwback to the Game Boy Color's small screen — hinders enjoyment of all modes quite a lot. To those who have played the original game and are interested in Deluxe's bonuses — or to those who got the game as a freebie — this is quite a nice little experience, but to anybody simply looking to get a portable version of Super Mario Bros., the already available original NES version is probably the smarter option." |

Trivia
- A 2001 patent filed by Nintendo for a gaming smartphone used Super Mario Bros. Deluxe as an example of a built-in game. The patent called the game "Super Mario DX".[5]
- Mario's in-game sprite still wears the same colored attire for their shirts and overalls as he did in the original; Luigi wears a new dark/light green outfit while his original colored attire is now Fire Luigi's outfit. However, the game's artwork and cutscenes depict Mario and Luigi wearing the standard colors of their shirts and overalls since Super Mario Bros. 3.
