BS Super Mario Collection is a remix of Super Mario Collection for the Satellaview, an add-on for the Super Famicom. The game was released in four installments. As the game played, streamed audio would enhance the gameplay experience with special music and voice acting featuring Japanese celebrities. Unfortunately, information on it is sparse and incomplete at this time. Its "companion title" is BS Super Mario USA.

General Differences/Additions

  • There are new icons on the map screen: a Fire Flower icon, and a Coin Ship icon, which may have the same function as the original ships, but looks different.
  • Toad's House is now just a screen where the player selects the treasure chest, rather than having Mario actually walk to the chest and open it.
  • There is a timer in the bottom left of the screen that counts how long the game has been played.
  • At the beginning of each world, there is a list of all the levels, and a picture with dialog underneath it.


Installment Info

Dai-1-shuu: Super Mario Bros. - Mario transverses a unique overworld. He chooses from three initial levels in a world, then when the timer runs out he moves on to the castle. Saving Toad earns him the Spade Panel round with multiple continues, then the game moves on to the next world (presumably continuing to the end of the game). In the meantime, voice commentary is supplied by Mario and Yuuki Nae, a Satellaview Radio Personality.

Dai-2-shuu: N/A

Dai-3-shuu: Super Mario Bros. 3 - Mario again explores the worlds in this game with a timer.

Dai-4-shuu: N/A

Release Date Info

Being episodic, BS Super Mario Collection was released on a weekly basis. Info on the four releases; [1]

Date/Date Range Japanese English
1997/12/28～1998/01/03 ＢＳスーパーマリオコレクション 第１週 BS Super Mario Collection Week 1
1998/01/04～1998/01/10 ＢＳスーパーマリオコレクション 第２週 BS Super Mario Collection Week 2

The timeframe they initially broadcasted was likely 7PM. The programs may have re-aired a various amount of times, but more indepth schedules are necessary to know exactly how many.

Music

The Satellaview's Soundlink-capabilities allowed music to be streamed via Satellite radio. This game used this to enhance it's soundtrack with songs that could not be performed via the Super Famicom's soundchips.

As the game played, music from the Super Mario World Soundtrack and Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3, Hop! Step! Jump! - as well as strangely-picked licensed music would play in place of standard Super Mario music. Some of the licensed music choices include "The Power of Love" by Huey Lewis and The News and "The NeverEnding Story"
