BS Super Mario Collection is a remake 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.
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.
