A nice, classic game!
Gameplay: 10
The next thing that I'd like to cover are the graphics. Lots of people would say that this game has the worst graphics ever. However, for a twenty year old game, made for the NES, I really need to cut it some slack. The only reason that I wouldn't give it a ten is because times have changed. Many people have HD televisions and this game just doesn't have the graphics that most people want.
Graphics: 6
Although the graphics might not be great, the sound is fine. There are appropriate sound effects throughout the game. For example, if a shell was hitting a block, or Mario was smashing a block, you would hear it break. If Mario jumped on an enemy, you'd hear it get squished. If he got a coin, you would hear that familiar sound. The sound is pretty good in this game.

This game is extremely addicting. if you die, and get a game over, you'll have to start at the very beginning! This makes it an extremely long game that I find nearly impossible to beat. If you're looking for a good challenge, I definitly recommend this game. Prepare for fun, frustration, and...more fun!
Playtime/Replayability: 9
Overall, this is a great game that I recommend every gamer to have. It's one of the best games out there in my opinion. If you have a working NES, get it now! If you have a Wii, get it for Virtual Console. It's only 5 dollars! (American)
