... The original NES versions of the Mario games over Super Mario All Stars? I'll give you Super Mario Brothers 3 as being a great remake, yes, and 2 got a nice update, but I still would rather play the originals. The Super Mario Brothers/Lost Levels remake suffers from both game play differences (Not bouncing down after hitting brick blocks really screws me up) and sound effects (HATE THOSE NOISES. That's why I'm never too fond of Super Mario World at times). Some music is great while other times it's just not good enough.

Plus, come on. 8 Bit Music. It's effing legendary.

The remakes are okay, but if I had to choose, I'd go oldskool.

The older versions of the game aren't really superior, but the changes weren't needed. In Super Mario Bros, for instance, you can clear the tallest pirana plants with a running jump from ground-level, but you cannot in the Allstars version of the game. It makes a big difference for those who can actually do it.

I agree.

For me, the ability to save your game in Allstars is a godsend
