'''''Super Mario All-Stars''''' (known as '''''Super Mario Collection''''' in Japanese), is a compilation of remasters for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] (the Super Famicom in Japan). It enhances ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' (known as ''Super Mario Bros. 2: For Super Players'' in Japan) to the Super Nintendo with an added on-cartridge save feature, updated graphics and sound, and an additional "battle game" for ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. It is also the first time that the original Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' was released for the western public.

This game was re-released again as ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'', which as the title suggests, additionally featured ''[[Super Mario World]]'' with updated graphics. Unlike the original, it was never released in Japan.

During development, the Japanese developers called this game "Mario Extravaganza".<ref>''Nintendo''. [https://web.archive.org/web/20101122103840/http://us.wii.com/iwata_asks/super-mario-all-stars/vol2_page4.jsp Iwata Asks: Super Mario All-Stars]. Retrieved November 22, 2010.</ref>

 

In 2010, the game was re-released on the [[Wii]] as part of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' 25th anniversary, under the title ''[[Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition]]''. The game was initially released with a [[Super Mario History 1985-2010|''Mario'' history booklet]] and a CD containing songs and sound effects from various games. It would later be released again on [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]] on September 3, 2020 as part of the 35th anniversary of ''Super Mario Bros.''<ref>Nintendo (September 3, 2020). [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_UcjEq2Dgk Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct]. ''YouTube''. Retrieved September 3, 2020.</ref>

Generally, most of the sound effects have been recreated, or replaced with their ''[[Super Mario World]]'' counterparts. Some of the sound effects have been replaced by other sound effects from said game as well; for example, the "stomping" sound effect is now the same as when Mario [[Spin Jump]]s a spiked enemy in ''Super Mario World'', and the sound effect that plays when boss enemies are damaged in ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' is now the same as when Mario stomps on [[Chargin' Chuck]]s or a [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] in ''Super Mario World''. Additionally, the soundfont used for the rearrangements of the original music is that used for the music of ''Super Mario World''. As noted in the respective sections below, with the exception of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' (which had such from the start), there is now background music for the title screens, each of which playing a cover version of the underwater level theme composed of a harmonica, harp, and jazz-styles respectively.

====Graphics====

[[File:SMAS title screen.png|thumb|left|The title screen for this game.]]

There are graphical enhancements for all settings. Grassland levels have grass on the ground (the ground is no longer made of blocks). All levels have backgrounds (for example, levels that take place at night have a twinkling star background, while athletic levels either have a waterfall background for those with elevated grass platforms and bridge levels have pillars with Goomba statues on top of them as supports). [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.)|Worlds 3]], [[World 5 (Super Mario Bros.)|5]], and [[World 7 (Super Mario Bros.)|7]] make their being in a setting covered in snow more clear by adding snow to the ground, as originally, it was only implied to be covered in snow due to the bushes being white (this does not affect gameplay). Underground levels show a wall in the background. Underwater levels have a distortion effect. Many levels that had snow in the original Japanese ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' do not have it in the ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' edition, including [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|Worlds 3-3]], [[World 7-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|7-1]], [[World 7-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|7-2]], [[World 7-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|7-3]], [[World 8-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|8-1]], [[World C-3|C-3]], [[World D-1|D-1]], [[World D-2|D-2]], and [[World D-3|D-3]]. Snow was introduced into [[World C-1]], although it is only an aesthetic difference. Green [[Koopa Troopa]]s are always green (as opposed to being teal in underground levels.) The color of [[Blooper]]s was changed from white to pink (including even the flying Bloopers in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''), and gray [[Cheep Cheep]]s are now green. [[Bullet Bill]]s' arms are now animated, and [[Bowser]] now resembles his ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' design. [[World 6-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 6-3]] in the first game and Worlds 7-3 and C-3 in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' are now depicted as having the same color standard as in [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.)|Worlds 3-3]] and [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|2-3]], respectively, as originally, they were completely monochrome. There are parallax scrolling layers in the background. Secret underground levels have a picture of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] showing a V sign in the background, which are labeled "Bonus". This is also seen in [[Coin Heaven]]. Underground levels like [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]] place an echo effect on all sounds. Lava is no longer just a recolor of water and is boiling. ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' do not have the same graphics as each other to begin with. For instance, the ground is covered by blocks in most of the levels of the original, whereas the ground is mainly covered by dirt in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. In ''Super Mario All-Stars'', the graphics of all the games were improved, and ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' was made to look exactly the same as the graphically-improved version of ''Super Mario Bros.'' released on the same cartridge. [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]]'s graphics were made to look exactly the same as the graphics within the rest of the worlds, unlike the deliberately glitch-like appearance from the original game.

 

Luigi is now no longer a simple recolor of Mario, the Bros.' standing pose is different and now resembles their design from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', but with the shirt and overall colors swapped and recolored, and [[Fire Mario]] and Fire Luigi are no longer colored the same, having the shirt/overall colors swapped (Mario got a blue shirt and red overalls (similar to Mario's original outfit from his debut in ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' and his outfit in the DIC cartoons) while Fire Mario got a red shirt and white overalls (similar to Super Mario's outfit from the DIC cartoons), and Luigi got a purple shirt and green overalls (similar to Luigi's outfit from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' and his outfit in the DIC cartoons) while Fire Luigi got a green shirt and white overalls (similar to Super Luigi's outfit from the DIC cartoons)). When a brother enters a bigger castle, he takes the middle door rather than the left one. Before vanishing in a door, he shows a V sign with his fingers. The Bros. also show a V sign when entering a pipe from above. The sprites for power-up items and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are now based on their ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' counterparts as well.

 

As opposed to simply standing on the ground, [[Toad (species)|Toads]] are now found in sacks, which they somehow escape from after Mario or Luigi come. Also, rather than rescuing a single Toad in every castle, the player rescues multiple Toads based on the world they are in (two Toads in [[World 2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 2]], three Toads in [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3]], and so on). They always have a different animation when Mario rescues them from a sack. The final scene where Mario rescues Princess Toadstool has also been changed. She is now held in a cage above lava which Mario (or Luigi, if the player is playing as him) jumps into from the side, and if the player is [[Small Mario]], a [[Super Mushroom]] will drop down and make him [[Super Mario]]. There is then a zoom-in showing Toadstool kissing Mario on the cheek; in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', he blushes; in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', his eyes become heart-shaped except in [[World D]], where he blushes. The endings of both games were also made uniform. The walkthrough map included in ''Nintendo Power'' issue 52 (September 1993), however, indicated that it was originally planned that the ending would be similar to that of the original ''Super Mario Bros.''<ref>https://twitter.com/Arc_Hound/status/1074723433508978688</ref> In World 8-4 of both games, the text now says, ''"Thank you Mario/Luigi! The kingdom is saved! Now try a more difficult quest..."'' rather than ''"Thank you Mario! Your quest is over. We present you a new quest. Push button B to select a world."'' in the first game, or ''"Peace is paved/With the kingdom saved/Hurrah to Mario (Luigi)/Our only hero/This ends our trip/After a long friendship."'' in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. In World [[Hard Mode|*]]8-4 in the first game and World D-4 in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', the text has been changed to ''"Thank you Mario/Luigi for restoring peace to our kingdom. Hurrah to our hero, Mario/Luigi!"''.

 

The bricks of [[fortress]]es, [[castle]]s and the castle walls of [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'' and [[World 8-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|Worlds 8-2]], [[World 8-3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|8-3]] and [[World D-3|D-3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' are made more distinct from the normal Brick Blocks. Originally, they were normal bricks, but could not be broken and were only scenery. Bowser's Castle is distinguished from the other castles by having thunder and lightning occur in the background.

 

[[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9]]'s water stages now have proper underwater background.

 

For unknown reasons, in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' [[Fire Mario|Fire Mario/Luigi]] (while airborne or underwater) is not completely animated when throwing [[fireball]]s, just like how water and lava weren't animated in the original games.

The player starts out with five lives instead of three, and gaining more than 128 lives just maxes out the life counter at 128, unlike the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] version where the next display of the lives screen gives a [[Game Over]]. The level introduction screen, which shows how many lives the player has remaining, also gives a brief overview of up to 5 enemies appearing in the level, excluding Piranha Plants. For example, the World 1-1 introduction shows [[Goomba]]s and [[Koopa Troopa]]s. The castle introductions only show Bowser, even if other enemies appear in the level.

 

Destroying a [[Brick Block]] has a different effect. Originally, Mario and Luigi rebound downward quickly just like hitting any indestructible block. In ''Super Mario All-Stars'', however, he continues going upwards, then falls back down more slowly. These two installments in ''Super Mario All-Stars'' are the only ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' games to ever have this effect; even in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', Mario and Luigi rebound downward quickly like in the original NES version. Mario gets hurt if he hits the upper mouth of [[Piranha Plant]]s, while in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', the upper pixels of the Piranha Plant's mouth do not harm Mario or Luigi.

 

There were several bug fixes. An extra block was added on top of the pipe at the end of underwater levels, preventing Mario from getting stuck in this place as it was possible in the original game. When Mario has more than nine lives, they are displayed correctly. Glitches such as [[Minus World]], Mushroom Magic, Small Fire Mario and Stuck Underwater were fixed and removed, although Mario can still walk through the wall into the [[Warp Zone]]. The left pipe will still warp to [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]], however.

 

Time is converted to points in castle levels.

 

During a Game Over, the player is asked to continue, save and continue, or save and quit. Mario or Luigi appears at the bottom, next to the logo of the current game (this also applies on the Time Up screen). Similarly, this Game Over screen replaces World 9's unique Game Over screen, and thus cuts out "Mario"'s message to the player.

 

In [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-3]] of ''Super Mario Bros.'', the separate brick walls in the background are now replaced with a single, continuous wall, thus revealing the existence of a hidden coin block hidden in the last wall of the original version (whose existence is only given away by a faint white line located just above it).

 

In the more difficult quest, there is now a star to the left of the world's name and number. Since Mario/Luigi's form, coins, and score are retained upon starting the second quest, this marks the only time he ever gets a [[Fire Flower]] from the first [[? Block]] (after the first [[Goomba]]) containing a power-up.

 

In a two-player game, the second player now starts after the first player finishes a level as well as after he/she loses a life, and vice versa.

 

''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' can be saved at any time. Unlike in ''Super Mario Bros.'' on the same cartridge, the game remembers the exact level the player is on, and not just the world. According to the instruction booklet, this is because the game is much harder than the original.

 

Players only have to beat the game once to reach [[World A|Worlds A]] through [[World D|D]].

 

In the secret section of [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 1-2]] (where the player enters the pipe to World 4), the water pools were replaced by lava. However, the effects are the same: if Mario falls in, he loses one life. Similarly, the water in the first pit encountered in the level (after the Koopa Paratroopa) is removed in the SNES version.

 

In World 8, the [[Hammer Bro]]thers perpetually charge at the player. On the SNES, this behavior was added to Worlds 7, [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|9]] and Worlds A-D as well.

 

In the original game, Bowser and his fakes only have hammers in Worlds 6-8. The SNES remake gives them hammers in Worlds 9 and A-D, as well, although they lose their ability to breathe fire.

 

The [[fake Bowser]]s in Worlds A-C now have new true forms (a red Koopa Troopa, a Cheep Cheep, and a Bullet Bill, respectively), and Bowser's death animation in World D is corrected (his sprite is simply flipped upside-down instead of turning into an upside-down Spiny). Similarly, the Blue Bowsers in Worlds 8-4 and D-4 are simply regular Fake Bowsers due to them looking exactly alike and are no longer blue.

 

The green [[Super Spring]]s of [[World B-1]] and [[World B-3]] were changed to red [[Springboard]]s.

 

The castle terrain of World 9-3 (whose background is sky blue instead of black) are now recolored brown instead of gray like in the original (and in the ending cutscene).

 

Due to the castle walls in Worlds 8-2, 8-3, and D-3 being replaced, the Brick Blocks hidden within them are now [[Hidden Block]]s instead.

 

The player can play World 9's levels as many times as they like upon unlocking it via the level select. Originally, the player could only do so once.

 

All Goombas in Worlds A, B, C, and D are replaced with [[Buzzy Beetle]]s.

The games' soundtrack was enhanced. New "happier" background music plays in secret bonus rooms and Coin Heavens, instead of the normal underground and Starman theme, respectively. The ground theme has additional instrument notes and changes. There is also a new [[Bowser]] battle music, which starts when the player reaches a [[fake Bowser]] in a [[castle]]. The Bowser battle music is different for the real Bowser, however; that music plays in [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.)|World]] [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|8-4]] and [[World D (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World D-4]]. Although there are some exceptions in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', going through a pipe generally no longer resets the music. In [[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.)|World ]][[World 8 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|8-4]], the underwater area now uses castle music rather than water music. The title screen for both games now has a cover version of the underwater theme from ''Super Mario Bros.'' playing in the background: with a harmonica in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and a harp in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. A chime or buzz will sound depending on whether Mario takes the correct path in World 4-4, 7-4 and 8-4 in the first game, and in World 3-4, 5-3, 6-4, 7-2 and 8-4 in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''. When the timer reaches the last 100 seconds, the music speeds up uninterrupted while the warning simultaneously plays, as in ''Super Mario World''. The underground levels use the enhanced version of the upbeat underground music from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' instead of the basic/simple one from the original NES/[[Family Computer|Famicom]] game, and when Princess Toadstool is rescued, the music that plays is an enhanced version of the rescue song's extended version from ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', which is how [[Koji Kondo]] originally composed the theme, whereas the one from the original was as basic as it was simply due to the Famicom's storage limitations.<ref>''shmuplations''. [http://shmuplations.com/kojikondo/ Koji Kondo – 2001 Composer Interview]. Retrieved November 29, 2016.</ref>

The backgrounds of the levels have also been given more detailed add-ons such as clouds, trees, etc. The [[mushroom]] that allows the hero to get an extra [[heart]] is rounder and has fewer white spots than the original (giving it an appearance more similar to a [[Super Mushroom]]). Also, when transitioning to different areas within each level, the screen now fades through black as opposed to platforms and objects disappearing to the background changing color and new platforms and objects appearing.

 

Also, the final boss battles from [[World 1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|Worlds 1]]-[[World 6 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|6]] have background tiles that resemble {{wikia|nintendo|N&B Block}}s (toys that [[Nintendo]] created in 1968 to compete against the popular {{wp|Lego}} brand) as opposed to simply bricks.

 

Due to a controversy over the original manual, Birdo is now female, however, the end credits still have the same names and spellings as the original.

 

The Subcon fairies now have a slightly different sprite, with their heads having a rounder shape, smaller eyes, more defined ears, and pointy hair.

The music within the game has also been retouched and several sound effects from the characters have also been changed (such as when the hero picks up a [[vegetable]], [[Mushroom Block]], [[POW Block]], or enemy). The spike area in [[World 5-2 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-2]] no longer uses the underworld music, but it uses the overworld music instead. The final areas in [[World 2-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|Worlds 2-3]], [[World 3-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|3-3]], and [[World 4-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|4-3]] no longer use the boss music before picking up the [[Crystal Ball]] to enter the [[Mask Gate]] to face the final boss of each world. The world boss victory music is now slightly slower. For the endings, the music for the ceremony before the credits is now orchestrated, and the music for the ending credits with Mario waking up and then snoozing back to sleep is now shortened and no longer starts out with extra rhythm, making it slightly less referential to ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]''. The [[Subspace]] music reuses the same [[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)|Ground Theme]] arrangement as the ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' remakes, albeit with the introduction omitted.

*[[Birdo]] has a different sound effect for her egg attack.

====Other====

*Saving is now possible and the game has unlimited continues instead of only three in the NES version.

*Players can now start on any level based on each file's progress being saved, and no longer need to start from the beginning unless the file is erased.

*After a character loses a life, the player has the option to select another character. Originally, they were restricted to the character they initially chose until they got a game over.

*The non-highlighted characters on the Player Select screen are now gray instead of blue.

*The Game Over and Subspace Warp screens now has the title's red-and-gold border and features Birdo as opposed to just white letters on a black background.

*Birdos spit out the Crystal Ball when defeated. In the NES game, Birdos held the crystal ball. The same applies to the red Birdo with the key in World 7-2. Unless the player leaves and reenters their rooms, Birdoes also do not reappear if their crystal balls are grabbed.

*On the [[Bonus Chance]] screen after the player completes each level and advances onto the next level, the three slots are now slightly larger and act like mechanical ones as opposed to digital. If the player matches all three slots or at least has a Cherry first, the screen now flashes along with the happy fanfare. The lucky seven is introduced, and will grant the player an additional ten lives if all three slots match. Players will also be granted extra coins of service if the player manages to get some bonuses correct (or at least have the Cherry first) in a row. On the other hand, if the player completes the level without picking up any Bonus Coins from Subspace, the three empty slots on the Bonus Chance screen are now black instead of white, and the words "NO BONUS" appear just after the opening fanfare. If the player collected more than ten coins in a stage, the coin counter is displayed properly. In the NES version however, it is displayed as a letter, similarly to hexadecimal (10 = A, 11 = B and so on).

*When Wart is defeated, the music stops playing instead of continuing before the secret door appears. He also makes the sound of a [[Koopaling]] being defeated and an airship being relocated on his last hit before being defeated.

*Ironically, on World 4-2, in the second area with whales that spray water as an elevation, the spraying SFX will get muted if the player grabs a Cherry, picks up or throws an enemy or object, does the Power Squat Jump, etc; which doesn't happen in the original version.

*The characters' jumping position was tweaked, no longer raising both arms.

==== Graphics ====

*Most sprites are recolored to closer resemble their in-game artwork (such as integrating the blue of Mario and Luigi's overalls in all sprites, not just the one seen in the Spade mini-game). Additionally, the sides of the screen are drawn properly, and fireballs and power-ups no longer change color in certain areas, instead being consistently colored throughout the game.

*The logo on the title screen uses slightly altered shapes for the letters, comes in four colors (pink, orange, green and blue), and gains a 3D appearance and subtler shadows.

*Kings were given slight redesigns, and get transformed into characters from other ''Mario'' games:  

**[[Desert Land|World 2]] &ndash; Original: spider/silkworm; remake: [[Hoopster]]

**[[Water Land|World 3]] &ndash; Original: kappa/[[Spike]]; remake: purple [[Dino Rhino]]

*In battle mode, the cards are colored blue instead of red, the POW Block is colored green instead of blue, Mario and Luigi's score boxes use their respective personal colors, and the winning brother flashes the V sign at the end of the battle.

*Like the Famicom and original North American NES releases, the ending of the game has all worlds except Grass Land referred to under a unique set of names instead of using the versions from the manual (for example, Desert Land is renamed Desert Hill, while Water Land is renamed Sea Side instead of Ocean Side), and now has stills of each world's gameplay replace the simpler illustrations reviewing each world in the NES version. As a result, three unique-looking sprites found only in the original version's ending when Giant Land, Sky Land, and Ice Land are reviewed that do not appear anywhere during actual gameplay do not return in the SNES version. After the ending is finished, the words "Press Start" will appear on the end card, even though the game will still return to the title screen like in the NES version (only in international releases, the Japanese version freezes after the end card is shown, requiring the player to reset the game to continue playing). Additionally, the 28 [[P-Wing|Magic Wing]]s received after the NES version's ending do not return, which is also the case in the Famicom version.

==== Music and sound effects ====

*A jazz cover of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' underwater theme now plays on the title screen, unlike in the NES version, which was silent.

*A musical cue appears during the Princess Toadstool letter segments of every world barring World 7. Originally, the only letter that had any musical cue was Bowser's letter after completing World 7, which had bars from the beginning of the boss theme music.

*The Airship music's last set of rhythms before repeating the song has more tune than the original. Also, when it repeats, it goes back to the first set of musical notes instead of repeating it whole where the intro measures can now only be heard once.

*When Mario fights the Boomerang Brother in the [[World 8-Big Tanks|first set of tanks]], it now plays the regular Hammer Brother theme instead of the Airship theme continuing throughout the fight.

*The Airship's sound when relocating as well as the sound a Koopaling makes when defeated is given a lower pitch to sound more like a roar.

==== Gameplay ====

[[File:Super Mario All-Stars Player's Guide.jpg|thumb|right|[[Nintendo Player's Guide]]]]

*The [[Mario Bros. (game)|2-Player Battle Game]] is available from the title screen, slightly different from the one accessible from the map in a two-player game. It introduces the [[Reverse Mushroom]], which would later reappear in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''.

*The ''All-Stars'' version uses both of the {{button|snes|X}} and {{button|snes|Y}} buttons as run buttons, like in ''Super Mario World''. Although it makes little difference for most scenarios, one difference is Fire Mario can take out a Koopa while holding it.

*[[Whistle]]s cannot be used while on the boat in the world map of World 3.

*The [[Ice Block]]s in [[World 3-9 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-9]] are made a half-curve, fixing a glitch involving throwing the Ice Blocks and then doing a crouching jump to go down the right side of the pipe.

*In [[World 4-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-4]], the water level is now the same height. As a result while in the original the water level was higher before the wall and lower after it, here it's the other way around (the water is lower before the wall but higher after).

*The Ice Block structure in [[World 7-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-5]] was moved to the right, fixing a glitch similar to the one in World 3-9.

==References to other games==

 

*''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'': The design for the king of Pipe Maze's transformation in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' being a Yoshi (instead of a Piranha Plant in the original) would eventually inspire Yoshi's design in this game.

*In the Japanese version, when the player presses START at the game's title screen, it would transition to the Game Select Screen regardless if the lights were on or off and if the music was still playing and no matter what the characters' animation poses were set at. In international versions, if the player presses START and goes to the Game Select Screen, the lights would turn on, music would stop playing, and characters' poses would return to their original positions before the transition.

*The advertisement for the Japanese version, due to it being released around the time of the [[Super Mario Bros.
