'''''Super Mario All-Stars''''' (also known as '''''Super Mario Collection''''' in Japan), is a compilation of remakes for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] (the Super Famicom in Japan). It ports ''[[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 the first time that ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' was released for the western public.

This game was re-released again as ''[[Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World]]'', which, quite obviously, additionally featured ''[[Super Mario World]]''. It was never released in Japan.

During development, the Japanese developers called this game "Mario Extravaganza".

In 2010, the game was once again re-released 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|Mario history booklet]] and a CD containing songs and sound effects from various games.

==Changes to ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''==

There are graphical updates for all settings. Overworld levels have grass on the ground. All levels have background art (for example, levels that take place at night have a twinkling star background). Worlds 3, 5, and 7 now take place in a setting covered in snow (this does not affect gameplay). Underground levels show a wall in the background. Water levels have a distortion effect. 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, and gray [[Cheep-Cheep]]s are now green. [[Bullet Bill]]s' arms are now animated, and [[Bowser]] now resembles his [[Super Mario Bros. 3|''Super Mario Bros. 3'']] design. There are parallax scrolling layers in the background. Secret underground levels have an image of [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] showing a V sign in the background, which are labeled "Bonus". This is also seen in [[Coin Heaven]].

Luigi is now no longer a palette swap of Mario, the Bros.' standing pose is different, resembling the sprites from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', and [[Fire Mario]] and Fire Luigi are no longer colored the same. 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.

As opposed to simply standing on the ground, Toads are now found in sacks, which they somehow escape from after Mario or Luigi come. There also are now two Toads in World 2, three Toads in World 3, four Toads in World 4, and so on. They always have a different animation when Mario rescues them from a sack. The final scene where Mario rescues [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] has also been changed. She is now held in a cage above lava which Mario jumps into from the side, and if the player is [[Small Mario]], a Mushroom will rain down and make him [[Super Mario]]. Then there is 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, but in [[World D]], he blushes due to Toadstool already kissing him multiple times.

 

The bricks for each [[fortress]] are more distinguishable from the normal bricks. Originally, they were normal bricks, but could not be broken. Bowser's Castle is distinguished from the other castles by having thunder and lightning occur in the background.

 

The originally gray-colored World 6-3 is now colored normally.

 

===Gameplay===

The player starts out with five lives instead of three. There is a level introduction screen which gives a brief overview of all enemies appearing in the level.

 

Breaking a [[Brick Block]] has a different effect. Originally, Mario/Luigi would quickly fall down. In ''Super Mario All-Stars'', however, he continues going upwards, then slowly goes back down. In all Mario games except ''Super Mario All-Stars'', and even in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'',  he bounces down quickly, as he did in NES. Mario gets hurt if he hits the upper mouth of [[Piranha Plants]], while in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'', the upper pixels of the Piranha Plant's mouth does not harm Mario. Unlike the All-Stars versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', only the run button can be used at one time.

 

There were several bug fixes. An extra block was added on top of the pipe at the end of water levels, preventing Mario from getting stuck in this place as it was possible in the original game. When Mario has more than 9 lives, they are displayed correctly. Glitches such as [[Minus World]] were removed, although Mario can still walk through the wall into the [[Warp Zone]]. The leftmost pipe will warp to [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4]], however.

 

During a game over, the player is asked to continue, save and continue, or save and quit. Mario/Luigi appears at the bottom, next to the logo of the game.

 

In ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', the game can be saved after clearing a level rather than a world.

 

In World 8-3, 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 Hard Mode, there is now a star to the left of the world's name and number. Since Mario/Luigi now starts Hard Mode as either Super or Fire Mario/Luigi, this marks the only time he ever gets a Fire Flower from the first ? Block (after the first Goomba) containing a power-up.

In 2 player mode, the second player now starts after the first player finishes a level rather than after he/she loses a life, and vice versa.

=== Music ===

The entire music of the game was updated. A new "happier" background music plays in secret underground areas and the Coin Heaven, instead of the normal underground theme. There is also a new [[Bowser]] battle music, which starts when the player reaches a [[False Bowser]] in a [[castle]]. The Bowser battle music is different for the real Bowser, however; that music plays in World 8-4 and World D-4. Although there are some exceptions in ''The Lost Levels'', going through a pipe generally no longer resets the music. In World 8-4, the underwater area now uses castle music rather than water music.

==Changes to ''Super Mario Bros. 2''==

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]]).

 

Due to a mistranslation in the original manual, Birdo is now female.

===Music===

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]] or enemy). The spike area in World 5-2 does not use cave music, but it uses overworld music instead.

===Other===

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

*After a character loses a life, the player can now select any character. Originally, he or she must play with the character who lost a life.

*Life points have now a heart shape, opposed to diamonds on the NES version.

*Some levels that originally take place during the day now take place at night and vice-versa.

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

*The first area in [[world 4-2]] now becomes underground(in the original,it is a overworld area).

==Changes to ''Super Mario Bros. 3''==

*All sprites are the same, except they have been recolored. Additionally, Luigi is no longer a recolored Mario sprite.

*All levels are given remastered backgrounds, instead of plain blue, yellow and black backgrounds.

*Underground areas get a more realistic look. All invisible blocks there are now hidden completely with no white dots indicating their presence.

*A Battle Game is available from the title screen, slightly different from the one accessible from the map in a 2-player game. It introduces the [[Reverse Mushroom]].

*The [[Toad House#White Toad Houses|White Mushroom Houses]] are colored blue, not white.

*Mario's last life before a Game Over is "1"; in the NES it is "0".

*"Mario Start!" and "Luigi Start!" are now displayed when starting a level, similarly to ''[[Super Mario World]]''.

*Some inventory items change color; [[Raccoon Leaf]] is brown; [[Starman]] is gold; [[Anchor]] is silver; [[Fire Flower]] is orange. Additionally, the Super Mushroom is now colored red with white spots, though it keeps its original look while in the inventory, which has been changed from pink to blue.

*Inside bonus rooms, there is a new background made out of diamonds and question marks.

*Kings get transformed into characters from other ''Mario'' games:  

**[[Grass Land]] – Original: [[dog]]; remake: [[Cobrat]].

**[[Desert Hill]] – Original: spider; remake: [[Hoopster]].

**[[Sea Side]] – Original: kappa; remake: purple [[Dino Rhino]].

**[[Big Island]] – Original: [[dinosaur]]; remake: [[Donkey Kong Junior]].

**[[The Sky]] – Original: bird; remake: [[Albatoss]].

**[[Iced Land]] – Original: seal; remake: [[Monty Mole]].

**[[Pipe Maze]] – Original: [[Venus Fire Trap]]; remake: [[Yoshi]].

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

*Three coins were added to [[Desert Hill#World 2-2|World 2-2]], meaning that Mario can get the White Mushroom House without collecting any from the group located far away from the P-Switch.

*There is no longer time limit in map-traveling [[Warp Pipe]]s.

*The [[Ice Block]]s in [[Water Land#World 3-9|3-9]] are made a half-curve, fixing a glitch involving shooting the Ice Blocks and then doing a duck jump to go down the side of the pipe.

*The first Toad House in Iced Land now has a [[Hammer Suit]] so that Mario can get a Hammer Suit without having to do 6-5.

*The [[Ice Block]] structure in [[Pipe Land#World 7-5|World 7-5]] was moved to the right, fixing a glitch similar to the one in World 3-9.

*In the second World 7 Piranha Plant level, the Pipe at the end of the screen was heightened with a block added at the very top so that [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki]] Mario cannot fly to the top of the Pipe and lose a life.

*The [[Dark Land|World 8-Fortress]] get more complex by having two sides both colored blue (as opposed to a blue side and a gray side).

*In the Mushroom Houses, Mario can move three seconds into the dialogue rather than waiting until the dialogue completes.

*The pictures on the cards at the end of each level have been colored in.

*Saving is now possible.

*New map icons for the Boomerang Bro., Fire Bro., and Sledge Bro. have been implemented. However, the Sledge Bro.'s map icon is merely a green Hammer Bro.; this was fixed in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

*Beanstalks that grow in The Sky and [[Iced Land|World 6]] are now green. Also, all Airships are now brown.

*While inside the tank in Dark Land, the music changes to Hammer Bro. battle music. Originally, it doesn't change at all.

*In the cutscene where Mario falls down from an [[Airship]], the sky also changes from night to day.

*In 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).

*Pile Driver Microgoombas now shine like the other bricks, making them much harder to find.

*The unique white 1-Up mushroom in World 6-3 is now colored normally.
