*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).

**Almost every overworld level except for the ones taking place at night feature mountains in the background, even the ones that originally used the trees-and-fences scenery.

**[[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.

**Due to the improved color palette of the SNES, color schemes are now more consistent depending on the level environment, as opposed to having their own unique color scheme due to the NES having a limited color palette: green enemies and items are always green (as opposed to being teal in underground and castle levels and gray in underwater levels). (This applies to [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]thers, the outline of a [[Lakitu]], the spots of a [[1-Up Mushroom]], [[Super Spring]]s, and [[wind]].)

**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.

**Goombas, which are normally brown, stay blue in underground levels; but become brownish gray in castle levels (in contrast to the original game where they are light gray in castle levels). Only underwater Goombas now being recolored into their "normal" colors.

**Warp Pipes now only come in two colors (green and silver, the latter only appearing in "winter" levels) instead of four (green, silver, orange, and purple, the last two only appearing in World 4-2's second Warp Zone leading to Worlds 6, 7, and 8 and World 8-4's brief underwater section, respectively; they are more common in ''The Lost Levels''), and all pipes seen inside castles are now colored green instead of silver.

**[[Bullet Bill]]s' arms are now animated.  

**[[Bowser]] and the [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowsers]] now resemble the former's design used since ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

***They are also more expressive, looking surprised when hit by a fireball once and dazed after multiple hits, as well as having an animation for falling into lava that now has a splashing animation.

**[[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.

*Shells are now shown spinning after being kicked, and now turn upside down if the player is near an edge when they jump on them.

*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 boils.

*''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' had most of its graphics made updated to be consistent with the remade original game, whereas the original Famicom versions do not have the same graphics as each other.

**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.

**The wall before the flagpole near the end of World 5-1 in ''The Lost Levels'', originally made out of ground tiles, is now made out of blocks as if it were a staircase.

*Luigi is 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.

**[[Fire Mario]] and Fire Luigi are also no longer colored the same, having the shirt/overall colors swapped; Mario received 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 received a red shirt and white overalls (similar to Super Mario's outfit from the DIC cartoons), and Luigi received 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 received 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 faces the screen and shows a V sign with his fingers.

***The Bros. also do this when entering a pipe from above.

*The sprites for power-up items and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] are now based on their updated ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' counterparts as well.

**[[Super Mushroom]]s are red with white spots instead of orange with red spots, and [[1-Up Mushroom]]s are green with white spots instead of orange with green spots.

*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; completing Worlds A-C in ''The Lost Levels'' will now result in Mario/Luigi rescuing five, six, and seven Toads, respectively).

**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 (form)|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: there is no Warp Door in ''The Lost Levels'' leading to Peach after Bowser or fake Bowser (in the original) is defeated, and there is no cutscene showing the black background in the castle levels turning sky blue and the seven Toads returning and circling Mario/Luigi and Peach and exclaiming "Thank you Mario/Luigi!". The walkthrough map included in ''Nintendo Power'' Volume 52, however, indicated that it was originally planned that the ending would be similar to that of the original ''Super Mario Bros.''<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' issue 52|date=September 1993|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=21}}</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 Block|brick]]s.

**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 levels now have a proper underwater background.

**The gray-colored enemies in this world, including [[Goomba]]s and green [[Koopa Troopa]]s and [[Koopa Paratroopa|Paratroopa]]s, are all now colored normally.

*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 were not animated in the original games.

*In ''Super Mario Bros.'', World 8-4's short underwater section has a regular sky background, just like a normal underwater level. However, in ''Super Mario All-Stars'', the background is black.

*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 five enemies appearing in the level, excluding Piranha Plants.

**For example, the World 1-1 introduction shows Goombas and Koopa Troopas.

**The castle introductions only show Bowser, even if other enemies appear in the level.

**Worlds 2-3 and 6-3 show the fewest non-Bowser, non-Piranha Plant enemies in the screen, with only one each: Cheep Cheeps and Bullet Bills in the former and latter, respectively.

**Despite some levels such as Worlds 5-2 and 6-2 from the first ''Super Mario Bros.'' featuring hidden underwater sections, and therefore featuring Bloopers and Cheep Cheeps among the enemies encountered, those enemies are not featured in their respective screens.

*Destroying a [[Brick Block|brick]] 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 ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super 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.

**Similarly to the original games' PAL revision, an extra block was added on top of the pipe at the end of underwater levels, preventing Mario and Luigi from getting stuck.

**When Mario has more than nine lives, they are displayed correctly.

*Jumping over a flagpole, although only possible in some non-castle levels, will no longer result in Mario/Luigi being trapped in an endless looping void until the time runs out should the flagpole disappear offscreen if they venture too far; instead, the level stops scrolling once the fortress/castle is in full view, and an invisible barrier at the right side of the screen prevents Mario/Luigi from venturing further beyond the other side of the flagpole.

*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 ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', if the player decides to continue after a Game Over, they will start over at the beginning of the current level, rather than the current world as in the original version. In ''Super Mario Bros.'', however, they will start over at the beginning of the world, just like in the original when the player does the special button combination after losing all their lives.

*In [[World 8-3 (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).

**Additionally, the scenery behind the brick walls in the original are now in front of the walls and therefore are now completely visible.

*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]] 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 they lose a life, and vice versa, like in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

*''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 complete ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' 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 this version.

*In World 8, the [[Hammer Bro]]thers perpetually charge at the player. On the SNES, this behavior was added to [[World 7 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|Worlds 7]], [[World 9 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|9]] and 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 [[Impostor Bowser|fake Bowsers]] in Worlds A-C now have new true forms (a red Koopa Troopa, a Cheep Cheep, and a Bullet Bill, respectively), and the final fake Bowser in World D (actually a Spiny) is replaced with the actual Bowser.

**Similarly, the [[Bowser's Brother]]s in Worlds 8-4 and 9-3 are now indistinguishable from the real Bowser due to them looking exactly alike and are no longer blue, while the fake Bowser's Brother in World D (also a Spiny) is replaced with the actual, although recolored, Bowser's Brother.

*The green [[Super Spring]]s of [[World B-1]] and [[World B-3]] were changed to red [[Trampoline|Jumping board]]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 bricks 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 world would keep looping back upon itself until the player received a Game Over, after which they had to restart the game from the beginning if they wanted to replay World 9.

*All Goombas in Worlds A, B, C, and D are replaced with [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. As a result, World 8-1 (or World 9-4, if no Warp Zones were used) is the last normal level where Goombas appear in this version.

*Running out of time as Fire Mario will no longer result in the player seeing a dead Mario sprite with Fire Mario's colors.

*In the original version of World 9, the player only had one life, regardless of how many lives were left after beating the first eight worlds without warping, while in ''All-Stars'', they keep the number of lives they had if they beat the first eight worlds without warping.

*Worlds A-C no longer have checkpoints, not even outside castle levels, much like World 8 in both ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''The Lost Levels'', while in the original, only Worlds 8 and D lacked checkpoints outside of castle levels.

*Using any Warp Zone in ''The Lost Levels'', even a backwards Warp Zone, now permanently voids access to World 9 for that save file, unlike in the original, where this rule could potentially be circumvented as it does not apply to backwards Warp Zones (in other words, by warping backwards and then avoiding the Warp Zone for a second time).

**Additionally, if the player beat the first 8 worlds and then used a Warp Zone while completing Worlds A-D, then they will retroactively be banned from accessing World 9 permanently for that save file.

*Lava Bubbles now jump even higher, even going above the screen, therefore allowing Mario/Luigi more time to safely pass under them while jumping over the lava pit below them before they finally descend back into the lava.

*World C-4 is now 400 game seconds long, instead of being 300 game seconds long like in the original.

*Dying by falling into a pit will cause the entire gameplay to freeze immediately as if the player were to die onscreen like taking damage from an enemy or running out of time.

*All invisible Piranha Plants, most notably the one in the underwater section of World 8-4, are now made visible.

*The games' soundtrack was enhanced to accommodate the SNES's increased number of audio channels.

*New "happier" background music plays in secret bonus rooms and Coin Heavens, instead of the normal underground and Starman theme, respectively.  

*There is also a new [[Bowser]] battle music, which starts when the player reaches a [[Impostor Bowser|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 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World ]][[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|8-4]] of both games, the underwater area now uses castle music rather than water music.  

*The title screen for both games now have 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''.

*In a similar vein to the [[N-Mark Spade Panel]] minigame in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and bonus rooms and [[Lemmy]] and [[Wendy]]'s boss battles in ''Super Mario World'', an audio cue (either a chime or error buzzer) 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, 8-4 and D-4 in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''.

*When the timer reaches the last 100 seconds, the [[Hurry Up|warning sound]] is now reused from ''Super Mario World'' and like in that game, the music speeds up uninterrupted while the warning simultaneously plays.

*A sound effect plays when a [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Brother]] or Bowser throw their hammers, whereas in the original it was silent.

*[[Trampoline|Jumping boards]] (including [[Super Spring]]s in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'') now make their "boing" sound from ''Super Mario World'' when jumped on; like hammers, no sound effect played in the original.

*Several enemies got another palette swap. Pink [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s, [[Snifit]]s, and [[Panser]]s are now blue.

*While the original game used green palette in the desert, instead of gray, the green Snifits are replaced by gray ones.

*Gray Pansers and [[Birdo]]s are now exclusively green.

*Green and gray [[Beezo]]s (which only fly straight across) are now red while red ones (which home down to the player) are now yellow.

*Both [[Mouser]]s are now gray.

*[[Tryclyde]]s are now green, making them inaccurate to their artwork.

*The playable characters have had their sprites recolored to match their actual appearance. These inconsistencies were necessary in the original NES version because of the system's limited color palette,  as well as hardware limitations which made it so that sprites could only have three colors.

**[[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] had her hair recolored from brown to blonde, while [[Toad]] had his spots recolored from blue to red. Additionally, Mario and Luigi's overalls were recolored to be distinctly denim-colored, as opposed to dark blue like the original.  

*[[Ostro]]s are now pink instead of black.

*[[Porcupo]]s and [[Ninji]]s are now purple instead of black.

*When a Subspace Warp is used, a new transition effect with music is used, rather than the generic silent fade of the NES version.

*When the characters shrink when they reach down to one remaining heart, their entire bodies shrink instead of just their lower bodies. As such, Toadstool's hair gets shorter when she shrinks into her [[Small Mario|small form]] rather than remaining intact like in the NES original. This was later carried over to [[Super Mario Advance|the GBA remake]], ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'', and in post-Fall 2017 versions of ''[[Super Mario Run]]''.

*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]] has a smaller front-facing white spot than the original.

*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 boss battle rooms in [[World 1 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|Worlds 1]] - [[World 6 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|6]] have terrain tiles that resemble {{fandom|nintendo|N&B Block|N&B Blocks}} (toys that [[Nintendo]] created in 1968 to compete against the popular {{wp|Lego}} brand) as opposed to simply bricks.

*Health points are now shaped like [[heart]]s instead of hexagons, and empty ones are now blue instead of white.

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

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

*The music within the game has also been retouched and several sound effects have also been changed, usually using new sounds (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 rooms before the world bosses' arenas 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.

*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.

*Certain instruments no longer mute when the game is paused.

*The credits scene with Mario sleeping and realizing that his adventure was just a dream is now multi-colored as opposed to being a monochromatic blue, and the background itself is now shades indigo. Players can now save their progress after completing the game without the need to start all over. Additionally, after the ending sequence is finished, the words "Press Start" will now appear on the end card instead of simply freezing, requiring the player to reset the game to continue playing.

====Gameplay====

*Due to the added save feature, there are unlimited continues, rather than only two like in the NES version.

*In 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 does not happen in the original version.

*Most sprites are recolored to closer resemble official artwork. Many other alterations were also made.

**The sides of the screen are drawn properly, rather than appearing only when on-screen like in the original.

**The blue of Mario and Luigi's overalls is now seen in all sprites, not just the larger sprites in the Spade mini-game. Originally, the overalls were black because the proper color could not fit within the palette limitations of the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]].

*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 more detailed lettering and subtler shadows.

*There are no longer levels in which ? Blocks and coins are not animated.

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

*The Airship's sound when relocating as well as the sound a [[Koopalings|Little Koopa]] makes when defeated is given a lower pitch to sound more like a roar.

*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 (species)|Koopa]] while holding it.
