Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
Template:Game infobox alt Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a Game Boy Color game that is an enhanced port of the Nintendo Entertainment System game, Super Mario Bros.. It was developed by Nintendo R&D 2 and published by Nintendo. The game was first released in 1999 in North America, Europe, and Australia before receiving a follow-up release in Japan in 2000, albeit on the Nintendo Power flash RAM service. Aside from the main game, which plays very similar to Super Mario Bros., a few additional modes were added, including a port of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels as an unlockable feature. The game is compatible with the Game Boy Printer, which allows for the player to print various images.
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe serves as a precursor to the Super Mario Advance series on the Game Boy Advance,[1] and is likely why the original Super Mario Bros. was not remade for the Game Boy Advance, although it was ported as a Classic NES Series title (or Famicom Mini in Japan).
In 2014, Super Mario Bros. Deluxe was ported to the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console, first receiving a promotional release in Japan, Europe, and Australia before receiving a regular release in North America as well as in Europe and Australia, where it was re-released at a slightly higher price.
Trivia
- In the source code for Super Mario Advance, Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad each have a voice clip in which they say Super Mario Bros. Deluxe 2 and Super Mario Bros. 2 Deluxe, respectively, suggesting that Super Mario Advance would have been a direct follow-up to Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and a part of the same series.
- One specific similarity that Super Mario Advance has to Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a Yoshi Challenge mode in which Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, or Toad need to find a Yoshi Egg hidden in each level.
