Description:
Super Mario Bros. Special is a follow-up to Super Mario Bros, originally released in Japan in 1986 for the home computer market. The game features 32 all new levels, 5 new enemies and 5 new power-ups. Due to limitations of the PC hardware, the game engine was quite poor in comparison to the Famicom/NES original. Most notable was the lack of scrolling; the PC version would instead show each screen one at a time.
This port brings the levels, new enemies and power-ups back to the Famicom/NES engine. Also included are most of the unique background changes and other features not possible with the original SMB engine. The end result is a much more playable game that feels like a legitimate sequel.

Best version of SMB special out there
Reviewed By: rhinofinger on 30 Oct 2021Hands down the best version of SMB Special that’s playable today. Not much else to say. The colors are reasonably accurate to the original without being as much of an eyesore, the new enemies and powerups are here, everything. It’s great!
