Super Mario All-Stars was developed and published by Nintendo, released for the SNES in 1993 as a compilation remastering Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3 with redrawn 16-bit graphics and re-arranged audio. Beyond the visual overhaul, the collection added a save-file system to games that originally offered none, letting players stop mid-adventure across lengthy titles like Super Mario Bros. 3 for the first time. It gave Western audiences their first official access to The Lost Levels, the notoriously difficult Japan-only sequel to the original Super Mario Bros., alongside three of the best-selling platformers of the NES era. Widely praised for preserving the original games’ level design while modernizing their presentation, Super Mario All-Stars remains one of the most acclaimed compilations in Nintendo’s history.
