The concept of compiling all the NES Mario games together into enhanced editions was actually awesome, and one of the first examples (I think?) of a gaming company recognizing the resellability potential of retro product.
The second edition, which added Super Mario World, was the cherry on top.
later, in 1999 nintendo released super mario bros. deluxe for the game boy color
you can unlock super mario bros. 2 by beating original 1985 mode 2 times. all 32 levels.
then you unlock super mario bros. for super players
or just the super players world
a link to the past was also released in 1991
in japan, it is. super mario bros. 4.
when power rangers the movie was released, super mario alstars plus super mario world a 5 game combo pack was released i think only here in europe
I bought a super nintendo and super mario all stars for like $120 at a pawn shop when me and my fiance got our first apartment together in our twenties. We didnt have cable, internet was newish and in our area still kind of clunky anyway so that was our entertainment for a lkng time. I bet she still has that tucked away somewhere unless she gave it to her niece or something. My first snes that i had as a kid survived a full blown, burned to the ground trailer fire. It went through the fire, being soaked in january and sitting in the remains of the trialer for a few days and when we were allowed to go back and sift through things i found it... smoke stained but otherwise intact. It didnt even erase my Zelda LttP save file. I will always remember that.
Awsome memento
LTTP was my first-ever video game! Glad to hear other people cherish that one on SNES.
The fact that you said “her niece” and not “our niece” is heartbreaking. Lots of love to you brother
You are so lucky! You have a wife. ugh I wish I had someone special in my life.😞
You just can't beat these old Mario games. All Stars was a complete treasure on the SNES.
Technically speaking, this game gives a lot of playtime value with collection but the final ALL STARS collection SMB, SMB 2, SMB3, THE LOST LEVELS, and the hidden arcade game in SMB 3 (sort of) in addition to SM WORLD. Now that's some serious old school value. I wonder if the day will when NINTENDO can give a ALL STARS DELUXE collection featuring every dang SMB game ever in existence?? 😂
Rik mayall was a legend. If you are not from the UK and never come across him before the advert might seem strange. I'd never seen it but found myself laughing.
IT’S THE GAS MAN!!!
What an interesting and thorough video, had much fun watching it ! Thanks for all the work!
Wow. I was only 8 but that intro had me like “1993 really was perfect!”
This video has so much love put into it, I loved it so much! I definitely have to check the rest of your "The Chronicles of Mario" series.
What a well made video, really relaxing and informative.
I used to like playing this compilation with super mario world when I was a child.
This was a great watch, i would have bet i had nothing less to learn about these games. Especially the bit about the western release taking damage and going from power up to tall and not power up to short. Had no idea it was different across regions
Really well put together video, a very pleasant watch🖤 I grew up with my brother's old SNES and the all stars + smw version, and though it was quite dated compared to my friends' ps 3's and 4's, I loved it sm 😭😭
This video was really well made! Great documentary of super mario all stars and all the mario ports in general. Phenomenal video!
I still stand that 1993-1994 are the greatest years in movies and video games.
1939 would like a word.
@@Asfgxff
1939 had no video games.
This was very well crafted. You have a great voice that flows well. It was obvious you know a lot about this subject and you broke it down in an easy to understand way. Thanks for sharing your passion with us.
All Stars was a Christmas present. And I loved it. I only played lost levels once or twice because it was too hard. Also, love the attention to detail you made to this video. It was almost as good as the documentaries the Gaming Historian makes.
Super Mario All-Stars was one of the few games we had for the SNES, the others being Super Mario World, Star Fox, and Super Mario Kart. Our parents didn't buy us an N64 so this was all we had in terms of gaming consoles until the Gamecube's launch, where our parents got it and Super Smash Bros for Xmas. When we sold the SNES and its games to someone because we were clueless kids back then, I did miss out on playing it for real when I grew older. So I bought the rerelease on Wii despite it being a bare-bones rerelease as the Wii's Virtual Console only had the original NES releases of its games for sale, and played it on the Nintendo Switch Online service.
When i was young, all I had for my SNES was this, Super Mario World, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Ms. Pac-Man, Mario's Time Machine, and Mario is Missing. I played quite a few others via rental, though.
It was free ...you haf to mail your receipt to Nintendo to get it i had 2 copies one with SMW and one Without....
Getting big Gaming Historian vibes from this channel/video. Not saying that's a bad thing or accusing of copying. I'm actually really digging it!
I try my best. Norm has always been my inspiration.
It's definitely a welcome thing, especially with his announcement that he's going to be significantly throttling back on his output of material. So glad I found a channel that will still give me that fix!
Fantastic work, had tons of fun watching this!
I grew up with the All Stars + Super Mario World version and the rest is history.The concept of compiling all 8-bit Mario games together into enhanced editions was actually awesome way to introduce people to Mario. Makes me miss the days of playing the All Stars SMB3 with doubled-filled Oreos.
I grew up with this game and I adore it. A lot of good memories attached to it.
Super Mario Bros 2. on All Stars was the second video game I ever beat on my own
One summer after learning about it in Nintendo Power, I tried to get to world 9 in Lost Levels
Countless hours in the Mario Bros. 3 battle mode arcade minigame thing playing with my neighbor across the street (and sometimes my sister)
Good times
Great video! Definitely in the style of great gaming documentaries such as gaming historian and GTV!
The highlight of the video was Rik Mayall, thanks for showing the legend!
Ain't that drop dead fred
I loved playing the lost levels and mario 2 on this compilation. Makes me remember the Christmas days
It's on switch if you have the yearly sub!
Great work, you've earned a subscriber!
SMAS was the my first video game I personally owned. You really did it justice, new subscriber! 😮
Wow, I didn't even notice mario had his own game, Mario's Time Machine. I played all through Mario is Missing, with Luigi. It was one of those games where you didn't get much info about it until you played it. Felt like an interactive World Geography class, lmao!
Nice integration of Ollie's music! Great video!
You just literally made me relive 1993 in mir minutes
Good video. Very nostalgic
Great video. 👌
Very nostalgic.
Thanks. I try my best.
Man, that was some intro! Great job and great transition.. this is good writing
I only ever owned a few SNES games in it's day. Got it for Christmas in 91, the ones I had where awesome. I had final fantasy 2 and 3, a link to the past, and illusion of Gaia. Good times
Always “SUPER” informative 😊
You've just earned a subscriber my friend, keep up the good work.
I finished watching your entire video and I really highly enjoyed it. The editing style reminds me of the gaming historian in a good way of course. I'm not saying that you're like copying him I think some of the editing is inspired by him but at the same time you got your own thing going as well even talking about your own experience playing the games. And that was cool that you got into detail about the other compilations out there. A lot of which I knew about mostly thanks to the internet but some of which I either didn't know about or just forgot about. So you were six in 1994. So was I. Anyways this was a lot of fun to see.
I got this game for Christmas. My mother and I played for hours. Great video buddy.
In my mind it is the worlds first ever remaster in video games
one of the great games I missed back then as Genesis owner.
it was a great watch and very informative.
To be honest I was disappointed at this game at the beginning, I was deceived 😂 I was like 11 years old when we were getting the snes and the seller told us at the store that the snes came with 5 games!! I was so happy, then I realized it was Mario all stars bundled with the snes that already had Mario world , i beat all the Mario games on my nes , I did played the original Mario 2 thanks to a famiclone cartridge though never beat it, I didn’t touch Mario all stars until I beat Mario world I was so hyped to play Mario world that I forgot I had the other game, later I played Mario all stars and I was pleasantly surprised of how new and fresh it felt
22:24 I feel like a lot of the script was inspired by gaming historians Mario 3 and World videos. Either way it’s still a good watch and I enjoyed it
Just found your channel, it's a crime your subscriber count isn't higher, good video.😊
Well, it starting to grow now. More subs, more views, more public watch hours, etc. This video is a major factor in it. Not a full week has passed since I uploaded this video (at the time I typed this comment), and already it's at 4,000 views, much faster than any other video I posted on this channel without promoting!
I bought a Genesis with Sonic pack-in in the early 90s and a month later HAD to get the SNES with Super Mario World! I was in my early 20s and those were awesome times. It wouldn’t be long and I would buy Mario All-Stars and Zelda Link to the Past.
In the end, I would regret my Sega Genesis because cross platform games were always better on SNES and Genesis relied too heavily on the Sonic games. The quality just wasn’t there in my opinion.
It might be the greatest 16 bit game ever
Fantastic work
Mercy...whether Nick C. is playing our favorite retro games or giving us incredible historical retrospectives like this one, his videos are ALWAYS the best. Excellent narration. Brilliant editing, I wish this channel would blow up with 1 million+ subs. He deserves it.
Yooooooooo 30:48 aint that drop dead fred
the NES was out 7-8 years before the SNES. never understood why folk thought it needed to be backwards compatible when most folks still had their console. i understood why SEGA made the converter considering how poor the Master System sold, but this was dumb. I was in high school when the SNES was released. first console i bought with my own money. all i had for the longest was SMW then the mail away SMAS.
great video! you have my sub!!!
The problem was, people put so much money into purchasing NES games that when the Super NES was announced to have no backward compatibility, some felt they as if were ripped off.
Thanks for the sub, BTW.
1993 to 1995 was the golden years of the 90s
Those were cozy times, very cozy times.
You don't talk about 1993 gaming without mentioning the huge phenomoneom that was Doom...
You failed to mention how Luigi's sprite got changed in the Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World collection.
Luigi in super Mario World was originally just a pallet swap of Mario, but in that specific collection, he got a new design that looked like the other games.
I'll bring that up in a short.
Great video!!!
Nice pic on the video, showing Nintendo proud of the 100 millions Mario games sold by 1993.
Now, the number is approaching 900 millions. Amazing!!
lord have mercy did that opening minute warm my heart
Those were such good times.
The Lost levels is one of the reasons my father quit gaming altogether.
you got a new subscriber
33:21 I get to brag that it didn't take me anywhere close to that long to beat all four of the games. As a kid in the '90s I played so much Mario and I also played a lot of Sonic as well as many other games and I was just really good at primarily the Mario games. I got better at the Sonic games when I got older. Although it turns out even though the very first game I ever played in my life was Super Mario world, the very first game I ever beat was Sonic the Hedgehog but yeah I beat all the Super Mario All-Stars games pretty quickly though. The lost levels of course is the one that I beat last However it is Super Mario Bros 2 that I beat first. Actually the order I beat them it's kind of weird. I first beat Super Mario Bros 2, then Super Mario Bros 3, then Super Mario Bros, then the lost levels.
I know that's pretty weird considering the original Super Mario Bros is the easiest game. But yeah I beat all the games in a short time. That includes the lost levels although yes that one I definitely beat last.
One thing that was really funny was I had beaten the lost levels multiple times and hadn't seen world 9, but Then when my brother was watching I guess was the first time I decided beat the whole game without taking any warps and we both were surprised to see world 9 because I didn't even know there was a world nine because I guess all the times I beat it before then I did use at least one warp zone.
Also on a side note the menu where you select which game you want to play on Super Mario All Stars and you probably can already tell this and I'm sure most people can but I just didn't notice you mentioning it in the video is that they play a variation of the Super Mario Bros overworld theme on that menu
One of my most cherished possessions is the Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World cartridge. I love the cartridge inception here; a combo cart of the combo card. But rather than have the opening menu choose between Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World, Nintendo actually put Super Mario World in the All-Stars menu systems. That was fantastic.
I've beaten mario 3 a few times growing up but not 1 and 2 and lost levels until a year or 2 ago on my snes with the game genie
SNES was also the last console I could enjoy as my photosensitivite epilepsy is inhibits my brain from viewing strobe lights and 3D graphics. I was playing resident evil and I fell out through a glass coffee table and bit my tounge half off. I stick to SNES NES and old PC games.
However I was quite happy around 94 when everyone was dumping their NES carts at pawn shops. I bought about 60 NES games for 12 bucks each.
Might have to knock the dust off my physical copy and delve back into it.
Are we talking about supermario allstars or are we talking about the whole history of nintendo and those supermario games,you might could,ve call it ‘nintendo moments in 1993’ because it wouldn’t have make any difference at all,
But aside from that,
Well yeah i was blown away as a kid once i saw supermario allstars, i was mind blown away by it’s graphics and sounds but as an addult, i realize that something was not right as nintendo did had swapped things around in certain cases, for instance those 16bit versions don’t have a high replay because of it’s save feature, they also do lack that sheer from those 8bit versions etc,,, so albeit not bad but they just don’t feel original anymore compared to those nes versions of it.
I get them on emulators now. Great video
Ah gaming in the Clinton years
The only part that didn't age was the sound effects. The music sounded better, but using the Mario World sound effects just sounds wrong now.
I'm sure it was the best they could do for the SNES/SFC at the time. Remember, the game sold for almost 10,000 yen in Japan, which is pretty steep for a Mario game. Adding extra chips for improved sound effects likely would've added at least another 1,000 yen to the price to cover the costs.
@@GamingDelight oh right because they were still hardware generated sounds, not audio files! I forget about how odd the 16 bit era was.
@@mzaiteThey were audio files called samples that were stored in the cartridge rom. Nintendo just reused the audio driver and samples from SMW in Mario All Stars. They would later reuse the same audio driver again for Yoshi's Island, but in that one they created new sound effects and added much more new samples (there are still some SMW sfx though).
@@MaxwelThuThu Oh So it was a choice to use the Mario World sounds, not a Hardware limitation of using system side sound "Fonts"
@@mzaite But the SNES and NES had totally different audio chips. Just re-using the old NES audio files on the SNES chip doesn't work at all. It would have been neccessary to convert the old NES music to the SNES with pretty hardcore precision regarding the sound result. It was pretty difficult to replicate NES sounds on the SNES in general. Like trying to make exact Sega Genesis sounds on the SNES. It was technically even simpler to replicate NES music on the Genesis, as sound chip architecture was somewhat similar.
Check out the Ninja Gaiden compilation on the SNES and experience, how ugly this sounds, when compared to the original.
You forgot to mention Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World. It was available from Nintendo in Late 1993 and 1994. I remember ordering mine but sadly my game never came.
38:45- I didn't.
But also Waco, the end of Czechoslovaki, the release of DOOM, Mumbai riots, my parents got divorced, the battle of Mogadishu...1993 was the best Christmas ever.
Can't list every big event of the year. It would drag the opening on for far longer than necessary.
I got the superset when I was 9. That’s when I first saw the lost levels and saw it was unreleased in USA.
educational? I don't wanna be educated
I prefer Mario reverting to small Mario when hit by an enemy just like in the Japanese version when playing Mario 3 since that is the difficulty I grew up with. Good review and thanks for sharing.
That’s a stupid idea I never liked.
To each his own.
The only thing wrong with the collection, is the physics with Super Mario Bros.
The NES version is better.
Well, there was one flaw with SMB and Lost Levels in All-Stars-- The brick glitch. A short I uploaded should explain everything.
@@GamingDelight
Exactly that!! 😊
Still waiting for donkey Kong country collection.😮
Great video
Sadly theirs NO SWITCH port of it or Super mario world via the E shop of it YET.
Nintendo Switch Online (which makes ports on the eShop unnecessary) would like a word with you.
But I don't WANT a NSO account so for me UNLESS it gets a E shop version of All Stars + Mario world I'll NEVER play ANY NSO games EVER and sadly the Switch/3DS don't even PLAY PHYSICAL GBA only games.
@@veghesther3204
NSO is your only chance for the Switch unless Nintendo decides to make pixel-enhanced versions of the original 2D games.
Credit song?

8bit mario had continues, hold select or some shit, i forget
Already brought that up-- 19:53.
@@GamingDelight hold my interst longer.
Great video! You are my new go to since the Gaming Historian pretty much stopped making new videos. Well like one video a year which is like what's the point of doing it anymore if that is how it's going to be, you might as well end your channel.
I always preferred the 8 bit versions. I hated this game and saw no point in it. Great video though
I am fine with game re-releases especially for newer systems, but if you are basically not going to add anything new to it, then I think its a total insult for them to try and charge you the amount of money as a new release, like Nintendo and a few other companies do all the time, because a lot of games that were on the Wii U were re-released on the Switch, and most of them were basically just direct ports where they barely added anything to it, yet they wanted to charge you around $70 plus tax for them, when you had already bought the Wii U games at around $60 and the games are basically the same, and then on top of that you have to buy the new Amiibo figurines, that they usually also release alongside the new ports, because they want to lock some content behind those figurines, and a lot of people don't see anything wrong with those practices, and it really sucks when the original games on the Wii U have stopped being officially supported by Nintendo, so you have to use 3rd party services like Pretendo just to get the games feeling like what you had paid for, and Nintendo and other companies will keep doing this over and over again, because people keep throwing money at them and they know they can get away with it.
I wish more remasters or re-releases would be like the Metroid Prime Trilogy which had released for about $40, which is extremely reasonable since its 3 games in 1 and most Nintendo Switch games just stick to the $70 price tag.
First-party Switch games go for as high as $60 (minus DLC), not $70 (except for massive games like Tears of the Kingdom).
Furthermore, the reason most Wii U rereleases on the Switch went for $60 (not $70) was because they had all the DLC (which had to be purchased separately for the Wii U versions) right out of the box.
@@GamingDelight That might be in your country, but in my country we get charged import fees so they do become around $70 plus taxes, and I still think that for whoever had bought the Wii U games it was still a bad deal for us, since like I mentioned after Nintendo disabled the eShop and turned off many of its online servers for the Wii U, we got basically screwed for supporting Nintendo and buying the games, as we are forced to either now use Pretendo to continue playing the games that we purchased how they were intended to be played, or to buy the Switch port which we don't know for how long those will last, as the Switch 2 is coming soon and Nintendo seems to be eliminating support for prior systems too quickly now, unlike how they used to support consoles for a long time in the 2000s.
✝️ Subbed! God bless in 2024! ✝️
Ninfuriating.
Ninnovative.
Nintendo.
Have to disagree with you about the Mega Man: Wily Wars part. This compilation isn't on the same level as Super Mario Allstars. It's not as impressive regarding the graphics and the new sound also isn't as good (I guess sound might be dependent on individual taste though).
There are also many issues with its gameplay (limited shots per frame, different feel of controls + lag, larger characters and enemy sprites even though screen resulution is identical - but MM hitbox is smaller, addition of invincibility frames on enemies that weren't in the original - especially nasty on some robot masters, some special weapons cause Mega Man to not being able to move for a second when fired, etc.). Being able to save and the additional unlockable extra levels plus being able to use a mix of various special weapons from different games is a cool thing.
I would have wished so much for it to be as good as the Mario Allstars treatment. But it's still a lot better than the Ninja Gaiden Trilogy - this one totally failed.
I didn't say anything about Wily Wars being good or bad.
@@GamingDelight True - I rewatched it. Sorry. Please consider it to just be my two cents about Wily Wars. Damn, I would have loved it to be on the same level as Mario Allstars.
Jesus loves you!
Are you a AI Bot?
Of course not. Why?
@@GamingDelight Just wondering, Every Video I go too, Sounds like a AI bot..But nice Job on the Video, I love Mario 3 & Mario 2 (J)
@@MarioMania05I think you might be confused with how AI bots sound. lol
But I can see how their narration style might confused people. 😂❤
I didn’t like the 16 bit sound effects at all. I preferred the eight bit sound effects.
Well, to each his own.
