So, this is basically the GBA port of the original Super Mario Bros.—you know, the NES classic that started it all. It’s the same game you remember: running through Mushroom Kingdom, stomping Goombas, grabbing power-ups, and trying not to faceplant into a pit. The controls feel a little different on the GBA, but you adjust fast.

What’s cool is they kept the old-school charm—no fancy remakes here. The music’s still iconic, the levels are just as punishing, and yeah, you’ll probably still get stuck on World 8-1 like it’s 1985. If you’ve never played the original, this is a solid way to try it. If you have… well, it’s Mario. You already know whether you’re diving back in.

Also, no save feature—because apparently, we’re all still masochists who enjoy starting from scratch.
