Visual Effects of Awesome: The simple addition of lightning flashes to World 8-4 in the original game and The Lost Levels, along with the castle's unique background, really gives it a nice 'final stage' feel (or Disc-One Final Dungeon in The Lost Levels, as there's also World D-4).The fact that the fortress in World 8 used color variation to differentiate both sections in the NES version makes the All-Stars version far more confusing. 3 as compared to the NES original's more varied colors. Some people don't like how the caves and fortresses look bland and samey in the All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros.

The change to the block mechanics in the first game and The Lost Levels that causes you to keep some forward momentum rather than bounce you back, which has caused some people to swear off this compilation despite all of the ways in which it otherwise vastly improves on the originals.The Lost Levels is easier than the Disk System original, while still being the hardest of the compilation (which is why saves are per stage instead of world). Sequel Difficulty Drop: Remake in this case.Scrappy Mechanic: A small one exists for SMB1 and The Lost Levels - in the original versions of these games, breaking a brick block causes Mario or Luigi to bounce back off, but in Super Mario All-Stars, due to a programming mistake, the player maintains a little bit of forward momentum as they break through the block instead of bouncing off, making breaking brick blocks in rapid succession a little more tricky.To a lesser extent (it is already a SNES game), the version of Super Mario World included on SMAS + SMW has Luigi being given new sprites that weren't just palette swaps of Mario's. Polished Port: All-Stars greatly enhanced the visuals and soundtrack of all four games, and gave them the ability to save progress as well as four save files each.It's not super creepy on its own, but it's terrifying when it pops up unexpectedly when the system boots up, due to the lack of any sounds or background.

Nightmare Fuel: The game's Anti-piracy message.

Mind you, the quality of the port itself is perfect - the beef people had with it was that the game was a full-priced rerelease that basically slapped an unaltered ROM of All-Stars (not even All-Stars + World!) onto a Wii disc with a modest art booklet and soundtrack CD to accompany it, instead of just releasing the game on the Virtual Console for far less money.

It's the Same, Now It Sucks!: The Wii port, released for the 25th Anniversary of SMB1.
