Game Reviews: Super Mario Bros 35

Welcome to a frighteningly addictive, utterly bonkers, frantic re-imagining of the original classic Super Mario Bros. Welcome to a battle royale, Mario-style, that’s brought us all back to where it all began, some thirty-five years ago. As a concept this is very simple. You’re playing the original Super Mario Bros.
