I am extremely interested how many people have never played these games.

The only way for the average person to play them would be Virtual Console correct?

I am positive that I have played 2 of them and I think that I may have even played all 3 of them. If I recall 3 was my favorite (I think).

As someone who was born the release year of the NES stateside, I can't imagine anyone not playing SMB 1-3, but then I think that eighteen year olds were born in the 90's, and I realize that it's possible.

The most recent releases outside of the Wii VC are on the GameBoy Advance. 2 and 3 under the "Super Mario Advance" series, and SMB 1 in the classic "gray cartridge" remakes. In that case, SMB 1 was the only one graphically equal to its original. 2 and 3 had the "Mario All-Stars" look to them, along with a few small gameplay additions (2 had "giant radishes" that cleared the screen ala a POW block, 3 had e-reader cards, even one that unlocked plants to throw ala SMB 2)

Now I'm extremely interested in anyone that has never played them. Also, has anyone never played the original 8-bit graphics version of any of these games?

I played all of these 3, on emulator (original graphics

), on Super Mario All-star and on the NES (that stopped working a while ago

) SMB3 is the best of them. These 3 games are an important step in the history of nintendo

My aunt has an NES. With 80 games. I've played them. I'm gonna go with the majority on this one and say that 3 was the best.

I also have All-Stars as well, and was one of my favorite games on the SNES (Link of the Past FTW).

And to TheRidGE, I'm 17. Then again, I'm a huge video game nerd as well.

The first time I played these was a few weeks ago on super mario all stars using an emulator on my ps2. I'm only 15 so I'm too young to own a snes. The n64 came out when I was 3, I think and I got it when I was 5 or 6. If I got a snes before the n64 came out, I would be too young to play it but why would I get a snes when the newer console was already out?

There's a different Super Mario Bros 2? The ones I played is god awful which is the one with birdo lol

I was lucky enough to get a NES with games when I was 4 from a family friend. I actually just got my dad an emulator with Super Mario 1, 3 and Zelda since he loves to play them, but NES's are so unreliable these days if they haven't been fixed. I do have SMB1 and 3, but until I get my NES fixed, I'm sticking with my SNES and N64.

And for some fun trivia, I was born in 1986. What other big NES hit came out that year without using wikipedia ;D

Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES ftw.
I love these games to death but they can get pretty frustrating sometimes.
Especially on SM 3. However, I do love the big world.

Here's my original Mario history...

-I have played all 3 for NES (never beaten them since I don't own an NES)
-I have beaten all three on Super Mario All-Stars
-I have all three for GBA and have beaten them completely (they feel a little easier for the GBA)
-And my parents used Super Mario 3 as a lullaby when I was still a baby (seriously)

And I'm 16 now, so I'd say I've caught up fairly well to some of the best years gaming has to offer.

SMB2 was terrible imo
i had all the original cartridges for NES including SMB1/Duck hunt
SMB3 is a must have for any gamer

I've played all three but I couldn't bring myself to play them long enough to beat them. I really didn't like Mario until Super Mario World, but THAT was a game

ive played them all on NES , but by Mario 1 do you mean the one with the steel girders and the pipes at the corners of the screen where the critters come out of, or the side scrolling one called "Super Mario Bros." also i have played Super Mario Bros on the arcade and the levels are harder in it and the monsters are faster.
