Page "Super Mario Bros. 2" Paragraph 13

In 1993, Nintendo released an enhanced SNES compilation titled Super Mario All-Stars.

It included all of the Super Mario Bros. games released for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Family Computer.

The version of Super Mario Bros. 2 included in the compilation had improved graphics and sound to match the SNES's 16-bit capabilities, as well as minor alterations in some collision mechanics.

Among other enhancements, it was also possible to change the character after losing a single life, while the original version allowed to change it only after completing a level or when the player lost all its lives and chose " Continue ", making the game much more forgiving when choosing a character not adept at some specific level.

Also, the player began with 5 lives instead of 3, and the slot game gained an additional character: if one could get three " 7 "' s, the player could win ten lives.
