The title features complete remakes of all four Nintendo Entertainment System and Famicom Disk System Super Mario titles: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels with improved 16-bit graphics and sound. Gameplay, however, is virtually identical, with only the bonus game from Super Mario Bros. 2 slightly different, and some glitches being removed. A few physics properties were changed; for example, jumping and hitting a Brick Block in Super Mario Bros. causes Super/Fire Mario to continue moving upwards after breaking it, as opposed to the NES version where Mario instantly bounced downwards upon hitting the block. The most notable addition is a save feature: all games now allow the player to save their status at any point in the game. Upon restarting the game, the player will begin at the first level of the world they saved in, with the exception of Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, which allows the player to begin from the last level they saved in.

Famous quotes containing the word content:
“Women are angels, wooing;
Things won are done, joy’s soul lies in the doing.
That she beloved knows naught that knows not this:
Men prize the thing ungained more than it is.
That she was never yet that ever knew
Love got so sweet as when desire did sue.
Therefore this maxim out of love I teach:
Achievement is command; ungained, beseech.
Then though my heart’s content firm love doth bear,
Nothing of that shall from mine eyes appear.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Life must be filled up, and the man who is not capable of intellectual pleasures must content himself with such as his senses can afford.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“You can hardly convince a man of an error in a life-time, but must content yourself with the reflection that the progress of science is slow. If he is not convinced, his grandchildren may be. The geologists tell us that it took one hundred years to prove that fossils are organic, and one hundred and fifty more to prove that they are not to be referred to the Noachian deluge.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
