By saying that, zolty, you've just been scheduled for a revoking of your gamer card. If you don't like the game, then you don't like videogames at all. Plain and simple.

I have to know if she's all right!
Why?
Because I love her!
All right... gay...

It's slightly overrated. Most of the other Mario games are better. But there's no denying this one's importance, or the fact that it's still a fun game, even to this day.

I'm pretty sure he does. I've read the guys comments. The guy has nothing but praises for the Xbox 360, but thinks the Nintendo Wii is a piece of crap.

Yes. SMW and SMB3 are much better.

Stupid fucking troll post.

The game was revolutionary at it's release for featuring side scrolling levels, fluid jumping controls, power ups, coin collectibles, and non linear progression. Most games at the time were linear single screen shooters more focused on point scoring. SMB revitalised the gaming industry folliwing the crash of 1983, and who knows what would happened otherwise. Perhaps no Call of Duties...

I still find this game highly enjoyable today, and that's no small feat after 32 years.

Thanks. Lol I'm also trying to bump up the video game posts to show many users there's more to talk about on this site than Trump.

The most overrated games came out two consoles later. Ocarina of Time and Final Fantasy VII.

I never played Final Fantasy VII but when Ocarina was first released in 1998 I was immersed in it for many months. The world was huge at the time with so many secrets and the graphics were so impressive. I also still find it enjoyable today, although I find that being unable to skip through story text has limited its replay value.

I find one of the most overrated games of all time to be Grand Theft Auto III. I find the graphics drab and gray, the choice of cars limited, the aiming system horrrible, and the protagonist who never talks just lame. I never played it on it's first release but can see how it was a big deal at the time. Nevertheless, I still can't get into it and find the game itself somewhat overrated, even if its legacy isn't.
