9 Cool Differences between Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and the original 

Peach kneeling/getting on her toes to adapt to Mario's hight, what a great detail. Somehow had never heard of this. Then again, SMBD is often forgotten when discussing that era of Mario games.

that's honestly cool that they went out of their way to add these tiny little extras

A shame Super Mario Bros. Deluxe doesn't get more love. Nintendo keeps re-releasing the original game but Deluxe is always forgotten. It's not even on NSO.

Deluxe always felt more polished and now I know why.

The tiptoe kiss is the cutest thing ever in Mario games.

Idk why but SMB Deluxe always seemed to be the Super Mario Advance version of SMB1, at least to me. They don't have the All Stars Art Style and Graphics but that what makes it special, this one is dedicated to the OG Super Mario Bros Game, with small features, a world map and extra animations, it's so beautiful. I should probably replay it after seeing this video.

"Chromatically indistinguishable" just became my new favourite phrase. Absolutely loved the video! ❤️

The sound effect of Lakitu throwing Spiny Eggs and Cheep Cheeps jumping out of the water in Deluxe is taken from the original Mario Bros. when an enemy comes out of a pipe

It's really impressive just how many improvements Super Mario Bros. Deluxe added compared to the original 1985 game such as more animations, sound effects for certain enemies, a world map, Mario/Luigi destroying a Castle after defeating its Boss, Luigi getting his own, unique, palette swap colors rather than just having it be both his default, and Fire clothes, etc.! My favorite of all these however is Peach standing on her tippytoes when she kisses Big/Fire Mario/Luigi, I just LOVE seeing her shoes in all their 8-bit glory! 😉 Definitely had a lot of memories with the Game Boy Color remake of this classic game (hard to believe it's already been 25 years since SMBD first came out too... God, I'm old)! 🥰 Maybe you'll do future comparison videos between Super Mario Bros. (1985), and its 1999 GBC remake (if there ARE anymore comparisons to do so, that is), or even just show off all the new stuff Deluxe added over its OG counterpart! Either way, another excellent comparison video, Looygi! 👍

The only thing holding back Deluxe from being the definitive version of SMB is the screen crunch from being on GBC. If someone were to remake/port it on a non-handheld it'd be amazing.

I grew up with this game as a kid and I honestly prefer it over the original

Thank you, Looygi Bros! Always hoped you'd go for SMBDX, and you delivered!❤

If it weren't for the screen crunch, this would easily be the best version of the original SMB.

SMBD was my first Gameboy Colour game along with Game & Watch Gallery 3. These games deserve more love! 🔥

I love how in the artwork, she bends don’t to hold marios hands but not luigi because he’s already tall

i think what impresses me most is how NES authentic the edited sprite work and new sounds are.

Do the Super Mario Advance games next

I think the Toad jumping up and down is a reference to Super Mario All-Stars.

1:18, I love those sounds for path castle levels.

The kissing animation for big Mario is sooooo cute. ❤

7:52 Toad showing the finger to Mario in the NES version.

It's cool that they officially gave Mario Deluxe little details! I never noticed them before!

Version differences are my favourite series on this channel, really loved this video!

Nice extra stuff, for sure.

Now THIS is next level!

I'm on the younger side (only 28), and the GBA was my first console despite the Game Boy Color being quite prominent when I was a kid. As a result, Deluxe was my only experience with the first Super Mario Brothers, but man was it a great experience. I never knew that there were any differences between the two versions, thinking it was just a port of the original game. I had no idea the original didn't have those overworlds similar to SMB3. It makes me happy that there are those who remember this game.

2:18 Another difference no one seems to comment on, the Fire Flower in SMBD flickers a lot faster than in the original.

This confirms one thing: Peach (or Princess Toadstool if you really wanna be that guy), was indeed a shortstack!

I love how you made this video,taking the time to really show and point out the details and giving them time and space to be seen its really well made

They really should've changed Luigi's sprites in SMM2 to be like this instead of making him turn red and green when he grabs a fire flower.

Super Mario Bros Deluxe more like Super Mario Advance 0 if you know what I mean

At this point, i haven't investigated how SMBDX Challenge mode was... But some curious changes. Also, how come they have animated lava-water here, but not on SMM1/2???

The layouts for some of these facts is really neat! Your rhythm and placement did not go unnoticed!

Those changes are so cool, they feel like something that they would've added to the original game if they had the technology. Although I wish they made the map have the SMB colour palette aswell, a bit weird to have it be 16 bit.

It's cool to see all these differences all together! Some of these I never noticed!

I remember that my brother borrowed SMB Deluxe from a friend when we were in elementary school. This brought back a ton of memories and I started feeling nostalgic. Awesome video!

I love these little details, just enough to make SMB:D worth buying for that alone!

I had forgotten this version and I have it for my GBC. :) Nice video as usual.

If this game wasn't on such a small screen it would probably be the definitve edition of SMB

If only the screen wasn't (understandably) cropped, Deluxe would be the definitive way to play this classic. Those little touches are so sweet.

If i remember right they did the toad thing in All Stars, and each castle had more and more toads

I never even knew Super Mario Bros Deluxe had this many differences. I know little about the game as it is, but literally, one of the only things I knew of this game was Luigi having better coloration in normal and fire forms. Even then, I only figured that out through Mario Crossover.

I loved smbd for what it does for all the extra stuff but especially for the Luigi extras. I played smb nes first and since I was younger I would be luigi. He was the best! Plus he was green! So when the deluxe version gave him a green fire flower color I was over the moon!

SMB Deluxe is the version I grew up with, so it's cool to see the differences that I never knew were there!

I feel like if yoshi was in the SMB he would just add the extra base to the songs when you jump on him

i didn't know/remember most of that things but omg that map screen brought back memories of playing this on the PLANE LOL

Fire Luigi in Deluxe are more inline with the old cartoon when he got the Fire Flower.

I had this game. Even though it was crunched down, I liked it - especially for the fun extras - such as the boo races, Lost Levels, and the collection mode - not to mention the photo album!

Thanks for uploading this.

I’ve never played SMB Deluxe, so these were completely unknown to me. It’s really cool how much they went in and polished this game up! If it weren’t for the screen crunch, this could easily be the definitive version of the original game.

7:58 OG toad gripping you off is as funny as mario dying on the cover hitting a fireproof wall 😂

How I wish there was a SMB on NES hack with these changes.

6:10 that moment when the world map has better looking sprites than the levels themselves

And the Player and also select between Mario or Luigi in SM3DL on the Map once you beat Special World 1 Castle dam all these references to future tittles but I really had to expose Mario Wonder

The full resolution version of this game is seriously needed

1:03 this fact is kind of weong since Mario already had a sound effect when turning but the sound effects is quite different

So that's where all my Mandela effect stuff for SMB1 came from. SMBDX was the first version I played of it.

I think if i recall, Luigi was also more slippery and MAYBE can jump slightly higher? Keeping consistent with how he played in Mario 2 JP onward

Great video Looygi 😊

Great concept of a video, didn't know there was any differences

These differences are very cool!

Two things I wish Mario Maker had used from Deluxe: small/normal green/brown for Luigi and correct pallette for Fire Luigi. The other being the boo sprite.

I grew up on this game thinking it was just the original and all of these were original

One of the very few portable games I've owned and played more than once. Wish they'd incorporate all the additions to a full-res version of SMB, I think that would be my favorite version of the game then.

6:59 it’s so weird actually seeing peach move here

It truly is the Deluxe version of the game

Even though I played both versions I'm way more nostalgic for deluxe. I played it so much as a kid

3:21, the same changes to this version of the game also applies to the Super Mario All-Stars/Super Mario World/Super Mario Collection versions of the game as well. Also, the music in the Coin Heaven and Bonus Rooms areas are completely different in the previously mentioned games.

I really like Luigi's palette in Deluxe, I wish they went with those in SMM2

"Chromatically indistinguishable" sounds really cool.

The spiny egg sound effect sounds like when enemies come out of pipes in the original Mario Bros.

I always wanted to have this version's features with the original's resolution. Hackers get on it!!

SMB Deluxe was the first way I ever completed SMB1! Its music sounds way better to me than the original

ooh the memories..! SMBDX on gbc was my very first video game ever :')

What a great video

Why don't the Mario maker trampoline make that sound but instead just make the block hit sound

SMBD was my go to in study hall on the GBC!

The extra sounds effects reminds me of the ones used in mario bros. classic Also holy hell the path SFX is hella useful 5:38 unrelated fact: there was a re-release of super mario collection back in the 90s in japan for the Satellaview BSX, it featured maps just like smb deluxe, but those behaved like smb3's, it's possible that smbdx's took inspiration of BSsmb's 7:47 that animation appeared first in the original version of super mario collection 8:18 that luigi is hella lanky 💀💀💀

And that is why I like the Deluxe version over the original, but the original is still a classic!

3:46 that's just Challenge Mode. If you play the "Original 1985" mode, then the Warp Zones are still there.

i had both versions as a kid, but Deluxe was my favorite especially because of all the car rides i took. discovering the lost levels was a big surprise and it took me forever to beat it

I loved deluxe so much. Pretty sure I beat the whole game or at least got super close as a kid. Now I can gameboy link cable the game and play the multiplayer with my kids.

2:48 Esa emotiza que me hizo 👻

I liked every change except the added sound effects

I remember when I was a kid I begged my mom to buy me this game. I thought Mario and Luigi looked so cool on the cover of the Deluxe version. . Then I was so disappointed that they looked nothing like the cover. I was like “wait a minute, this is the NES version of Super Mario Bros. for game boy!” I still played the shit out of it. I was obsessed with finding the princess.

Peach no longer looks like she's doing an impression of the quagmire toilet

Toad's jumping may be a reference to the jumping Toads in SMB3. when you are in the King's room in each kingdom. Also, something interesting, Luigi had that weird color pallete to make it easier to tell them appart in the first Mario Bros Game, that had 2 players on screen. Only after the 1st Super Mario Bros game they started to play around with his colors, tough the Nes limitations on colors and sprite size made it hard.

Just incredible how nintendo was able to not only add new things to SMB DX as well as adding small touches to it but how they even solved new problems with it like for instance i never knew about those changed rooms at the end of those underground levels as a replacement of those warpzone rooms in challange mode wow, in fact i have never asked myselfabout it how and what untill now when i realize that nintendo had to change those things to get around that.

Those notable differences are great. I still love Super Mario Bros. Deluxe though, and those improvements and fantastic features are Deluxe fantastic.

I played the deluxe version non-stop when it came out. I'm always shocked that people have either never heard of it or that it just never gets brought up because it's definitely me a fantastic version of the original game

Damn that intro hits kinda hard ngl

It's quite strange to launch a game with graphics from the early 1980s in 1999, at a time that was in the N64 era, and the beginning of the GCN/GBA era was just around the corner. People at that time might think it was very old. Either way, it's one of the best "Deluxe" games there has ever been. Even though the screen resolution is much lower compared to the original, it is still an incredible and fantastic remake. And many details of this remake, I didn't even notice.

Its a suttle detail, but I lile how Mario stares at the castle collapsing then just turns around

"With games like Super Mario Bros. now in color, you might actually forget where you are."

Both versions were awesome and I would binge play Super Mario Bros. Deluxe when I owned a Gameboy Color! Ooohhh, I love the nostalgia

I still own this, it’s how I played SMB as a kid it’s great if you handle a little sceeen crunch

Might be obvious, but Mario and Luigi control exactly like they do in Lost Levels. Also, sucks the Lakitu's behavior wasn't fixed in here.

Now I feel upset that I looked at Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the 3DS eShop, and thought, "No, maybe not. I've played the original, so I don't think I need that one." *Sigh.* It looks like it would have been fun and rewarding. Oh, well. At least I get to see it today.

I've never played Mario Bros Deluxe, mostly cuz I don't have a GameBoy. After seeing this video, I kinda want to play it.

Is there a romhack for the NES game that backports the Deluxe stuff? Would be a great way to get the best of both worlds.
