hi everyone welcome to the third episode of NGS I am Salem Al Hosani in this episode we will do something different we won't review a console, we will review a game we need to change this routine you know but that doesn't mean we won't review the consoles we will review them later in future episodes we will start with... with the game on the back of my head Super Mario Bros on NES I think every gamer knows that game its impossible that's no one heard of it so here we go first of all I will talk the history of this game this game released in 1985 at the launch of U.S NES this game is designed by the genius Shigeru Miyamoto and he is one of the greatest game designer in the history until this day it was revolutionary when this game released because it was the first game that shows the side scrolling which means when the character walks, the camera moves along with it it was amazing back there because of that, we saw other video game characters like Sonic the hedgehog and others this game got a huge sales and its one of the best sales on the NES along with Super Mario Bros 3 its amazing game and its still playable now we will review the game this is a nostalgic title screen this game supports 2 players like we said before, the side scrolling appeared in this game and we saw it later in other games anyway lets start the first player plays as Mario and the second as Luigi thier mission in this game is saving the princess from Bowser or Koopa in Japaneses version the controlling is very easy "A" button for jump and "B" for running and you will need it a lot to jump over big holes you progress in the game by going forward, and try to avoid the traps and holes also you can defeat the enemies all for reaching to the flag pole and finishing the stage then you rest in the fort before continuing its better to jump into the top of the flag pole for more points about the enemies there are 3 ways to defeat them you can stamp on them or you can break the blocks that they're standing on them and finally by the fire flower I will talk about it in seconds at the beginning you will start with Mini Mario Mario can gets the Mushroom that makes him bigger Big Mario can break the blocks easily unlike Mini Mario but Big Mario can't go through tiny paths Big Mario also gets a Fire Flower it gives the ability to Mario to shoot fire balls when he gets it, the color of his clothes changes well...anyway the "B" button do another job for you you can shoot fire balls twice in row and you can defeat most of the enemies with it but know that you can't defeat some enemies with it so you need to use another way to defeat them there no life bar unlike other games one hit and you're dead if you are a Big Mario or Fire Mario and you got damaged by the enemy you will return to the Mini mario which means Mario can stand 2 hits if we count Big Mario and Fire Mario now we will talk about things that Mario can find in his adventure he can collect the coins that give him a "1up" also you can find some secret stuff in the block some of them gives you a "1up" Mushroom and others gives you a star that makes you invincible for some time and finally the giant tree some trees take you to the bonus stages that you collect coins in them and the other takes you to the secret pipes so you can warp to other stages about the bonus stages most of them you will find them in regular stages while progressing and you can get inside of them by pressing "down" but you can't get inside in every pipes also, be careful of these plants that get out of the pipes you can't kill them unless you have fire power or by the star wait until its get inside and if you stand to the top of the pipe it won't get out until you move aside so it won't attack you from the inside let's talk about the world and the stages there are 8 worlds in this game and each one has 4 stages most of them are look the same but its not a big issue as long as its the first side scrolling game there are regular outdoors stages ,giant hills , Underground , night outdoors , on the long bridge , Ice stages , under the water and finaly the castle water stages are the most annoying one because you can't stomp on the enemies also you have to avoid these annoying jellyfish as much as you can you need the fire power in these stage because its the only way to kill them about the castle stages they are always at the fourth stages of each world and each one are different from the others in level design some them by the way are maze stages and you must remember the way you go there is no boss except one, and its Bowser who appears at the end of the stage he is very easy all you can do is to jump over him to get....erm.... an axe??!! the bridge will be broken after that and he will fall into the lava or you can use fire flower about the fire flower you, all you can do is shooting him with fire balls and he will die after a few hits the old fashioned way is much faster but it needs focusing and timing so, defeating him with fire flower is much easier that does not require a big strategy, just try to avoid his fire shots as mush as you can but if you got a hit try to get the axe while you're invincible and thats it thats the only ways to defeat him but be carefull he becomes harder he throws hammers so keep your eyes open lets talk about the difficulty the game in general if you are playing it without cheating by finding secret passages its still hard! yes! I said that!! but its not ridiculously hard like Castlevania or Ninja Gaiden and others you can master this difficulty the main problem of this game back there that if you lost all lives and the game is over, you will start at the beginning of the game but fortunately there is a continue code, so you can continue the game and not a lot of people heard of it here is the way when the game title appears after game over screen all you do is keep pressing "A" and then press "start" while you still pressing "A" and you play at the start of the world you died in not the exact location you died in, only the beginning of the world not only that, If you beat the game once, you can select the world you want to play once again there is a way to beat the game much faster first, play the game at the beginning when you reach 1-2 section at the end , when you see these moving platforms try to go to the above of stage and keep walking until you reach to the warping pipes and go to the world 4 keep progressing until you reach 4-2 section at the first quarter of the stage, at this section try to find the giant tree, without hitting the wrong invincible blocks, here is the way as you can see, thats the way, climb the tree after that you will find the warping pipes once again, go to the world 8 from now on you have to depend on your skills and try to beat the game and its not that easy but that's the fastest way to get to the world 8 and beating the game someone by the way managed to beat the game in 5 minutes and he's is a speed runner so good luck if you want to break this record about the flaws there is not much except the controlling is kinda hard in water stages while you're trying to slow down the other thing if you played 2 players mode the second player can't play until the first player died first so if the the first player is a professional the second player must wait too long so good luck second player that's all I can say about this game in general In conclusion, this is Super Mario Bros on NES some players say its an outdated game and its nothing against current gen games and the others says "NO", this game is still enjoyable and playable even in these days and graphics and other stuff does not matter, and I agree with them this game is still playable and enjoyable and its hard and challenging its even harder than some current gen games any collector of retro games should have the physical copy of this game at least because its will be a nice charm in your collection Salem Al Hosani from Nostalgic Gamer Show, thank you all for watching and I will see you again
