This is the first game i got for the snes and is still one of my favorites. The graphics r about the same as the nes graphics but they added a little more color and smothed out the blockeyness. The sound is great for the snes. After u get the hang of it it gets eaiser to play and the controls get more simple. This is the eaisest mario game to beat for me but not for other people. I love the multiplayer mode, it makes it eaiser to get farther in the game. It seems after this game on the snes, marios games were not as good untill the GC came out. Like i said this is the best snes game made.
