Talk:Super Mario video game remakes

Split them up
Each of these games should be split into different articles. That's basically all I have to say. -- A Link to the Past July 5, 2005 05:57 (UTC)
 * Your reason being? Dar July 8, 2005 22:30 (UTC)
 * They're not direct ports. SMA4 has a lot to discuss about - the e-Reader capabilities for one. -- A Link to the Past 20:41, July 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Seems to me that the article doesn't need split up, but that separate articles could be made additionally, with links to said articles beneath each respective sub-heading within the existing article. There are other game articles which have this structure.
 * Good point. I just wrote out an SMA4 article and I need help with some of the e-Reader stuff.  Hbdragon88 22:36, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

New Super Mario Brothers
Is this game actually a remake of an existing game? -- Steel 10:26, 8 June, 2006 (UTC)

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe: remake or not?
Someone deleted the SMB Deluxe section, saying it was a port, not a remake. I totally disagree with this. After all, it includes lots of stuff that wasn't in the original game, like challenge mode, Vs. mode, and the Toy Box. Sure, it is possible to play the original game in pretty much exactly the same way as on the NES, with the same graphics, but that doesn't mean it's not a remake. After all, if it were supposed to be the same as the original, it wouldn't be "deluxe"! ComputerBox


 * Deluxe was a remake and should absolutely be added back on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.7.87.162 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Actual name?
Has Nintendo actually referred it to the "Super Mario remake series" or is this just a fan invention? Hbdragon88 19:49, 12 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Fan invention. Frankyboy5 23:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)


 * It's not an invention, it's a descriptive term. Tell me if you have a better word for the merged article. Andre (talk) 03:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

None of SMA games are faithful ports
In SMA2 if you hit an enemy as Fire or Caped Mario you revert into super mario, not little mario as in the original. According to IGN, Yoshi's Island had minigames not featured in SMA3 and secret levels are unlocked easier. Frankyboy5 23:57, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Include Super Mario All-Stars?
Should we include SMAS a well because it is also an enhanced remake. BTW, some of the remakes use sprites from the latter. Frankyboy5 00:53, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * This seems to deal with only the handheld series, so I'd leave it off for now. Hbdragon88 08:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Other Remakes
It could be argued that Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga is a remake because it includes the Mario Bros. arcade game.

It could be argued that New Super Mario Bros. is a remake because it used the same Rec Room games as Super Mario 64 DS.

Are we going to mention these? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.16.36.210 (talk) 01:40, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
