Super Mario 5000

Super Mario 5000 is a fan-made Mario platform game based on the original Super Mario Bros. formula. It keeps the familiar side-scrolling gameplay that made Mario famous while using modified stages and graphics inspired by Super Mario Bros. 3.

After spending time with the game and reviewing gameplay footage and community discussions, I found that its biggest strength comes from its familiar gameplay mixed with level changes that keep the adventure interesting. If you know the original NES Mario game well, you will quickly notice that some stages follow different layouts and enemy placements.

🍄 A Familiar Mario Journey With New Surprises

Your objective remains simple.

You control Mario as he travels through platforming stages filled with enemies, pits, pipes, and power-ups. The overall structure stays close to the classic Nintendo formula that many retro gaming fans enjoy.

During your adventure, you can:

• Jump across gaps
• Defeat enemies
• Collect coins
• Grab Mushrooms and Fire Flowers
• Reach the goal at the end of each stage
• Progress through multiple worlds

🎨 Graphics Inspired By Super Mario Bros. 3

One of the first things you may notice is the visual style.

The graphics take inspiration from Super Mario Bros. 3 rather than the original Super Mario Bros. release. This gives the game a different appearance while keeping the classic 2D platforming mechanics intact.

Visual highlights include:

• Mario 3-inspired sprites
• Updated environment graphics
• Familiar Mario enemies
• Traditional side-scrolling presentation

🏰 What Makes Super Mario 5000 Different?

Super Mario 5000 is not simply a graphic swap.

Several stages use modified layouts compared to the original Super Mario Bros. This means you cannot always rely on memory from the NES classic.

You may encounter:

• Different platform locations
• Alternative enemy positions
• Adjusted stage routes
• Modified obstacle placement

These changes create a different experience without changing the core Mario gameplay.

⭐ Handy Features Included

Some browser versions of Super Mario 5000 include several useful options.

Available features:

• Save game support
• Load game support
• Sound settings
• Custom control configuration

These options were not available in the original 1985 release of Super Mario Bros.
