Super Mario Bros. Deluxe
About the Game
Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a platform game released for the Game Boy Color in 1999. Nintendo developed it as an enhanced version of the original from the Nintendo Entertainment System.

Every world preserves the layouts that helped make Super Mario Bros. one of the most influential platform games ever created.
