Play Super Mario Bros Remastered for Some Retro Gaming Fun
Gamers and Mario enthusiasts in particular are sure to get a kick out of Super Mario Brothers Remastered, a fan-made unofficial remake of the original Nintendo Super Mario Bros game that includes new levels, new options and game modes, new characters, a level editor, physics improvements, and more.
Super Mario Bros Remastered is not meant to replace the original NES Mario, but more celebrate the fan favorite legendary game with some new modern fun twists, and you can even use custom resource packs to customize how the game looks and sounds, or add in your own characters.
Super Mario Bros Remastered is an open source project that works on Mac, Windows, and Linux, and runs as a self-contained application. System requirements are light, but what you will need is the original NES Mario ROM file, something that you can easily find online using your favorite search engine of choice, looking for something like “NES Mario rom” (retro ROMs are kind of a grey area, you’re on your own to figure that part out). Once you have that, launch the “Super Mario Bros Remastered” application, drag the original NES ROM into the app window, and you’ll quickly be playing the new highly customized and quite fun version of the game.
Soon you’ll be playing Super Mario Brothers Remastered on your Mac or PC, so have a little retro gaming fun!
