Super Mario Bros in retrospect.

The original Super Mario Bros, although it lacks the advanced graphics, mechanics, and abilities present in modern games, it is still fun. It possesses a rogue-like game style which makes the player want to redeem themselves after prior defeats and try the same levels over and over again, despite frustration elicited by those levels. The game accompanies this level repetition with a celebration at the end of each level which makes the player feel victorious. Combined with the transition between levels which prompts players to play the game in blocks of time.
