If you're looking for a remix, there are patches (called hacks) available for some of these roms that changes the levels, graphics, and even gameplay. For an authentic Mario experience, grab an emulator and some old roms. Super Mario War is more fun, even if it does take up more space. this isn't worth the 8MB on your portable drive.
But even this isn't flawless, as sprites aren't rendered during this time. The transition of going through a pipe is about the only decent looking thing in this game (apart from Mario's head going through the pipe) which leads me to believe it was a code sample someone stole or some stock SDL filter or something. The "high resolution" (only high by 1985 standards) is offset by the lack of options to adjust it, no windowed mode, and small viewing region (you could see more in the original SMB). The physics are off, Mario acts like he's skating on ice, there is no sprite to sprite collisions off screen (a shell can go through many enemies without killing them). Ingame looks a little nicer than the title screen, but missing are parallax backgrounds (they appear in the second level but slow the game down immensely), and many animations. Whoever did the graphics fancies himself an artist but only knows how to rip sprites and use photoshop filters. This must be the ugliest game I have ever played.
