I’ve said many times over the years that I’m only a casual gamer. I don’t play any of the new-fangled games that you guys seem to be addicted to. I enjoy a few hours of Tetris, sure. However, I have to admit I miss the old days. I LOVED the original games that I lost myself in for hours: Asteroid, Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong and even PitFall. These classic games are hard to beat, even with the amazing graphics we have in games today.

Thank god we now have Super Mario Brothers Crossover to keep me sane. The game is a remake of the first Mario game, but with six playable 80s-era characters. This awesome little slice of heaven mixes the classic platform levels with the variously controlled platform heroes from other franchises.

You’ll find some pretty cool characters to play around with, including Bill R from Contra (who shoots directionally) and Mega Man with his blaster. Samus from Metroid will turn into a ball and drop bombs. Mario is still starring as himself, of course. The cast is rounded out with Link and Simon Belmont from Castlevania.

I admit I’m already hooked. God only knows how long this game will be available, so I’ve been playing every chance I get. It may sound too “old school” for you based on my description. However, that’s exactly what I like about it so much. This game takes me back… while bringing me right smack into the future at the same time. Can you imagine the gaming possibilities if other games you love were to combine characters as this one has?

If you want to hear the entire Mario theme song, you’ll have to head over to the Super Mario Brothers’ website. They have pretty much anything and everything related to Super Mario!! So, if you’re an addict – you know where to go!

I’ve loved the song – and the games – since way back in junior high school when the NES first was released. Yes, I’m dating myself there. Heck, my age is no secret. But I can’t help it – I LOVE THE MARIO SONG!!!

On Super Mario Brothers, you’ll find a website dedicated to Mario and Luigi. Here you will find Mario games, Mario music, Mario themes, Mario downloads, and more! Stay as long as you want, and enjoy everything the Mushroom Kingdom has to offer.

There are several awesome games (Mario ripoff types) that you can play on the site. They’re pretty good, and they’re fun. You can grab MP3s of pretty much every song that you’ll find on any of the Mario World games, too! Now you can bop along anytime you want – or even make yourself a ring tone if you have the right software!

Go on, you know you want to. Spend a few hours on Super Mario Brothers today!
