Well, it's been confirmed (though I think we all knew it was coming).

They haven't revealed a thing about it, but I think we all know it's going to be a port. I think we also all know that unless they are reporting Super Mario Bros 1 (nah, that'll be Super Mario Advance 5 :D), this will be a port of Super Mario Bros 3 plus Mario Bros Classic. Super Mario Bros. 3 has always been my favorite 2D Mario game. Since it's a "favorite", I'm actually interested in the port. I got Yoshi's Island since I didn't already own it on SNES, though I may not have if I did. This however I feel compelled to get. I certainly hope they don't change the gameplay, and it remains just the same as ever before. Changing gameplay at the level that Super Mario Bros 2 was changed is just something I don't enjoy. Having said that, hiding huge secret worlds with all new levels is something I WOULD like to see added. One could choose not to find those secrets and play it normally (when I want full gameplay conversion, I mean I want you to be able to put on a blindfold and press all the buttons the same way on both games and when you take off the blindfold, you are in the EXACT same situation in both games), or find the extras. I suspect a "find the red coins" bonus will be added, since it's added to all games that don't already have it before, but as long as it's an optional quest that doesn't alter gameplay, like in SMB DX, then no prob bob. Since they will most likely reuse the All-Stars graphics and sound (no prob by me, that looked and sounded great, and there's not THAT much they could do to improove it, aside from removing "tiling", which I wouldn't like since the tiles helped me in various areas), I do hope they will add in the removed end game bonus from the NES version (they took it out of all-stars) where you beat it and can restart the game with an item menu filled with P-wings.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
