Overview
Super Mario All-Stars gathers four early Super Mario platform games on one cartridge, with updated visuals and save features added for the 1993 release. The Wii copy is an optical disc version of that compilation, preserving the original gameplay while adding Wii controller support. It is cataloged with 1993 as its earliest listed release year, though the disc itself was sold as part of a later anniversary edition.
02
Why it matters
The collection made the first several Mario platform games available together for the first time, including a version of The Lost Levels that had not appeared outside Japan. The Wii disc kept that compilation accessible on a newer system, allowing players to experience the remade early Mario games without the original cartridge.
03
The physical edition
A typical complete Wii copy of this edition includes the game disc, a standard Wii game case, and an instruction booklet. Some anniversary or limited editions also include a collector's booklet or soundtrack CD, but these extras vary by region and packaging, so check the specific listing for what is included.
04
Playing it today
The disc runs on a Wii console, and you can play with the Wii Remote held sideways, a Classic Controller, or a GameCube controller. The game is an unmodified emulation of the 1993 compilation, so controls and gameplay match the original Super Nintendo version.
