Regional differences[]
Of the following facts, these show what is different in the Japanese version of Super Mario All-Stars:
- There is a different crowd chatter, comparing to the two versions.
- On the title screen, instead of the lights revealing after pressing Start, the screen will automatically fade out.
- Three of the box arts are completely different in the Japanese version. In the U.S. version, the "Lost Levels" box is given English text.
- The "Select Game" screens also have a couple different colors.
- The Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels title screen has the words "Super Mario Bros. 2 for Super Players" in its logo.
- Even Super Mario Bros. 2's title screen is different. You will see words "Super Mario USA", along with three copyright years.
Version differences[]
Many differences, including a couple of glitch fixes, occurred between the original NES versions of the four Super Mario games and their Super NES counterparts in Super Mario All-Stars.
- All four title screens now have background music, and one of the Player Modes will disappear after opening an old file.
- Luigi is taller than Mario in every game.
Super Mario Bros. (1 and Lost Levels)[]
- The number of lives is now always a counting number rather than a crown and a symbol from the CHR table.
- Players will immediately take turns after completing each level in addition to also losing a life.
- Mario can jump above the blocks he just broke with his head.
- The bonus rooms and coin heavens use completely different music.
- When you face Bowser, the music changes to a more epic theme for any typical boss battle. There is a different epic theme also available when facing the last Bowser.
- The Minus World glitch still works, but the pipes will only lead to Worlds 2, 3 and 4. Therefore, the Minus World is partially removed.
- A form of small and fiery Mario at the same time is not possible.
- Audio cues are given for key points in the maze levels (Worlds 4-4, 7-4 and 8-4) if you chose the correct path or the wrong path.
- In each world, a different number of Toads escape from their tied bags. Each number of Toads from the bag would usually match the world number.
