=Remake=  This article or section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. I hope to have it completed. The idea of this is this post on the forum. I have to:
 * find a general name for the page
 * split the following list into 5 smaller lists
 * explain how this is a [name of the page]
 * remove the "nowiki" at the end of the article.

The articles begins here:

A [name of the page] is a term that design any newer version of a previously released video game. There are five main categories of [name of the page]s.

Remakes
A remake is a game released usually long after the original game, on a new system, with updated graphics to fit with the new engine capacities, and additions brought to plot and gameplay (all these conditions may not be met in every case). They generally have a new name.


 * Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is a compilation of remakes of Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
 * Super Mario 64 DS is a remake of Super Mario 64.
 * Diddy Kong Racing DS is a remake of Diddy Kong Racing.

Ports
A port is a game released on a new platform than the original game, with some minor changes such as new controls or new graphics to fit the new system. Compilations are considered as ports since they're compilations of ports. Usually, they are very close to the original game and share the same name.


 * Super Mario All-Stars a compilation of ports of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and Super Mario Bros. 3.
 * Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World is a compilation of ports of Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario World.

 * Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 is a compilation of ports of Super Mario Bros. 3 and Mario Bros.

Enhanced ports
An enhanced port is a game released on a new platform than the original game, bringing more changes than a port, but less than a remake. It is released in the same period than the original game, unlike a remake.


 * Vs. Super Mario Bros. is an enhanced port of Super Mario Bros..

 * All the New Play Control! games are enhanced ports of the original games; this includes:
 * New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis, the enhanced port of Mario Power Tennis.

Re-releases
A re-release is a game released on the same platform than the original game, with only superficial or inconsequential changes. The name may be different than the original game.


 * Mario's FUNdamentals is a re-release of Mario's Game Gallery. The only difference is the name and the release date.

Retools
A retool, also called a sprite-swapped game, is a game made after applying a graphical overhaul on a previously released game, with or without minor gameplay differences as well. It's generally released on the same platform than the original game.


 * All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. is a retool of Super Mario Bros..
