Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition

Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition (or simply Super Mario All-Stars), known as Super Mario All-Stars - 25th Anniversary Edition in European languages, is a Mario special edition pack for the Wii made in celebration of the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary and was released in Japan on October 21, 2010; in Hong Kong and Taiwan on November 27, 2010; in Oceania on December 2, 2010; in Europe on December 3, 2010; and in North America on December 12, 2010, as a Wii emulation of the SNES game Super Mario All-Stars. Despite the "Limited Edition" moniker, Nintendo of America issued a reprint of the retail Wii disc under the Nintendo Selects label, which was released on March 11, 2016, sans bonus materials. To promote the release of the game, a letter was distributed to various video game press sites and was "authored" by Princess Peach (referring to her letters in Super Mario Bros. 3).

Features
The game was made in celebration of the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary and includes an extra package, with a Super Mario History 1985-2010 booklet, which tells about Mario's history and the people who made a big effort making the Mario games, and a CD with many songs across the main series from Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Galaxy, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and Super Mario Galaxy 2. The extra things were available for only a limited time. The soundtrack also has noises such as getting a coin or completing a level. On the Wii's Nintendo Channel as well as on the websites for the anniversary, there is a video celebrating the 25th Anniversary in all regions. The video uses game footage from the Japanese versions, but the differences to the English releases are minimal. Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is featured only in the Japanese version of the video.

The game itself is an unaltered emulation of Super Mario All-Stars for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, down to showing the SNES controller in the configuration screen rather than any of the standard Wii controllers. The game can be played with either the Wii Remote held sideways (similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii without the motion features, or the NES Virtual Console versions), the Classic Controller, the Classic Controller Pro, or the Nintendo GameCube controller. To select a game, the player must press and  on the Wii Remote.

The game does not support the 16:9 aspect ratio, so pillarboxing is added automatically.

Reception
The Wii port of Super Mario All-Stars received mixed reviews. Critics from criticized the game for being a straight port from the SNES, but they praised it for "the same classic games we remember," giving it a 7/10. gave the game an 8/10. gave the game an "F," saying that the bonus material included with the game was "disappointing."

Trivia

 * The combined price to download all four of the original games would be 2100 points ($21 USD). The price of $30 for this compilation is $9 more than downloading the originals probably because it has added a special CD and booklet. The disc, unlike the download versions, is also transferable between the Wii and Wii U.
 * In the Eurozone, the combined price of the originals is €21 (about $27.20 USD) and the price for the compilation is €30 (about $38.86 USD), which means the compilation is (like the American price in Dollars) €9 more expensive.
 * In Australia, the combined price of the originals is $36 AUD (about $33.76 USD), meaning the compilation is $1 AU less than the originals.
 * In the UK, the game package is also cheaper with an RRP of £25 (less from online retailers), £3 less than the combined individual price of £28 (4x£7, more if the Wii Points are bought via a Nintendo Points card at retail).
 * On the Game Select screen, there is a button setting that can be changed just like the original game. This affects only the Classic and GameCube controllers, not the Wii Remote.
