Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition

Super Mario All-Stars - 25th Anniversary Edition, known in North America as Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition and in Japan as Super Mario Collection Special Pack (スーパーマリオコレクション スペシャルパック), is a Mario game for the Wii which was released in Japan on October 21, 2010, in China on November 27, 2010, in Australia on December 2, 2010, in Europe on December 3, 2010 and in North America on December 12, 2010 as a Wii port of the SNES game Super Mario All-Stars.

The game is a tribute to the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. and includes an extra package, with a Super Mario History: 1985-2010 booklet, that 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 are only available for a limited time. It also has in the sountrack noises like getting a coin or completing a level.

The game itself is a direct port of Super Mario All-Stars for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game can either be played with the Wii Remote held sideways (similar to New Super Mario Bros. Wii without the motion features), the Classic Controller, the Classic Controller Pro, or with the Nintendo GameCube controller.

Nothing is changed in gameplay. Also, this game doesn't support a 16:9 ratio, therefore automatically adds letterboxing. To select a game the player must press the plus and minus buttons on the Wii Remote.

Trivia

 * A special logo has been released to celebrate the 25th Anniversary, and was used in the game.
 * A red package sporting the 25th Anniversary logo contains both the game disc and the extras.
 * On the Wii's Nintendo Channel as well as at 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 only featured in the Japanese version of the video.
 * The combined price to download all four of the original games would be 2100 points ($21 US). The price of $30 for this compilation is $9 more than downloading the originals probably because it has added a special CD and booklet.
 * In Australia, the combined price of the originals is $36 AU, meaning the All Stars compilation is $1 AU less than the originals.
 * The package for the CD features an original NES with Super Mario Bros. being played, all in a 1980s setting. Next to it are cartridges for Tennis and an unidentifiable game.
 * On the Game Select screen, there is a button setting that can be changed just like the original All Stars game, even though this doesn't affect the Wii Remote.
