Super Mario Bros.: Difference between revisions

After beating the game, the player is given the option to pick a world to play in Hard Mode, where all Goombas are replaced by Buzzy Beetles, and all enemies walk faster; all of the elevator-style lifts are about sixty-percent of their original size, while Firebars appear in all possible locations. Additionally, the music is slightly faster. However, the player still has the same amount of time to complete each level. The Mario Bros. gain no special powers in Hard Mode, and they receive no extra points when they defeat an enemy. The story remains exactly the same, as each of the first seven castles contain a Mushroom Retainer that needs rescuing, while the eighth castle has Princess Peach. If the player finishes the game on Hard Mode, they will not unlock anything new from the previous time the game was finished. However points can be gained faster by jumping on a Buzzy Beetle and then running with the shell as it hits other Buzzy Beetles and Koopa Troopas.Also levels are the same as their harder clones (such as 1-3 and 5-3, 5-3 had Bullet Bills but in Hard Mode,1-3 also has them thus, making 1-3 and 5-3 the same). Super Mario All Stars also had a hard mode, but not the ability to choose his world because that was already available. The level name has stars before them (*1-1).
