The New Wide Screen, special, and Crystal Screen versions of ''Super Mario Bros.'' are all essentially the same in terms of presentation; the overall plot is the same as that of the console ''Super Mario Bros.'', but the game is shorter and simpler. | The New Wide Screen, special, and Crystal Screen versions of ''Super Mario Bros.'' are all essentially the same in terms of presentation; the overall plot is the same as that of the console ''Super Mario Bros.'', but the game is shorter and simpler. | ||
