List of differences between SMB1 and SMA*
-Mario/Luigi start with 5 lives instead of 3.
-There is theme music on the title screen (it's a remix of the water world music.)
-In two player mode, when one person finishes a level, the other person gets to play;
in the original version the other person got to play only when the first person lost
a life. This change is makes the game a lot more fair!
-In the "More Difficult Quest" there is a star next to the world number indicating that
you are playing the second quest.
-Mario and Luigi seem to jump a bit differently. This shows when you are performing the
100+ life trick in level 3-1 (see other FAQ's for that).
-Toad comes out of a bag when you beat the castle instead of just standing there. He also
appears with some mushroom friends (the higher the world you are in, the more friends appear
with him.)
-There is new bonus music for the underground bonus areas (and the sky bonus areas, too).
There is also a picture of Mario or Luigi giving a "peace" sign.
-Mario/Luigi gives a "peace" sign while going down pipes.
-The underground music is changed to SMB3 underground music (it actually has a rhythm).
-The "Minus One" World can not be found in this game. If you try to perform the trick, as
soon as you get to the other side of the wall, it will say "Welcome to the Warp Zone."
There is no way you can make it in the pipe fast enough.
-In castles that are mazes, the game gives off a little "ding" sound if you are going the
right way. If you are going the wrong way, the game gives of a "dud" sound.
-In the original version, Mario/Luigi made a different jumping sound when they were big
compared to when they were small. In this game, the sound is the same whether they are
big or small.
-Mario/Luigi give a "peace" sign as they enter castles.
-Mario/Luigi enter the second door in the castle unlike in the original where they enter in
the first door.
-Bowser is bigger (he looks like the one from SMB3).
-There is a "Boss Theme" for when you fight Bowser. (There is also a "Final Boss Theme" for
world 8-4).
-Bowser falls into the lava (you actually SEE him falling in).
-Princess Toadstool looks normal (in size).
-The ending is slightly different (I won't spoil it, but it's not much).
-You can't press "B" to select a world (as princess says in the end of the original version).
-Luigi is in green overalls instead of white.
-Luigi is a bit taller in this game.
-Mario is a bit fatter in this game (this is not a bad thing....).
-In the original game, world 6-3 was all white (snow?). In this game it is normal colors.
-After you beat the game, it restarts the game in the "More Difficult Quest". In the
NES version, it returns to the title screen.
-In World 8-4, there is a part when you go underwater. In the NES version, it plays the
Underwater Music, but in this version, it continues to play the castle music.
-You can no longer pause the game from controller 1 when Luigi is playing.
-When you start a level the screen now shows a little box with all the different types
of enemies in the level
-Mario looks completely different - he doesn't look so "blocky".
-When a shell is kicked in the NES version, the sound it makes when it hits
all the enemies is the same. But in SMAS, it gets higher and higher pitched
as it gets closer to 1-up. Taken from SMW.
-Hammer Brothers now make noises when they throw hammers.
-Podoboos make noises when they leap from lava, just like in SMW.
