Super Mario’s various powerups do much more than simply make Mario stronger. In fact, they all have very specific advantages and disadvantages, even when you’re tiny! Your level of powerup will affect almost every aspect of how you approach the game, and we think that this is why Super Mario Bros. has stood the test of time as one of the all-time great examples of video game design. Let us know what other examples you can think of in the comments below, and we will reply to some in the next episode of Game/Show!
