I have the SNES and Genesis versions and I prefer the SNES, it has much better sound and visuals, but control is bad on both, with the genesis seeming to run a smidge faster and being a little easier. They both are no where near as good as the arcade. You might also want to check out the NES version which is a totally different game, more of a platformer, but still kinda mediocre.

I've only done the NES and SNES, and I think the NES port stand very well against its 16 bit counterpart(s)

In Europe, yes, but not in the U.S.

Might be one reason that (supposedly) the ESRB has rated the game for PS3 release.

Well, if it was only in Europe, then I guess it doesn't matter for me.

The Super Nintendo version was given to some company called Mindscape, and they did a poor port of the game. Play the Genesis version if you want something closer to the arcade game

Which of the three versions do you think are the best of these games:
SMB
SMB2 (not ll)
SMB3
I personally prefer Super Mario Allstars for the snes. It improves the visuals a bit and you also get to use a snes pad which I prefer over the NES PAD. Your thoughts?
