Do you like Super Mario Bros. or Super Mario Bros: the lost levels?

[fcgamer]

Mario Bros. is an okay game.  It is an arcade game....great for killing time, but after blowing a few quarters (or spending 10 - 15 minutes), I quickly lose interest and am ready for something else.

With Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 (J version), there is something interesting going on, for me.  I love Super Mario Bros. And I used to think that I loved the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, that is, until I actually took off the training wheels (i.e. Super Mario All Stars remake) and got myself a Famicom port copy of the game.  I quickly gave the game a go, here and there, but just could not get into it so much.  My biggest problem is that because I know SMB like the back of my hand, I *feel* as though I should know SMB2J the same way...and then I do...well until I whip myself into a pit or a goomba, and have to start from square one.  That game is challenging, but mentally I feel as though it shouldn't be (due to my relationship with the original SMB), and hence my problem.  I have played (and almost mastered) BAttletoads, and while challenging, it doesn't feel like it should be easy, mentally.

How about "All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros." "Vs. Super Mario Bros." or "Return of Mario Bros." ?
