Super Mario Bros. Deluxe for Game Boy Color comes as a loose cartridge — just the game itself, ready to drop into your system and play. Coolection has tested this one and it was running great, loading up and playing as it should, though as with any cartridge from this era, your specific console and setup can have a small effect on how it behaves.

Super Mario Bros. Deluxe is one of the finest portable reimaginings of a classic ever put on a Nintendo handheld. Released for the Game Boy Color, it takes the landmark NES original and rebuilds it ground-up for the small screen, preserving the tight, iconic platforming that defined a generation while layering in enough new content to make it feel like a genuine event rather than a simple port. The familiar Mushroom Kingdom levels are all here — World 1-1 through the Bowser showdown — but the game surrounds them with challenge modes, hidden collectibles, and a rival system that gives you a ghost of your best run to race against. There is a lot more game here than the cartridge's small size would suggest.
The Game Boy Color version introduced a whole secondary mode called "You VS. Boo" that challenges you to beat a ghostly rival's score on each stage, and unlocking everything the game has to offer kept players glued to those tiny screens long after they'd memorized every warp pipe. The presentation is charming throughout — the GBC hardware is pushed nicely to give Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom cast a bright, colorful look that holds up well even today. Challenge maps, the original Lost Levels stages, and a robust in-game trophy system round out a package that rewards completionists without ever getting in the way of just playing the game.
Beyond all that extra content, what makes this cartridge special is how faithfully it captures what made the 1985 NES original feel so good. The jump arc, the enemy patterns, the tight window of timing that separates a clean run from a pit — it's all there, translated to a handheld with real care. For anyone who grew up with the original and wants it in their pocket, or for a younger player discovering where platformers began, this is an exceptional introduction.
This one is a great pick for any Game Boy Color collector, a dedicated Mario fan building out their handheld library, or anyone who just wants one of the best classic platformers ever made in a form they can take anywhere.
