Super Mario Bros. (video game)/YMMV

• Alternative Character Interpretation: The manual states that the Goombas are what happens to traitorous Toads. If Princess Peach has great magic powers like the above entry suggests, who do you think is carrying out their sentences?
• Anticlimax Boss: The final Bowser is basically unchanged from every other one. Like the fake Bowsers in worlds 6 and 7, he tosses hammers, but that's it.
• Awesome Music: The Overworld theme is probably the most well-known song in all of gaming. The Underwater theme isn't too bad either.
• Memetic Mutation: "...but our princess is in another castle!"
• Unfortunate Implications: Basically, as some players noted, Mario's design resembled Soviet leader Josef Stalin, Mario is the hero of the game, and the ending of a level basically depicts Mario putting down a flag that slightly resembles the peace sign and hoisting a flag that has the Soviet Red Star, causing many unfortunate implications on Soviet support. In one Nintendo Power issue, this issue was even addressed in the mailbag section, although the staff denied the resemblance, even trying to put Mario's moustache on the Russian boxer/soldier from Rocky IV.
