This is pretty obscure, but the Game Boy Advance remake of Mario Bros. (Not Super Mario Bros.) is more fun than the original.
You can run, for one thing, and the controls are more responsive in general.
It’s one of the games on Super Mario Advance, and one of the main reasons I originally wanted a GBA when it came out! I had the original Mario Bros. for the NES and thought it would be fun to have a portable version. I was right.
They did a great job updating the game!
It had never occurred to me that the two were related. Duh!
Wikipedia describes Merry Melodies as a spin-off from Looney Tunes!
The title of Looney Tunes was inspired by Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies.
