Four alternatives to play Super Mario Bros on your Android mobile
Yes, okay. We know. It's not the same and it's not very close either, but there are many of us who are wishing that Nintendo would finally give in and bring its most famous plumber to the Android store. For the moment, we have to make do with some alternatives that swarm around Google Play and that have many elements that suspiciously remind us of the mythical game . Blocks of coins, jumps and enemies to kill when you jump on them are mixed in levels full of platforms.We have chosen four of these titles to give them a brief review and try to satisfy our cravings while we wait for the arrival of the authentic Super Mario Bros (we are convinced that it will happen sooner or later ).
We remember that in this case we have opted for the games that exist within the Google Play store, although there are also other ways to relive the Super Mario Bros experience such as by means of emulators ( although there we already entered a field outside the legal channels).
1. Lep's World
This cute character may be a goblin, but the resemblances to the world of Super Mario are evident. Our adventures in this game take us through different levels in worlds. The main character can perform jumps or throw some pineapples that we collect throughout the level (we can store a maximum of 10 pineapples).In addition, we can receive a maximum of three hits from enemies. This counter is recovered by collecting the lucky clovers that we find along the way. The handling is very successful and despite the similarities, this is a very original title that can give us many hours of fun It is, without a doubt, our choice to remove the jumpsuit from Super Mario Bros.

2. Super Max
But if you are more of a purist and you are not convinced to change the red of Super Mario for the green goblin, the title that most resembles to the original experience is Super Max, which at times seems to be traced to the mythical title. In this case, we have a character dressed in red and with a cap who gets older when he eats a hamburger (at least it seems he althier than discriminatingly eating mushrooms) and instead of fireballs he throws baseballs .In the levels we will have to face pipes, brick blocks and various enemies that will put our reflexes to the test. Of course, from time to time it can be exasperating to see how our pseudo Mario suddenly dies a couple of centimeters from the nearest enemy.

3. Super Oscar
Another alternative that stands out for the speed with which the main character moves around the screen, which brings more action to the title . In general, it maintains the more classic Super Mario aesthetic, although it is common for it to crash when we press the button to pause the game.

4. Andrio's World
The last alternative that we are going to review here.Andrio's Worldbrings us a character with aclear nod to Luigi,since he appears dressed in green. Again we have faster dynamics with swift movement and the ability to jump very high. In addition, we will face highly recognizable enemies such as shells that fly through the air or cannonballs that move horizontally across the screen. One of the details that we liked the most is the ability to use the mobile's motion sensor to move from left to right, although we think it's a little lacking of finesse in the movement of the character.
