description: This volume republishes material from The Anatomy of Games, a project in which classic video games are broken down to explore what works about them (and what doesn't). In short: It's a quest to discover what makes them classic. Super Mario Bros. is a master class of intuitive, approachable game design, and this book attempts to explore the design choices that set them a notch above its peers.The Anatomy of Super Mario Vol. I explores not only Super Mario Bros., one of the most influential and iconic games of all time, but also the creations that led up to it. Beginning with Donkey Kong and working through Mario's subsequent releases (including generally unrelated titles like Wrecking Crew), this book delves into the works that created a legend.
