Gamelog Session #2
GAMEPLAY
I had been a little familiar with Super Mario Brothers for Super Nintendo so by the second game session I had gotten a little bored. Though it had been a while since I had played this game but it just seemed like it had gotten a bit more difficult! I could still imagine someone very young play this game but it seemed to be more complicated than the original had been.
I was entertained by all the new features such as being able to pick up items such as mushrooms and Power Stars. Each world also contains its own fortress where Mario meets the Koopaling airship. My favorite feature, however, is the houses that in each level where Mario can enter and receive a new item from one out of three boxes.
DESIGN
The levels of the game had become more complex but the controls remained simple and therefore easy to learn. Because the levels had become more complicated, they were more interesting. The different worlds was the best element of this game. I also thought that it was convenient that they had created a map of all the different worlds to conquer.
The tone of the game was extremely playful mostly because of its background music and sounds. I liked the fact that at the end of each level the player would receive a new item. Super Mario Brothers 3 was definitely more complicated than the simple game I grew up with which probably affects the age range of players of this game. However it does not go too far in restricting its players. Another good feature of the game was the lack of violence in comparison to games created today.

Gamelog session #1
SUMMARY
In Super Mario Brothers 3, Mario must save seven kings from seven worlds containing different obstacles. On the two-player mode the players can play either Mario or his brother, Luigi. The object of the game is to get to "conquer" each world by either avoiding or stomping on enemies.
GAMEPLAY
I had a great amount of fun while playing this game. Super Mario Brothers 3 is truly unique in comparison to newer, more violent games of the present. I was in a very good mood during the game session mostly due to the fact that the characters in the game were not overwhelmingly hostile and it appeared very simple to play.
I liked that the controls were so incredibly simple and that the game was suitable for all ages. Mario and Luigi were fun and exuberant characters to play. I thought that the narrative progression of the game was quite consistent and creative. I liked the idea of having different worlds because it made the game more interesting. For example, Water Land contained underwater enemies like fish.
