I'm one of the few people who thinks this game is good, at least this Super Mario All-Stars version, thanks to it saving after each level, which does alleviate the frustration and makes overcoming tough challenges more satisfying. I also think this game is overhated. Aaaaaaaaaaand, here we go, my credibility goes from zero into negatives now.

(BTW, I recommend watching this retrospective by Jeremy Parish for the context behind this game, hopefully it'll give you a better understanding on why it is the way it is)

I don't think it's the worst Mario game ever, and I'd daresay I enjoy the All Stars version of it just a little more than the golden goose that is Super Mario 64, but it's disliked for a reason. I feel like the ROM hack "SMB Special: 35th Anniversary" (which in turn is a pseudo port of an obscure PC sequel Hudson did for Japanese computers back in the day IIRC) does the whole "SMB1 but harder" concept a bit better these days. It's (of course) not as difficult as this game, but I think you would enjoy it!
