It's harder to rate this whether you're trying to rate it just based off of influence from this game alone, it's absolutely one of the biggest video games to ever be created for that reason. Or it's gameplay

But for me it's just an alright Mario game now, I pretty much prefer most 2d Mario entries outside of some of the Super Mario Land titles or NSMB 2. It's definitely worth playing at least once though, and for good reason.
