Really? I was thinking it was pretty impressive, given the considerable limitations of the platform. Keep in mind that something like Pitfall! was a clean slate and could be designed around the 2600's weaknesses. With SMB, you're implementing a design that was created for a far more capable machine, and you can't stray too far from the source material without losing the essence of the port. At the very least, it's closer to the original than something like the 2600 port of Donkey Kong, which was professionally written and commercially released back in the day.
