Last night after playing Super Mario Bros 3, I woke up with vivid memories of unlocking the secret White Toad House in a dream.... Which is what I had been trying to do earlier in the evening.
Restless and unable to sleep, I figured I might as well go ahead and unlock the secret Toad House (containing a special powerup) by collecting virtually all the coins in the target level.
I proceeded to discover that with the updated graphics and textures in the Super Mario All-Stars version that I'm playing, they decided to make the secret Toad Houses blue in color... (

I don't mind the updated textures and backgrounds for the most part, but somehow, I really prefer the classic White Mushroom house with black spots. It's unique and special, just like so many other things in the game. I feel like one of those old Star Wars fans, upset at all the digital enhancements in the updated films...
