8-bit Thief

I grew up playing Nintendo and GameBoy with Super Mario Bros. Super Mario is not my favorite classic video game, but it is really fun and easily the most well known game world wide. Most everyone can recognize the mustached guy in the red hat and his killer theme song. The game is a simple side-scroller. Run, jump, collect coins. Next level, run, jump, collect coins. It seems like all the mobile games are ripping off Super Mario Bros. I've played half a dozen mobile games all based on the same mechanic. Run, jump, collect coins. I wonder if the creator of Super Mario feels like others are stealing his idea. The only thing missing is the catchy theme music.
