After all the gajillion 2D mario games that came later and how they added so many things it didn't have, do you still like the first Super Mario? Or do you think it hasn't aged well?

I still like it, but I... don't really see any friends playing it any longer for example. Still, it's not my favorite Mario game so it's not like I play it to the or death or anything.
 
Never ever played it

So meh

Oops. With "meh" I meant that it isn't good, but isn't bad either.

Never really played it, but it's barren by today's standards. If I want to play a 2D Mario for the nostalgia, I'd go for New Super Mario Bros. I don't think I'm missing out on it by not playing it. It's a base game and it's highly influential, but later games build so much on it, and so IMO, if you're playing New Super Mario Bros., you're playing better Super Mario Bros..
 
by and large, yeah

It's hard to go back to vanilla SMB1 after SMB Crossover, though.
 
Oh, yeah, you also have fan games that build a lot on Super Mario Bros. I'm personally more interested in Super Mario Bros. X, though (man that game is harder than the Nintendo fare I'm used to).
 
Of course, it's a classic for a reason. Although I kinda prefer the updated visuals of the All Stars version and the added content of Deluxe over vanilla SMB, but I'd still gladly pop it in every now and again.
 
Honestly, it's still fun to play as its basic formula was so simple that it's held up much better than many NES-era games. It does have a few very outdated aspects, but I still enjoy playing it.
 
I’m not a fan of it, due to similar reasons as SMB2. While it’s a classic and iconic game, I don’t see any reason to play it other than that. SMB3 and SMW are fa
