One more:  Exact same gameplay, glitches, etc.  Different graphics and sound.  What is it?

Whoa, what the hell is this SMW skin thing? I never saw that.

Um, remaster.

Super Mario All Stars

And I wouldn't call it a remaster if they had to go in and make entirely new assets. Remasters generally involve bumping the render resolution, and then updating things like lighting, and maybe going with higher resolution textures.  It's hard to use the term "remaster" with 2D games where you're required to visually remake the game from the ground up.

 

But this whole remake/remaster debate is such a grey area.
