[[File:Smassmb3title.png|thumb|Title screen of the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' where the Battle Game can be selected.]]

The '''Battle Game''' is a competitive remake of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' selectable on the title screen for the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Unlike the [[Mario Bros. (Super Mario Bros. 3)|similar minigame]] found in the 2-player mode, actions that happen within this version does not affect the players' progress in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. The Battle Game is the inspiration for the [[Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance remake of ''Mario Bros.'']] found in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series and ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''.

==Gameplay==
[[File:SMAS Battle Game.png|left|thumb|The Battle Game]]
For each round, the goal for [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] is to be the last brother standing or to be the first to grab five [[coin]]s that emerge from the top [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] after defeating an enemy. Winning five rounds will add a star under the brother's name. Since five victories are required to earn a star, the maximum number of rounds is nine. After a player gets six stars, all stars are reset. There are no bonus stages.

===Other enemies===
These enemies do not award coins and appear in every round.
{{content description
|image1=[[File:MBSNES Troopa.png]]
|name1='''[[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]]'''
|description1=A single green Koopa appears in every round. Unlike other enemies, it can be [[stomp]]ed, and in the process, the player can kick its [[Green Shell|shell]] at the opposing player. When its shell collides with other enemies, it merely knocks them slightly upward and sails right through [[Boo]]s. While it can be stunned, it cannot be permanently defeated. It speeds up after recovering from being stunned but does not change color. The sprite for this Koopa is not the same as the one found in the main game.
|image2=[[File:MBSNES Boo.png]]
|name2='''[[Boo]]'''
|description2=Boos replace the [[Fireball (obstacle)|fireballs]] found in the [[Mario Bros. (Super Mario Bros. 3)|2-player mode's version]]. Although sharing the same sprite, one type attacks by moving in a horizontal wavy pattern while the other bounces around diagonally. The latter's behavior is different from its fireball counterpart in that it can go through the wraparound screen. Boos spawn from the left side of the screen. Hitting a [[POW Block]] will cause them to disappear. Like the Koopa, its sprite is also unique.
