Editing Mario Bros. (Game Boy Advance)

'''''Mario Bros.''''' is a [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of the [[Mario Bros. (game)|arcade game of the same name]] included in every ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' game, as well as in the Game Boy Advance release of ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. (It is not included in the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]].) There are very minor differences between each release.<ref>{{cite|url=https://tcrf.net/Mario_Bros._Classic#Revisional_Differences|title=''Mario Bros. Classic''|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=November 11, 2021}}</ref>

The Battle mode is based on the [[Battle Game (Super Mario All-Stars)|Battle Game]] from ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' in which players start off as [[Super Mario (form)|Super Mario]]s and compete against each other to collect five [[coin]]s first after defeating enemies or being the last one standing. The Battle mode has three difficulty options that decide what enemies will appear and what type of floors there will be. The Easy difficulty does not have any slippery floors, while the Hard difficulty is predominantly slippery. There is also the option to turn off [[Fireball (obstacle)|fireballs]] and to give players handicaps by adjusting the number of coins they start off with. There are four different stages that cycle through until one player manages to win five times, after which it resets to the first stage. If there are only two players in the Battle mode, there will be a [[Trash Can|garbage can]] at the bottom, replacing the lower POW Block. Players can be thrown in the garbage can. A player in the garbage can is stuck there for several seconds, putting them at a disadvantage, but they will come out with an item that may help them fight their rival.

|name1='''[[Coin]]'''

|description1=A coin appears each time an enemy is defeated, with the exception of the last one defeated. Coins also make an appearance every five stages in a "Test Your Skill" event. If the player collects all of these coins, they will receive a point bonus. They can also hatch from [[egg]]s in the 2 player Battle mode. In Battle mode, being the first to collect five coins is one of the ways to win a round.

|name2='''[[POW Block]]'''

|description2=POW Blocks always appear in the center of the level and at the very top, except in the 2 player Battle, which replaces the bottom block with a [[Trash Can|garbage can]]. It knocks over all enemies onscreen when a brother hits one of the blocks. They can be used only three times; after the third time, the block disappears and does not reappear until later phases in the Classic mode. In the Battle mode, they are respawned for every round, and in the 2 player version, they can be found in the garbage can. They can be picked up and thrown, but they disappear after a single use. POW Blocks in the Classic mode are blue, and those in the Battle mode are red.

*Despite the appearance of a [[Shellcreeper]] and [[Luigi]] on this remake's title screen, Shellcreepers and Luigi are replaced by [[Spiny]]s and other [[Mario]]s. This is because the title screen was originally used for another remake of ''Mario Bros.'' included as a sample in the ''Mario Factory'' software for [[Nintendo]]'s [[nwiki:Game Processor|Game Processor]].<ref>{{cite|author=LuigiBlood|url=luigiblood.neocities.org/gameprocessor|title=GPC Documentation Page|publisher=neocities.org|accessdate=November 8, 2023|archive=web.archive.org/web/20231105030715/https://luigiblood.neocities.org/gameprocessor}}</ref>
