|'''''Mario Bros.''''' is the second arcade game starring [[Mario]] as a protagonist, coming after ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''. The game's main attraction was featuring cooperative two-player functionality with Mario's recently introduced brother, [[Luigi]]. The two are in a sewer, battling various enemies leaking from the plumbing, bashing the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]]s underneath them to stun them before kicking them away. Many aspects from this game recur in later ''Mario'' franchise games, notably [[coin]]s, [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, [[POW Block]]s, and enemy [[Shellcreeper|turtle]]s. The game has been ported innumerable times to various systems.

|'''''Kaettekita Mario Bros.''''' is a Japan-only game for the [[Family Computer Disk System]], being mostly a more graphically accurate port of the original arcade game than the 1983 [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] port. However, it also has new features, such as the ability to change direction mid-[[jump]] and a slot machine [[minigame]]. Many of its graphical enhancements were used in a 1993 European NES port of ''Mario Bros.''

|'''''Mario Clash''''', unlike its predecessors, stars only Mario, but it otherwise keeps the same gameplay formula. It takes place in the [[Clash House Tower]], where Mario needs to defeat invading enemies in both the standard playing field and in the background by using the [[Virtual Boy]]'s depth and [[Koopa Troopa|Koopa]] shells.

|The [[Game & Watch]] game '''''Mario Bros.''''' was released before the arcade game (and as such is technically the first appearance of Luigi), though it also started development later. Gameplay-wise, the games have nothing in common, with the Game & Watch game featuring Mario and Luigi working in a bottling plant, with one of the brothers appearing on each of its two screens. It was ported to both ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''.

|'''''Super Mario Bros. 3''''' features a battle mode called "Classic Mario Bros.," which is an altered version of the original. It is the first rendition to replace [[Shellcreeper]]s with [[Spiny|Spinies]]. A further edited version appears in the ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' version of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.
