'''''Mario Bros. Returns''''',<ref>[https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/3ds/papermario/0/0/ Iwata Asks: Paper Mario: Sticker Star]</ref> also known as '''''Mario Bros. have returned''''',<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20150602204527/https://r.ncp.nintendo.net/whitelist|title=List of Supported Games|publisher=Nintendo Creators Program|language=en}}</ref> is a game for the [[Family Computer Disk System]] released on November 30, [[List of games by date#1988|1988]], through the Disk Writer service. This game was co-published by [[Nintendo]] and [[Nagatanien]], a Japanese food company. It is an updated version of ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' that was released only in Japan,<ref>{{cite|url=www.gamespot.com/famicomds/action/kaettekitamariobrothers/index.html|title=GameSpot|accessdate=June 22, 2024}}{{dead link}}</ref> although the 1993 European [[Nintendo Classics|Classic Series]] re-release resembles it,<ref>{{cite|url=nindb.net/nes/mario-bros-classic-series/index.html|title=''Mario Bros. Classic Series''|publisher=NinDB|accessdate=June 22, 2024|language=en}}</ref> using the same enemy sprites and colors from this game. This is the last game of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] for the Family Computer Disk System, excluding ports, as well as the last ''Super Mario'' game to be released during the {{wp|Shōwa era}} of Japan, coming out just over a month before the death of emperor {{wp|Hirohito}}.

==Game modes==
The game has several modes that can be accessed from the main menu.

===[[Mario Bros. (game)|Original Mario Bros.]]===
[[File:KMB 1P.png|thumb|left|Phase 18]]
This mode plays similarly to the Japanese arcade version of ''Mario Bros.'' However, there are several differences from the arcade or [[Arcade Classics Series|earlier NES port]].
*One of three Nagatanien advertisements will appear before the first phase. One ad is for ''ochazuke nori'' and features singer-actor {{wp|Saburō Kitajima}} who appeared in Nagatanien ads during the game's release. Its BGM is an arrangement from the commercial's song. The other ads are for ''gomoku'' fried rice mix and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' branded ''furikake''.
*[[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] can now change direction in mid-air (much like modern remakes).
*Mario's color scheme is now the same as his ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' palette.
*The graphics and music were improved somewhat compared to the earlier port.
*The top five high scores can now be saved like in the arcade version but not in the earlier port. Names can be longer and in Japanese.

===Nagatanien World===
[[File:Kaettekita Mario Bros Slots.png|thumb|The slots mini-game]]
This mode is similar to Original Mario Bros., but with three additional features:
*In addition to watching one of the three ads like above, another cut-scene addressing the player's registered name will advertise products before Phase 1.
*After losing all lives and receiving a Game Over, players will be given the chance to play a slot machine [[minigame]]. The slots can display a {{wp|kanji}} for Nagatanien, a Shellcreeper sprite, and the upper halves of sprites for Mario and Luigi. Should they get a match, they will be allowed to continue their game without the score and phase counters resetting. However, this area can only be visited once per game.
**Nagatanien (永谷園) - 4 extra lives
**Three matches - 2 extra lives
**Two matches - 1 extra life
*After reaching 100,000 points, players are given promotional codes that can be mailed in to a raffle for a pack of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''-themed playing cards. At 200,000 points, players are given another code for entry in a drawing for a ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' cartridge, which released one month earlier in Japan on the [[Family Computer]]. All players who sent in codes also had a chance to win a ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' keychain. This promotion was active from November 30, 1988 to May 31, 1989.

===Name registration===
Players 1 and 2 may register their name, age, and gender. These are used when a high score is broken and to refer to players with honorifics appropriate for their gender.

===Notices===
In this mode, a [[Shellcreeper]] explains the promotional features of Nagatanien World.
