'''''Mario no Daibōken''''' is an obscure VHS and Betamax strategy guide released in Japan in 1986 by {{wp|Pony Canyon}} for ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' It features tips for various [[level]]s, live-action segments starring a [[Mario]] mascot costume, and "[[Ground Theme (Super Mario Bros.)#Mario no Daibōken|GO GO Mario!!]]," a lyrical version of the game's Ground Theme. "GO GO Mario!!" would later be released as a single in Japan.

The video guides the viewer through a quick playthrough of ''Super Mario Bros.'', starting in [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-1]], using the [[Warp Zone]] in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]] to warp to World 4, and using [[World 4-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 4-2]]'s Warp Zone to warp to World 8 and complete the game. 

The video also shows a variety of secrets, such as the aforementioned Warp Zones in World 1-2 and World 4-2, various hidden 1-Up locations, and the infinite 1-Up trick in [[World 3-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 3-1]]. The video contains a rare instance of [[Nintendo]] officially showcasing and endorsing the use of [[glitch]]es in its games, featuring a segment all about various bugs present in the game.

All of this is regularly interrupted by live-action segments featuring a Mario mascot costume who can be seen playing the game. Mario introduces new segments and gives commentary, and he plays a prominent role in the "GO GO Mario!!" music video shown at the end of the VHS.

A vinyl single for this video, also entitled ''[[Mario no Daibōken (album)|Mario no Daibōken]]'', was released on March 30, 1986, but neither of the two songs featured on the record ("Mario no Daibōken" and "[[Koopa Ichizoku Kazoe Uta]]") were featured in the actual video. The single had an exclusive promotional version titled ''[[Mario no Daibōken/GO GO Mario!!]]'', which replaced "Koopa Ichizoku Kazoe Uta" with "GO GO Mario!!"
