Editing Super Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)

'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] adaptation of the [[Super Mario Bros.|original NES game of the same name]]. It was released in 1986 as the first of the Crystal Screen series, with a transparent screen, weak speakers, and simple character designs compared to later rereleases. [[Mario]], for example, resembles how he appeared in earlier titles such as ''[[Mario's Cement Factory]]''. The next release is the extremely rare version that comes with packaging that looks like [[Family Computer Disk System]]'s mascot Diskun, which was awarded to contestants of the ''[[Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race]]'' tournament that was held from October 30 to December 15, 1987, in Japan.<ref>{{cite|language=ja|url=pony.velvet.jp/fcdisk/fmcmdskw14.html|title=ディスクシステム - ディスクファックスからのお知らせメッセージ|publisher=箱のすみっこげーむ資料|accessdate=February 20, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite|url=www.handheldmuseum.com/Nintendo/SMBPromo.htm|title=Nintendo Super Mario Bros<nowiki>[sic]</nowiki> Promo|publisher=The Handheld Games Museum|accessdate=July 26, 2024|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20220804212505/http://www.intheattic.co.uk/special.htm|title="Special" ''Super Mario Bros.''|publisher=In the Attic|language=en-gb|accessdate=July 26, 2024}}</ref> This special edition, of which only 10,000 were ever produced, was the only version available in Japan as [[Nintendo]] had discontinued releasing new Game & Watch titles there after spring 1985. Its mold differentiates it from all other Game & Watch units. The special edition updates Mario's design to make him more recognizable. In 1988, this game was rereleased as part of the New Wide Screen series, which is actually an older series than the Crystal Screen series. Like the special edition, this version uses the updated character design and has better audio, but lacks the transparent screen. A [[Mini Classics]] version that is essentially the same as the special edition and the New Wide Screen version was released in 1998.
