'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' which appeared as part of the New Widescreen and Crystal Screen series, both of which were predated by an extremely rare "special" Game & Watch shaped like Famicom mascot Diskun which was awarded to winners of the F-1 Grand Prix Tournament in Japan.<ref>[http://www.handheldmuseum.com/Nintendo/SMBPromo.htm The Handheld Games Museum: the "Special" ''Super Mario Bros.''] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref><ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/special.htm In the Attic's page on the "Special" ''Super Mario Bros.''] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref> | |||
'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] | |||
These versions of ''Super Mario Bros.'' are all essentially the same except for hardware (the Crystal Screen had a transparent screen, while the other two versions were more basic Game & Watch systems). The overall plot is the same as the console ''Super Mario Bros.'', but the game is shorter and simpler. | |||

At the end of each world, an illusion of me will be there to guide you to the next world. However, there are also friends around you. On some of the floors you ride on, there are STARMAN and 1 UP MUSHROOM which I have hidden. These will appear when the floor is punched from the bottom with the JUMP button. The STARMAN makes you invincible for 10 seconds and the 1 UP MUSHROOM gives you 1 extra life. This is the utmost I can offer you Mario, and from here on you must use your own strength. Please save me as soon as you can. | At the end of each world, an illusion of me will be there to guide you to the next world. However, there are also friends around you.

Mario must go through eight auto-scrolling levels without falling and losing a life. When the levels are cleared, Mario must repeat them in the next loop. The second loops and onward have enemies. Further, [[Lakitu]]s toss a [[hammer]] instead of tossing [[Spinies]], and [[Bullet Bill]]s will appear randomly. There are a total of nine loops of increasing difficulty. There are two types of levels; scroll screen levels and timer screen levels. In the scroll screen levels, Mario must travel a given distance displayed on the screen. In the timer screen levels, Mario has to go through the world within a given time. Mario can also obtain [[1-Up Mushroom]]s and [[Super Star]]s by hitting platforms, just like the NES version, at certain places during specific events within the game.<ref>[http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.2959 Replacement Docs - Super Mario Bros.
