'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' that appeared as part of the New Wide Screen and Crystal Screen series. Both of them 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> The Crystal Screen version had a transparent screen, while the other two versions were more basic Game & Watch systems. This is one of the few Game & Watch games that does not have a Game B. | |||
These versions of ''Super Mario Bros.'' are all essentially the same in terms of presentation; the overall plot is the same as the console ''Super Mario Bros.'', but the game is shorter and simpler. | |||
