[[File:Mario Game & Watch.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Box art for ''Super Mario Bros.'']]
'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' is a [[Game & Watch]] version of [[Super Mario Bros.|the original NES game]]. It appeared as part of the New Wide Screen and Crystal Screen series. Released between the two is an extremely rare Game & Watch that comes with a case that looks like [[Family Computer Disk System]]'s mascot Diskun, which was awarded to contestants of the [[Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race]] tournament that was held from October 30 to December 15, 1987 in Japan.<ref>[https://pony.velvet.jp/fcdisk/fmcmdskw14.html Disk Fax service data] Retrieved 20 February 2021</ref><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 do 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.

==Story==
'''Story from the instruction booklet'''<ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/images/G&W/Review/SMB/SMB_YM-105_Page8-9.jpg ''Super Mario Bros.'' manual, page 7]. Retrieved November 25, 2015.</ref>

<blockquote>
Mario, Help!

I am Princess Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom. I am in the hands of the Bowser, King of the Koopa. Please rescue me and bring back the peace to the Kingdom of Mushroom. But Mario, you must pass through the dangerous 8 Worlds and face all the ferocious enemy that confronts you.

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.

Princess Toadstool
</blockquote>

[[Bowser]] has kidnapped [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], and [[Mario]] is off to save her. The difference is that at the end of every level, Mario will find the Princess without having to fight Bowser or a boss.

==Gameplay==
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 [[Spiny|Spinies]], and [[Bullet Bill]]s will appear randomly. There is a total of nine loops of increasing difficulty. There are two types of levels: scroll screen levels and timer screen levels. On the scroll screen levels, Mario must travel a given distance displayed on the screen. On 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 [[platform]]s, just like in the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|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. (Wide Screen)]</ref> 

The Game & Watch has a 1-bit palette (only black and white). Due to the low-powered CPU, the game does not feature [[Luigi]] or multiplayer mode.

Holding Jump and pressing the Game button will start Mario on L3-1, with 90 distance and enemies enabled.
