Editing Talk:Super Mario Bros.

==(First topic)==
Since the Glitches section only has one glitch (Minus World), and there is an [[Minus World|article]] for this glitch, shouldn't we just remove the glitch section in the article entirely?
[[User:Waluigi Freak 99|Waluigi Freak 99]] 17:49, 9 September 2006 (EDT)

:Or put a link to the Minus World and take out the section...whatever suits you. -- [[User: Son of Suns|Son of Suns]]

Actually, there ''are'' more glitches.-- Paper Mario Kart
:It is not really recommended to reply to old conversations. {{User:Mario4Ever/sig}}

== Enemies section ==

Shouldn't there be some sort of section for the enemies in the game? After all, the instruction booklet included such a section, and it would seem fitting here. --[[User:Alan Redgown56|Alan Redgown56]] 15:09, 24 December 2006 (EST)

== Disambuigation ==

This page should be a Disambuigation for SMB, [[Mario Bros.]], and [[Super Mario Bros. (movie)]]. Comments?

{{User:Max2/sig}}
:No. This is by far the most common use of the phrase "Super Mario Bros.", while the meanings of things like [[Yoshi's Island]] all are used commonly enough. The movie can be linked to with {{tem|about}} or something similar, and Mario Bros. (talking about the game?) has a quite different name. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:52, 8 August 2007 (EDT)

no! The brothers themselves, who are called the Super Mario Brothers many times! {{User:Max2/sig}}

Max has a good point.  I would be in favor of the move of this page to Super Mario Bros. (game) and linking the disambiguation page to the Mario and Luigi articles.  Oh, and for the record, plenty of casual gamers call this game Mario Bros.  I know we cater to the hardcore crowd, but it would prevent any confusion. {{User:Stumpers/sig}}

== Story section ==

==List of Levels==
In the "list of levels" section, there are several links to non-existent pages. If I make these pages existent, does that count as SMWikifying? Or does it count as helping this page in any way? {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig|Either way, I'm making the pages.}}
:I don't know, but I have another question: Why is the underwater area in 8-4 secret? I think you '''have to''' go/swim through it to reach Bowser, don't you? I don't know how it is in 5-2, though. And BTW, sorry if that sounds impolite (I don't hope so), but your world pages sound a li'l bit opiniated. (e.g., the word "oddly" or considering [[Hammer Bro.]] as the most hated enemy in the game) :( See [[Talk:Main Page#Opiniated Language]]. --[[User:PaperStriker|PaperStriker]] 09:28, 17 January 2008 (EST)
No, that's not impolite! I'm still learning what not to do around here. As for 8-4, it isn't secret and I'm changing that on this page, and leaving it out when I make the article. I'll change the opinionated words though...you're kind of right on that. Thanks. {{User:Stooben Rooben/sig|<nowiki>*goes to fix boo-boos*</nowiki>}}

== Trivia section ==

One of the two trivias of SMB is that "contrary to popular belief, it is possible for the player to jump over the flag in certain levels of the game," or something.  This is not the first place I've heard this rumor, but for some reason there are no pictures of this trick, or list of levels that you ''can'' jump over the flag.  Has anyone been able to do it, cuz if not we might have to consider deleting this trivia. {{User:Glitchman/sig2}}
:It is possible in ''The Lost Levels'' because of the new spring-boards there, but in ''Super Mario Bros.'' it is only a glitch and can go to the List of Glitches page with further elaboration. - {{User:Cobold/sig}} 16:49, 25 January 2008 (EST)

No problem. Isn't that image of Peach from a different game too though? I thought her hair has a different color back in the original game. [[User:The Gravitator|The Gravitator]] 13:33, 6 September 2008 (EDT)
:She always had gold hair out of game.  Much like the Brown/Orange Yoshi thing - color limitations caused in-game sprites to differ from out-game artwork. {{User:Stumpers/sig}} 20:14, 6 September 2008 (EDT)

This guy corrupted Super Mario Bros. and I noticed whenever he gets a mushroom or fire flower, it makes a different tune that's not glitched up. Here is the link --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuL0Ij0RU10&feature=related --[[User:Onestop|Onestop]] 16:46, 13 October 2008 (EDT)
:He used a Game Genie code. Therefore, obviously it shouldn't be included in the article. Stuff without Game Genie, such as the infamous World-1 glitch or stuff, should be added. Also, if the guy corrupted it, it makes it his own video, which is not nnintendo related. Other comments? {{User:Super-Yoshi/sig}}

== Stars on Level List? ==

I've been wondering, why are there stars on Worlds 3 and 6? [[User:Mr.C|Mr.C]]

== North American release date change ==

I have changed the North American release date (formerly listed in the infobox as 18/10/1985) to "1985/1986". (In fact, it should probably be changed to just 1986.) It was impossible to release the game in Japan on 13/9 and then turn around and release it in the USA one month later. A discussion is currently taking place at Wikipedia ([[:wikipedia:Talk:Super Mario Bros.#North American Release Date]]) and here's what I can gather from reading it:
*SMB was released in Japan on 13/9/85, as we know.
*Nintendo approached New York retailers around the same time in order to get their products in store for Christmas. It is thought 18/10 is the day they started this. SMB was not even a pack-in in Japan yet. The Christmas shopping season started on 29/11 that year. 
*During the same three months, sales of SMB boomed in Japan. Then-Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi decided to pack-in SMB with the Famicom in late November or early December. '''Then''', he decided to bring it to the US. Which means US game development commenced in December 1985, pretty much ruling out a 1985 release date. 
*The NES was test-marketed that Christmas in NY. Only 50K of 100K units sold, so they went to LA the next February. It's pretty certain that SMB was not available in NY, but it possibly could have been available in LA. Supporting this is an ad from the LA Times in 13/3/86 that supposedly mentions SMB. (It's pay-to-view, so no one knows for sure - all we know comes from the descriptive text that comes with the Google result.)
*So it is reasonable to conclude that SMB was released to the entire country sometime after that LA Times ad. Similar ads and full-blown news stories start to widely appear in August. The first mention in any English-language media is a 19/8/86 Reuters story in the Philadelphia Inquirer and several other newspapers. 
Conclusion: Now, Mario games can be released almost simultaneously in all regions, and Nintendo knows they will sell well. But it was different in 1985. Nintendo had no idea how SMB would sell in Japan, and it would have been silly to throw money at a US version without ensuring it had strong Japanese sales first. SMB did sell well in Japan, and (to quote one of the participants in the linked discussion) "sales take time, they don't happen immediately." By the time Nintendo realised it would be a good idea to come to the US, it was already 1986. The 18/10/85 date is pure hokey. Nintendo doesn't even know where they got it from. So there's my case. [[User:Toadfan|Toadfan]] 22:07, 27 August 2009 (EDT)

Apparently some New York Times article said something about it, but until someone shows us the article, I am taking down that release date. [[User:A Link to the Present|A Link to the Present]] 19:18, 20 December 2010 (UTC)

Okay... Let's stop reverting and rereverting this on the article and talk about it. Please don't get mad but I see no proof in the article that is used as a source of information. [[User:A Link to the Present|A Link to the Present]] 10:54, 3 January 2011 (EST)

== Mushroom Retainers ==

Several users have changed the Mushroom Retainers in the Non-playable section to Toad the character now, and it still continues to happen. Once and for all: There are six Mushroom Retainers in that game! It is absolutely impossible that all these retainers are in fact Toad. Toad can '''not''' split up to six different characters that are trapped in six different fortresses. It is impossible!

The next one who switches the Mushroom Retainers with Toad without giving a '''strong and valid reason''' will immediately receive a '''warning'''. This edit had been undone too many times now! - {{User:Edofenrir/sig}} 16:43, 3 October 2009 (EDT)

== Bowser Artwork ==
[[Image:SuperMarioBrosArtwork2.jpg|thumb|The original SMB character artwork.]]
[[Image:SMB TLL Title.jpg|thumb|The flyer with the more recent artwork.]]
The user Byllant removed the Bowser artwork from this article because it is seen on the Japanese flyer for ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', aka ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. But this is not the only artwork found in this article's gallery that is printed on the flyer. If you have read the "Iwata Asks" interviews for ''Flipnote Studio'', you might know that there was just the character art on the Japanese SMB package drawn by Shigeru Miyamoto and the artwork in the manual when SMB was originally released. Then the animation artist Yoichi Kotabe came to Nintendo and drew new character art, as seen on the flyer. But if this artwork was already used before the release of ''The Lost Levels'' or not, I don't know. So either all the more recent artwork should be removed from the article and moved to ''The Lost Levels'', or a note should be added that it is unclear for which game the artwork was first used. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 07:40, 15 May 2010 (EDT)
:{{User|Platitudinous}} You sure do know your facts. Put them both on there.
::You mean adding the images to both galleries (and categories)? Actually, that's what I wouldn't like that much, as a lot of artwork has been reused various times in the franchise's history. I've seen that galleries usually ignore reused artwork. Therefore, I'd prefer to only use artwork for the earliest game it was used for sure. The only thing known for sure is that the artwork seen on the flyer didn't exist when ''Super Mario Bros.'' was originally released. As it isn't exactly known when the artwork first appeared, I'd rather add them to the ''Lost Levels'' gallery. Anyway, there needs to be consistency with the Bowser artwork. --[[User:Grandy02|Grandy02]] 17:33, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

==Game Quotes==

I just have an idea. I think it would be a good idea to include a quote from Miyamoto, Kondo, or Tezuka from the Super Mario All Stars: Limited Edition booklet. I could do it on all the game articles from the games presented in the booklet. I thought I would need permission first. And if the right thing to do is make a proposal to do this, someone please tell me, because I would be happy to do it and it would be my first proposal.

== Starting from the last world the player gets Game Over ==

With both NES Classics: Super Mario Bros. and Famicom Mini: Super Mario Bros. 2 (a.k.a. Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels), would it be worth mentioning in the Trivia section that if you press "A" and then "START" at the same time on the GBA Versions of the games, the player will start from the World they got Game Over on. What do you think?{{unsigned|Kangaflora}}

Well, unsigned comment, I'm not sure. You can add it if you wish as long as you have a source or at least have it and do it yourself. But this is an article about the original Super Mario Bros., and there is no need to get The Lost Levels involved in this. [[User:A Link to the Present|A Link to the Present]] 11:41, 16 January 2011 (EST)

"The Mario sprite on the cover is the same sprite on the Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. NES games."

But the SMB cover sprite is the Fire Mario sprite, whereas Fire Mario didn't exist in DK and Mario Bros. (Also, didn't DK and Mario Bros. have Mario with his soon to be traditional blue overalls and red shirt, while SMB had him in a different outfit?)

It just means that Mario's picture is the same shape as in the DK and MB box arts.

The [https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/5d6e9160-06ba-4341-b081-331de6756497 current source] has only one mention as a header called ''『スーパーマリオブラザーズ1・2』のヒント'' (''Super Mario Bros. 1&2'' Hints). This seems like a shorthand way of fitting "''Super Mario Bros. + Super Mario Bros. 2''" within the same space, making it informal, not the official title mentioned elsewhere in the source. It's a casual reference like ''Super Mario'' or, with some Japanese fans, 「スーマリ」 (''SuMari''), that is meant to pair with the sequel and would probably work better as just a redirect.

== Jeff Rovin's [[How to Win at Super Mario Bros. Games]] ==

''Important note: I recommend someone who owns a copy of this book makes a response.''

The book [[How to Win at Super Mario Bros. Games]] by Jeff Rovin features walkthroughs for this game and SMB3. I think it would be nice if somewhere online there were a web site talking about errors in this book's SMB walkthrough. There are in fact a few errors I have in my memory:

*Book says: the fifth Fire Bar in 1-4 moves clockwise.
*Truth: the fifth Fire Bar in 1-4 moves counterclockwise.

*Book says: the invisible 1-Up mushroom in 3-1 will be collectible if you're Super Mario and may or may not if you're small Mario.
*Truth: whether the invisible 1-Up mushroom in 3-1 is collectible depends on whether you didn't dodge any coins in 2-3.

*Book says: the underwater section of 8-4 is optional.
*Truth: the underwater section of 8-4 is compulsory.

It would also be nice if MarioWiki had an article on this book; then I could include these errors in the book's walkthrough in the article myself. [[Special:Contributions/99.101.66.106|99.101.66.106]] 13:29, August 11, 2021 (EDT)

== Split References in other media section ==
{{settled TPP}}
{{Proposal outcome|passed|7-0|Split References in other media section}}
Remember how, a while back, I proposed that the [[The Super Mario Bros. Movie#References to other media|References to other media]] section of ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'' should be moved to [[List of references in The Super Mario Bros. Movie|its own list article]]? That was because of how long it was and how much space it took up. The [[Super Mario Bros.#References in other media|References in other media]] section looks to be of equal length, and should preferably be split into its own list article of the same format.

Just to be clear, I'm '''not''' referring to the [[Super Mario Bros.#References to other media|References to other media]] section; it's far too short. It's the References '''''in''''' other media section I'm referring to. I'll make a draft in my sandbox later on (currently busy irl) to demonstrate what it would look like. {{User:RetroNintendo2008/sig}} 08:52, September 28, 2024 (EDT)

#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Given that ''Super Mario Bros.'' is likely the most iconic game in the entire franchise, this is a good opportunity to trim the references section in the main article, since I foresee this list only growing in the future. Also, once split to its own article, images could be added to make the references more immediately clear.

Actually, it is apparent in the game that the lava found in all castle levels does not harm Mario or Luigi upon contact, contrary to what is stated in the article. Sensible mistake, but a mistake nonetheless. [[Special:Contributions/162.120.22.103|162.120.22.103]] 06:04, February 16, 2025 (EST)

== Re-merge the references in later games ==

{{TPP}}
A few months ago, there was [[MarioWiki:Proposals/Archive/72#Normalise_splitting_long_References_to.2Fin_other_media_sections|a failed proposal]] to split off long references sections. With that in mind, I'm following up with a reversal of the above proposal that split [[list of references to Super Mario Bros.]] into its own page. Basically, the follow-up proposal failed because we already have the [[MarioWiki:Article size|article size]] guideline to determine when to split long pages. Although the references in later media list was somewhat lengthy, the page prior to its removal was only ~93k bytes, far below the 150k byte minimum before considering a split. Re-merging would be consistent with the majority view in that proposal as well as our article size guideline.

==Split the 25th anniversary Wii port==
{{TPP}}
We have a separate article for ''[[Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition]]'', which has the same amount of differing content from its original incarnation in the game itself (mostly the title screen) - not counting press materials - as this. Same for ''[[Donkey Kong Classics]]''. This game is separate from the main [[Virtual Console]] version of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', being a port with (minimal) differences that does hold some amount of historical significance for being a red [[Wii]] pack-in title for Mario's 25th anniversary.

===25th Anniversary Comments===
Does this mean we have to split ''Donkey Kong Original Edition'' too? Almost every reason you had for ''25th Anniversary SUPER MARIO BROS.'' to be split can also be applied to ''Donkey Kong Original Edition''. The game was pre-installed on the European edition of the 25th Mario Anniversary red Wii, it has differing content from the original NES release, and the original NES release has also seen a Virtual Console release alongside ''Original Edition''. {{User:Kaptain Skurvy/sig}} 16:26, April 17, 2025 (EDT)
:I would prefer both be split, yes. I have put a proposal on the ''Donkey Kong'' page to split ''Original Edition''. [[User:Nelsonic|Nelsonic]] ([[User talk:Nelsonic|talk]]) 16:28, April 17, 2025 (EDT)

''All-Stars Limited Edition'' was a physical disk that came with a design booklet for the series and a soundtrack disk. From what I can tell, this is just a pre-installed VC game on a limited edition red Wii. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:58, April 17, 2025 (EDT)
:{{@|Doc von Schmeltwick}} From what I can tell based on the {{iw|TCRF|The Cutting Room Floor}} article, ''[[Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition]]'' was also a Virtual Console game, just on a disk (plus extra materials). [[User:Nelsonic|Nelsonic]] ([[User talk:Nelsonic|talk]]) 21:00, April 21, 2025 (EDT)
::It being on a physical disk rather than exclusively being built-in to specific consoles is a point in SMASLE's favor. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 23:54, April 21, 2025 (EDT)

We're a bit skeptical... While we understand the thought process--unique release with differing graphics--we can't say we appreciate the precedent this sets. Namely, where do you draw the line on "unique release"? In an extreme case, you could use this as a precedent to later split, say, the PC-88 and Sharp X1 versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]'', or the 4 versions of ''[[Donkey Kong 3: Dai Gyakushū]]'' that we only have half of, when the only differences are usually just audiovisual. And in our opinion, as the accidental rising star for those games, those versions should absolutely ''not'' be split; there just are not substantial enough differences between them. Would the idea be that the versions for different computers for those games don't count as a "unique release", unlike the 25th Anniversary edition? What exactly makes a release "unique", anyways? {{User:Camwoodstock/sig}} 13:09, April 22, 2025 (EDT)

:{{@|Camwoodstock}} Yeah, I think a unique release is mostly constituted as whether or not the game has a unique title (''Super Mario Bros.'' vs. ''25th Anniversary SUPER MARIO BROS.''), is marketed as a separate release (25ASMB was a pre-installed "special game" for red Wiis, while, say, the Virtual Console version of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' was marketed as "play ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' on a new console"), and features new content (to use an example that also features a minor amount of new content, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U]]'' features videos that the original(s) do not, in the same manner that this game reskins [[? Blocks]] and ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'' merges ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' and ''Super Mario Bros.'' and reskins certain enemies and objects). I agree that differing PC versions of games released on multiple home computers would not warrant a split, in the same manner that we don't split both the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' from each other.
