| |''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' is the first installment in the ''Super Mario'' series. It was first released for the Famicom and the NES in 1985. This game set the standard for the later games, and it was eventually re-released for many newer systems, including the [[Game Boy Advance]] and the [[Virtual Console]] for the Wii. This game marks the first appearance for many new protagonists, species, and villains. These characters include Bowser, Princess Peach (then known as Princess Toadstool), [[Toad]] and the [[Mushroom Retainer|Mushroom Retainers]], [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and many more.

| |
| |A year after the release of ''Super Mario Bros.'', [[Nintendo]] released ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. It was released for the [[Famicom Disk System]]. It uses a slightly altered version of ''Super Mario Bros.'''s engine, with different levels and new features including altered graphics and new enemy behavior. This game is known in Japan as ''Super Mario Bros. 2''; Nintendo of America originally deemed this game too challenging and too much like the original to sell well in western countries. However, the game made its appearance in western countries as part of ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', and recently, this game was released for the Virtual Console on the Wii.

| |''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' is the eighth installment in the ''Super Mario'' series. It starts out when Bowser Jr. kidnaps Peach during a strange accident. Luigi is playable in this game, too. Luigi was not playable since ''Super Mario World''. This is the first game since ''Super Mario World'' (1990) that features the classic 2D play-style of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' games. The game features a solo story mode with Mario or Luigi, a two-player wireless game Mario vs. Luigi, as well as a mini-game mode for up to four players. It was released in 2006 for the [[Nintendo DS]]. It spiraled a sequel, ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', though that game is not considered to be a direct sequel to the DS game.

The game seems to borrow some elements from ''Super Mario World'' such as [[Baby Yoshi]]s, [[Sumo Bro]]s., [[Bony Beetle]]s, etc. and minor references like diagonal pipes making a return. The game plays very similar to ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' with its four-player mode, however a player with a Wii U GamePad can create platforms in what Nintendo refers to as "Boost Mode". It is the first ''Super Mario'' game (and ''Mario'' game overall) to be released in high-definition. The game also introduces a new form, [[Flying Squirrel Mario]].

| |In 2003, the fourth entry in the Super Mario Advance series, ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3'', was released for the Game Boy Advance. It boasted similar graphics and sound to the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version, and made use of the e-Reader. A few e-cards came included with new copies of the game, while two sets (referred to as "series") of cards, were released and sold alongside the game. By scanning special cards into the e-Reader, players were able to upload items, videos, and most importantly, new levels into the game. One notable item was the [[Cape Feather]] from Super Mario World, which allowed Mario to transform into Cape Mario. There were also two Switch cards that the player could activate (and deactivate) the effects of by scanning them; the Orange Switch and the Blue Green Switch. Scanning these switches triggered small functions in the game. The e-Reader feature is still available in the European version, but it is disabled by default and unable to access.
