| '''''Super Mario Bros.''''' (known as "'''''Super Mario'''''" in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'') is the semi-sequel to ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', a game which was released for the [[Famicom]] on September 13, 1985, and on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in North America on October 18, 1985. After the previous games were set on [[Earth]], ''Super Mario Bros.'' is the first game to be set in the [[Mushroom World]], marking the first appearances of [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]], as well as [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Goomba]]s and many other [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] enemies.
| |
| | |
| ''Super Mario Bros.'' is the best-selling video-game to date, with 40.23 million copies sold worldwide.
| |
| | |
| | |
| == Story ==
| |
| | |
| One day [[King Bowser Koopa]], the great and powerful leader of the militaristic [[Koopa Troop]], invades the peaceful [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. He and his koopa troop were jealous of the beautiful kingdom, and King Bowser decided to take it for himself. To do this, Bowser casts an evil spell upon the kingdom and transforms all of its [[Toad (species)|inhabitants]] into [[block]]s, weeds, and other odd objects. It is foretold that only the [[King Toadstool|Mushroom King's]] daughter [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] can undo the spell, so Bowser kidnaps her. Fortunately, the heroic Mario Bros. get wind of the Mushroom Kingdom's plight and race to its rescue.
| |
| | |
| The player takes the role of [[Mario]], or in the case of a second player, Mario's brother [[Luigi]]. The ultimate object is to race through the worlds of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], evade or eliminate [[Bowser|Bowser's]] forces, and save the Princess.
| |
| | |
| == Gameplay ==
| |
| ''Super Mario Bros.'' is divided into eight worlds, which each have four levels. Mario has to get to the end of the level by jumping over various gaps and avoiding the enemies on his way. Mario can use several platforms, which sometimes fall down when Mario hits them, and stairs in the level, as well as [[Trampoline|Jumping Boards]].
| |
| | |
| Enemies include [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Hammer Bros.]], and jumping [[Cheep-Cheep]]. All these enemies can be defeated when Mario jumps on them. Koopa Troopas and Buzzy Beetles will leave their shell on the ground, which Mario can kick to hit other enemies with. Koopa Paratroopas lose their wings and fall to the ground when Mario jumps on them. Other enemies include [[Piranha Plant]]s, the [[Spiny]]-throwing [[Lakitu]]s and the [[Hammer Bro.|Hammer Bros.]] These enemies are hard to defeat, and Mario has to avoid them. There are a few levels which are underwater. Underwater, Mario can swim freely from the top to the bottom of the screen. The enemies in underwater levels are [[Blooper|Bloobers]] and Cheep-Cheep, and Mario has no way to defeat them.
| |
| | |
| If Mario takes a hit, falls down a pit, or if the [[time limit]] runs out, he loses a life, and starts again. The point where Mario continues depends on how far he ran through the level before dying; either from the very beginning, or at one of several invisible "checkpoints" throughout the level.
| |
| | |
| [[image:Smblevel.jpg|thumb|left|[[Super Mario]] in World 1-1.]]
| |
| Mario can get special power-ups out of [[? Block]]s or, uncommonly, [[Brick Block]]s. Most of the ? Blocks in which Mario can find these items are visible, but some are hidden and only become visible when Mario hits them from beneath. With the [[Super Mushroom]], he turns into [[Super Mario]]. As Super Mario, he can survive the hit of an enemy one time, at the cost of turning back to [[Small Mario]]. Additionally, he can now get the [[Fire Flower]]. With the Fire Flower, Super Mario turns into [[Fire Mario]], which allows him to shoot [[fireball]]s at enemies to defeat them from a distance. With the [[1-Up Mushroom]], he gets an additional life, he can also get an extra life if he collects 100 [[coins]]. With the [[Star]]man, which can only be found in Brick Blocks, Mario turns invincible for a short amount of time, and can defeat enemies by simply touching them.
| |
| | |
| At the end of each level, there is a castle with a [[flagpole]] nearby. When Mario his the flagpole, he takes down Bowser's flag and enters the castle, completing the level. The higher the spot is where Mario hits the flagpole, the more points he gets. If there are two players playing the game, Luigi's turn comes whenever Mario completes a level or dies. Luigi has no special abilities in the game that are different from Mario's.
| |
| | |
| The fourth level of each world plays inside a castle. They are usually filled with [[Firebar]]s, and [[Podoboo]]s may appear. At the end of a castle level, Mario is confronted with a [[False Bowser]] in Worlds 1 - 7 and the real Bowser in World 8. Mario ordinarily has no way to hurt Bowser, and has to either use the [[Ax]] to destroy the ground, causing the false Bowser or Bowser to fall into the [[lava]], or pelt Bowser with a number of fireballs, which produces the same result and reveals the true forms of the fakes. After defeating a false Bowser, Mario frees several [[Toad (species)|Toads]] from the castle. There is one Toad in World 1, two Toads in World 2, and so on. In World 8, Mario frees Princess Toadstool. If Mario frees Toads, they will say their signature sentence "Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle...".
| |
| | |
| == Modes ==
| |
| After beating the game, the player is given the option to start the game again in "Hard Mode", where all Goombas are replaced by Buzzy Beetles, and all enemies walk faster. In addition, some of the elevator-style lifts are about 60% their original size.
