He said it wasn't his intention to make us sad. I understood that completely, and everyone else did too. But in the end, we were all sad anyway. I cried in Bambi's fur upon seeing him leave. Later I heard Bolt and Konoha getting into a fight about Moondancer, with Bolt claiming that Moondancer abandoned us. Konoha defended Moondancer's decision, and despite Lucretia and Vapor working together, Bolt and Konoha just wouldn't stop fighting. Alseides suddenly grew quiet and aloof, just like Moondancer. Yuki cried for a bit, then acted like nothing happened. Later on, I heard the sound of Mother crying in Father's fur. She said something about wishing that her little Moondancer was still the rambunctious little Eevee he was before, but Father reminded her that all kids grow up someday, and when they've decided what they want to be or do, parents have to let them go, even if it means losing them. I wonder if I'll break down crying if my kids-if I have any-decide to leave and pursue their dreams?
'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' (Japanese スーパーマリオブラザーズ, ''Sūpā Mario Burazāzu'', '''''Super Mario Brothers''''') is a platform video game released for the [[Famicom]] on September 13, [[List of Mario games by date#1985|1985]] and bundled with the [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in North America by November 17 of that year. It is considered a pseudo-sequel to the arcade game [[Mario Bros. (game)|''Mario Bros.'']] This is the first game to be set in the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], marking the first appearances of the [[Bowser|Koopa King]], [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]], and [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], as well as [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, and many other [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]] enemies, allies, items and power-ups. The game was also one of the eighteen Nintendo Entertainment System initial launch games. ''Super Mario Bros.'' was the best selling video game of all time, having sold more than 40.23 million copies worldwide as of 2003, until recently, when it was surpassed by [[wikipedia:Wii Sports|''Wii Sports'']] with 79.18 million. It is also the best-selling game of the Wii's Virtual Console. The game was largely responsible for the initial success of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the revival of the gaming industry after the [[wikipedia:North American video game crash of 1983|1983 video game crash]].


Strangely enough, Moondancer's absence affected Darien, Vicky, and Serena as well. Darien and Vicky kept asking each other about whether they've seen Moondancer or not, and they ran all over both the house and the ranch looking for him. "Moondancer! Moondancer! Where are you?" They kept calling out. But Moondancer had already left by then. Serena didn't seem to care much. She just played with Bambi the entire time. Serena never did care much for Moondancer. Oftentimes, she never even knew he was even around, or even had a name for that matter. Lucretia, Yuki, and I were the only Eevee she ever interacted with. Moondancer never interacted with her either, mostly because he didn't like her. He called her dribbling and addle-brained, and I could tell from the way he said those words were that he meant them to be taken as insults, even though I didn't like the way he treated her.
==Story==
One day, the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] was invaded by the [[Koopa Troop|Koopa]], a tribe of turtles capable of using powerful magic. Their magic was used to transform all the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]] into inanimate objects such as rocks, bricks, and even horsetail plants, thus spelling the kingdom's downfall. Only the daughter of the [[Mushroom King]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], can undo the spell and restore her people back to life, but she is being held captive by [[Bowser|King Koopa]] himself. [[Mario]] hears of the princess's plight, and sets out on a quest to topple the Turtle Tribe and save the once-peaceful kingdom.<ref name=MushStory>[http://legendsoflocalization.com/super-mario-bros/manuals/#game-story Legends of Localization] comparing the Japanese and North American storylines of ''Super Mario Bros.'' (Retrieved April 30, 2014)</ref>


Later on, Darien jumped in his car and drove away just to look for Moondancer while Vicky had to stay and watch Serena as she (Vicky)'s not too fond of babysitters. Even though I was happy that they cared about Moondancer, it still made me confused as to why some humans would care about Moondancer in the first place, as they never really noticed him before. They never treated him bad, that's good, but they didn't seem to pay him much mind either, so I wondered why they cared about him so much. Father told me later that to Darien and Vicky, all the Pokemon that live under their roof are special and deeply loved, even if said Pokemon chooses to be aloof and indifferent to their offers of kindness. I know Serena loved me and Bambi very much, so I'm okay with her caring about me, but she never interacted with my siblings much either save for Lucretia and Yuki. I know for a fact that Moondancer often walked away whenever she approached him, Bolt would hiss or bite if she got close, and Alseides would be so busy playing that he'd never notice, no matter how hard she tried to make her presence known.
==Gameplay==
[[File:SMBLevel.png|thumb|left|[[Super Mario]] in World 1-1.]]
''Super Mario Bros.'' is divided into eight worlds, each of them containing four levels. Mario (or, in the case of a second player, his brother [[Luigi]]) 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 (some of them collapse when Mario lands on them), stairs in the level, as well as [[Trampoline|Jumping Boards]]. There are also pipes along the way, some of which Mario can enter to visit various secret coin rooms before returning to the level, a bit further ahead than when he left.


After about a week of searching and worrying, Darien and Vicky finally stopped, and things were going back to normal. But then again, life without Moondancer didn't seem much different from when he was still around, since he hardly ever interacted with anyone. Something inside me wondered if maybe he really wanted something more out of life than being cooped up in a big ranch, not being allowed to go anywhere until some human came around to adopt him. I've seen humans adopt Pokemon and eggs from the ranch lots of times. A boy named Motoki adopted an egg that, right then and there, hatched into a Sentret. Two girls adopted two Vulpix eggs. I know because I saw a Ninetales lay those very eggs. A girl much older than Serena named Amy came and caught a Mareep, a Lillipup, and an Azurill here in the ranch with the help of her only Pokemon, a Snivy. I wondered if maybe my siblings and I were just as vulnerable to being captured by those machines called Pokeballs as those Pokemon that Amy caught were. Do we belong to Darien and Vicky, or are we considered wild? That always crossed my mind whenever trainers and their Pokemon came around.
Enemies include [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]thers, and leaping [[Cheep Cheep]]s. All these enemies can be defeated when Mario jumps on them. Koopa Troopas and Buzzy Beetles cower in their shell when jumped on, which Mario can kick to defeat other enemies with. Koopa Paratroopas lose their wings and fall to the ground when Mario jumps on them. Other enemies include [[Piranha Plant]]s, and the [[Spiny]]-throwing [[Lakitu]]s, and Mario has to either shoot fireballs at them or just avoid them. There are a few levels which take place underwater. In the water, Mario can swim freely from the top to the bottom of the screen. The enemies in underwater levels are [[Blooper]]s and [[Cheep Cheep]]s. Mario can only defeat these creatures by shooting them with [[fireball]]s.


I would find out much later that it'd prove to be true.
[[File:SMBW2.jpg|thumb|left|Mario swimming in a water level.]]
If [[Small Mario]] takes a hit, falls down a pit, or if the [[Time Limit]] runs out, he loses a life, and restarts the level. The point where Mario continues depends on how far he ran through the level before getting defeated; either from the beginning, or at one of several invisible "checkpoints" throughout the level.


After about a week, Bambi and I played in the field were the purple flowers used to be. They all withered away because it was autumn around that time, but the orange, yellow, red, and brown leaves, both on the trees and the grass, were fun to jump into. We covered ourselves with leaves, we made big piles of them, we hid in them, we popped out of them, and we jumped right out of them as quickly as we'd hide in them. It was fun. But still, playing in a big pile of leaves and throwing them all over the place didn't make me forget about Moondancer or the hole he left in not just my heart but everyone else's. But I knew that wishing he'd come back wouldn't make him come back, so I had to deal with it.
Mario can get special power-ups out of [[Question Block|? 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]]. He may also destroy empty [[Brick Block]]s by jumping beneath them. Additionally, he can also get the [[Fire Flower]]. With the Fire Flower, Super Mario turns into [[Fire Mario]], which allows him to shoot fireballs at enemies to defeat them from a distance. With the [[1-Up Mushroom]], he gains an additional life; he can also get an extra life if he collects a hundred [[coin]]s. 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.


"Aren't these leaves pretty, Sylvie?" Bambi asked as he showed me some piles of very pretty red leaves he found on the ground. A day after Moondancer left, Bambi's fur turned orange, like the sky when the sun would set, and that interested me more than the leaves. I heard somewhere that Deerlings' fur change color depending on the season. When its spring, a Deerling's fur turns pink. That's my favorite color, and Bambi likes it to. When its summer, its green. When its autumn, its orange, and when its winter, its brown. But my curiosity for his change in fur color has since faded away, and the leaves he found were particularly big and shiny-looking. I smiled.
[[File:Bowser333.png|thumb|left|[[Mario]] facing [[Bowser]] at the end of World 8-4.]]
At the end of each level, a castle stands with a [[flagpole]] nearby. When Mario reaches the flagpole, he takes down the enemy flag and enters the castle, completing the level. The higher the spot that Mario hits the flagpole, the more points he receives. If there are two players playing the game, Luigi's turn comes whenever Mario loses a life. Luigi has no special abilities in the game that are different from Mario's.


"Yep! Very pretty! I'll see if I can find some pretty yellow ones," I said as I went to look for some big yellow leaves, or, to be more specific, yellow leaves that didn't have any cracks or chips or rips in them, or weren't completely destroyed and ripped up, as I had been finding a lot of those lately.
The fourth level of each world plays inside a castle. They are usually filled with [[Fire Bar]]s and [[Podoboo]]s. At the end of a castle level, Mario is confronted with a [[Bowser Impostor]] in Worlds 1 through 7 and the actual Bowser in World 8. Mario and Luigi ordinarily have no way to hurt the Bowser Impostors not the actual Bowser, and have to either use the [[axe]] to destroy the bridge, causing either the false or real one to fall into the [[lava]], or pelt him with a number of fireballs, which produces the same result and reveals the true forms of the fakes. After defeating an impostor, Mario frees one of the seven remaining [[Toad (species)|mushroom retainer]]s from the castle, at which point they say their iconic phrase: "Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" At the end of the castle in World 8, Mario frees the grateful Princess Toadstool and completes his adventure, having the choice to continue playing in a "new quest." In this second quest, the player gets to choose a world, and replay some levels. However, all [[Goomba]]s are replaced by [[Buzzy Beetles]], all ground enemies are also considerably faster, some platforms and [[Elevator]]s are shortened in length, and the level design is slightly changed for some levels (see below at "Hard mode").

But when I got close to the house, I stopped as I saw a car pull up by the gate. I hid in a big pile of leaves that Bambi and I hadn't touched yet. The car is shiny and black, and I saw four humans dressed in white coats come out from both sides and walk right up to the door. They're all male and one of them, who has a big bushy head of brown hair the same shade as my fur and a small beard on his chin, knocked on the door. Bambi came by my side once that happened.

"What'cha doin'?" Bambi asked. I shushed him and he clammed up as soon as he saw what I was looking at. Soon, Darien answered the door.
==Hard mode==
After beating the main game, the player is given the option to pick a world to play in "a new quest" - a harder mode where all Goombas are replaced by Buzzy Beetles, and all enemies walk faster; all of the elevator-style lifts are about sixty-percent of their original size, while Fire Bars appear in all possible locations. Additionally, the music is slightly faster. However, the player still has the same amount of time to complete each level. Mario or Luigi may gain no special powers in hard mode, and they receive no extra points when they defeat an enemy. The story remains exactly the same, as each of the first seven castles contain a mushroom retainer that needs rescuing, while the eighth castle has Princess Toadstool. If the player finishes the game on hard mode, they will not unlock anything new from the previous time the game was finished. However, points can be gained faster by jumping on a Buzzy Beetle and then running with the shell as it hits other Buzzy Beetles and Koopa Troopas. Earlier levels in hard mode are the same as their harder clones; for instance, 1-3, which is an easier version of 5-3 in the normal game, is identical to it in hard mode.


"Hm? Hello there. What can I help you with?" Darien asked.

Bambi and I looked at each other with confused faces. A new Eevee evolution? But there's only seven of them! Flareon, Jolteon, Vaporeon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, and Glaceon. How can there be an eighth one? How is it even possible?

Dr. Navarro cleared his throat. "Technically, no. Some higher-up scientists witnessed an Eevee that was imported from Kanto come into contact with an item and it evolved into something that was not seen in this world before. They recorded a video of it, though they have not released much information on this evolutionary form or the name of the item it came into contact with. They're rather private about the matter, and they have not released the video to the public, even though they allowed us to view it. They say they want to keep their research hidden until they studied the Pokemon further. However, we ourselves have discovered an item that looks just like the one in the video and it possesses the same properties and characteristics as the one in the video, and we would like to see if what the scientists recorded is true, and make this new evolutionary form of Eevee known to the world," He explained further.

Darien raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms. I could tell that he looked suspicious of them. "I take it you all don't have an Eevee to test your hypothesis on?"
==Glitches==
{{main|List of glitches in Super Mario Bros.}}


"Unfortunately, no. That's where you come in, Mr. Carter. We heard that you have been breeding Eevees in Unova, and that you have quite a number of them. Eevee are near impossible to find in Unova, as they are not indigenous to this region. We were wondering if maybe, with your permission of course, we could take one off your hands to ease the burden on both you and your ranch," Dr. Navarro asked.
===World <span style="color:#EEEEEE">36</span>-1/{{conjecturaltext|Minus World}}===
[[File:min.png|thumb|left|The '''Minus World''' entrance screen.]]
[[File:SMB W36-1.png|thumb|right|In the '''Minus World''' in the NES version.]]
{{main|Minus World}}
The Minus World is an endless underwater level, identical to World 7-2, which is accessed through a programming glitch. There is no way to successfully complete the level, as entering the pipe at the end will simply return Mario or Luigi to the one at the beginning.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=rgohnDkyTZM&t=43 YouTube video of "Minus World"]</ref> While there is no strategic advantage in performing this glitch, many find it intriguing. The glitch was removed in all remakes of the game, excluding the imports and [[Virtual Console]] remakes. The Japanese [[Famicom Disk System]] version of the game includes a different version of the Minus World. It contains three levels which can be beaten, and once -3 is complete, the player will return to the title screen as if they had beaten the game.


My ears twitched and I tried not to gasp lest they discover me. I heard the words "take something off your hands" more than enough times to figure out that it means they want to take something or someone away from you to keep for themselves. Somehow, I had no idea how, they found out Darien has a lot of Eevee in his house even though there aren't very many in Unova. Then I wondered if Darien would actually consider giving one of us away, separating us forever. Would he take Bolt? Or Alseides? Lucretia? Yuki? Even...me? They can't take Moondancer since he evolved into Umbreon, and from what I hear once an Eevee evolves, it can't evolve any further. It stays the way it evolves into forever. As much as I'd like to evolve, I don't want to be separated from my family. I prayed that Darien wouldn't give me or any of my siblings away. Moondancer being gone made us sad enough already.
[[File:How2Get-1.gif|thumb|left|Mario goes through the wall and enters World -1.]]
To activate the glitch, Mario must go to World 1-2 and stand on top of the pipe that leads to the above-ground flag, without going in the pipe. Then he must break the second and third block from the pipe, but leave the one on the far right. Then he must stand on the left edge of the pipe (facing left) and duck. He then has to jump while in a ducking position and move right in mid-air (while still facing left). If done correctly, Mario will go through the block on the far right and through the wall to the Warp Zone. Mario must then go through the pipe that would normally lead to World 2-1 or World 4-1, and Mario will enter the Minus World (world -1; it's actually world 36-1, but the game displays the number "36" as a single blank space).  


Thankfully, my prayers had been answered.
If World 2-2 or 7-2 is edited in a ROM editor so that it is possible to beat it during the underwater segment, there is a World -2, an underwater version of 3-4. If World 3-4 is edited in a ROM editor, then there is a World -3. It is also a version of 3-4, but with overworld graphics; Beating World -3 takes the player to World -4, a level which is just a blank screen.

"You're asking me for an Eevee? Can't you catch one of your own with a Pokeball? Why haven't you gone to Kanto? There are wild Eevees in abundance over there," Darien asked them suspiciously, his tone of voice turning austere.
==={{conjecturaltext|Over the Flagpole}}===
[[File:SMB W1-1 Glitch2.ogg|thumb|left|170px|Video describing '''Over the Flagpole''' glitch in World 1-1, as well as some other glitches.]]
[[File:SMB W3-3 Glitch1.gif|thumb|'''Over the Flagpole''' glitch in World 3-3.]]
In some levels, it is possible to jump over the flagpole. Beyond the flag pole is nothing but an endless path. There is nothing to do; all that can be done is wait for the timer to get to zero. To do this glitch in [[World 1 (Super Mario Bros.)#World 1-1|World 1-1]], right after the second pit, Mario needs to wait for the Koopa Troopa to about to fall into the pit and simultaneously jump at the top of the level right above the Koopa. After that, the Koopa will be stuck underneath the level, but the player will still be able to see it. When the Koopa starts to walk under the level, Mario should follow it to the end. Along the way, it's required to grab a Super Mushroom. When the Koopa is halfway between the staircase and the [[Flagpole]], the player must do the glitch again and Mario will jump above the flagpole.


"Due to obligations we need to attend to here in the meantime, we are forbidden from going as far as Kanto. Again, we hate to intrude on you like this, but in the event that you wish to rid yourself of an Eevee, we would be more than happy to take one off your hands. It'll prove to be-" Dr. Navarro didn't get to finish his sentence.
To do this glitch in [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.)#World 3-3|World 3-3]], at the end of the level the player must stand of the last lift until another one has completely lifted, before falling off. After that, the player must accelerate as fast as possible and jump from the far edge of the lift. The lift should not lower while doing so.<ref name="Several glitches on YouTube">[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgDqwa_pzmg Several glitches on YouTube]</ref>


"I'm sorry, but I don't breed Eevees to fancy the likes of you money-grubbing dopes! They're mine, and you have no right to just barge in and ask for one, especially for free. Besides, there's lots of wild Eevee in Kanto. Go over there and catch one! It's not that hard! Now off my property or I'll have you arrested for trespassing!" Darien yelled with gusto in his voice. With that, he slammed the door right in front of them. Looking sad, the men all went back into their car and drove away. I exhaled a big sigh of relief, thankful that I or my siblings didn't get taken away.
There is a brick right after the [[Fortress]]' or [[Castle]]'s first door, which stops Mario from going past the Fortress at the end of the levels.


"Yay! You're not gonna be taken away!" Bambi chirped happily, pleased with the fact that neither me or the rest of my family are going to be taken away. I had to admit, I was relieved too. Very relieved.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', this is actually exploited to hide [[Warp Zone]]s.  In worlds 3-1 and A-3, there are warp zones placed beyond the goals.  In other worlds, while it is possible to go over the flagpole, the edge of the world is a few steps past the fortress, and the player is not able go far enough for the flagpole to scroll off the screen.


"I'm so glad," I said. But then what the man said echoed in my head. "A new Eevee evolution...I wonder what it could be. What type is it?"
On a side note, this glitch was fixed in the SNES version of the game.


"Dunno. Maybe it'll be really cool. Oh! Maybe it'll be the perfect evolution for you!" Bambi exclaimed happily, with a big smile on his now rosy red face.
This glitch/trick was featured in the 25th anniversary super play.
{{br}}


"What?! Me?!" I yelped, popping out of the pile of leaves with some still being stuck to my ears, head, and fur. "What brought that up?"
==Development==
''Super Mario Bros.'' was developed at the same time as ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', and both shared numerous staffers: [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], Takashi Tezuke, Toshihiko Nakago, [[Koji Kondo]], Kazuaki Morita, Yasunari Nishida, and [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]].


"Isn't that why you didn't decide what to evolve into yet? Because you thought that since everyone else claimed one you couldn't evolve into any of them?" Bambi asked.
According to the developers, some aspects in ''Super Mario Bros.'' was taken from ''The Legend of Zelda''; Fire Bars were one example, as they were present in the castles in ''The Legend of Zelda''. Miyamoto implemented Fire Bars into ''Super Mario Bros.'' as an obstacle.


"Well...I guess..." Admittedly, I wasn't sure about what I could evolve into. My seven siblings already claimed all seven evolution forms, and I felt like I couldn't decide on any single one, not just because they were all taken, but because I felt like if there were two of the same Pokemon, it'd be hard to find out who's who. Well, then again, since I'm a girl and still had the collar Serena gave me, it'd be pretty easy to tell if me or one of my brothers evolved into the same Pokemon. Not only that, Bambi looks so excited, and normally he's never excited about anything.
The main goal of ''Super Mario Bros.'' was to have a character travel through many lands with all different themes to each other and it would feature a diverse terrain, such as land, water, and sky. They intended for the main character to be twice the size of the final one.


"Think about it! You'll be your own Pokemon! You won't be mistaken for someone else and you won't have to feel like you have to be like your siblings!" Bambi exclaimed.
In the beginning of developing the game, Mario wasn't supposed to be a playable character from the start. Instead, the players would have to control a 16 × 32 pixel square<ref>[http://gonintendo.com/?p=107550 "Super Mario Bros. main character originally started out as...a huge square"]</ref>. The square couldn't even jump and as a result, Tezuka made Mario the playable character instead of the square.


"I guess it'd be nice. But we don't know what it is yet. I don't want to evolve and then find out I don't like it," I told him.
Nakago and his team, Systems Research and Development (SRD), colored the background blue in some levels<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/nsmb/0/3 Iwata Asks: New Super Mario Bros Wii]</ref>. This was unusual, because video games released during this time period usually had a black background, to avoid eye-strain and to avoid getting distracted by the bright colors. After coloring the background blue in some levels, Nakago then started designing maps for this game. First, Miyamoto and Tezuka would draw the levels on paper, and then Nakago and his team would design it into the video game and program it. Miyamoto wanted levels to last about a minute long and he told SRD to do so. He then realized that it usually takes about a second to travel across a screen, and that numerous of screens would have been implemented in one stage. SRD first thought that Miyamoto would request them to make 60 screens per stage, but Miyamoto then explained that obstacles in each screen would slow down the player's progress, which resulted in an average of about 12 screens per level. The stage with the most screens has only 32, which is about half of what SRD had expected.


"Maybe there's a picture or drawing of it somewhere?"
Nakago stated that a lot of documents were sent to them everyday to change some aspects of stages. Adjusting conditions in the stage was a tiresome job that is not present today because of the technology now available. Everyday, the group would do all they could do of what was stated in the documents, and until would work until 10 at night. The next morning, they repeated the process.


"Dunno. He said a video of it was recorded, but we don't know what a video looks like."
==Beta elements==
{{main|List of Super Mario Bros. beta elements}}


"Aren't videos stuff they show on TV?"
The game was far more focused on action than platforming. The game was split between ground and sky segments, which had Mario shooting enemies. Mario could use weapons and the control scheme was different as a result, such as having the up arrow of the {{button|nes|Pad}} used as the jump button.


"Possibly. Maybe that's it. But they said the higher-ups didn't release the video to the public so there won't be many people or Pokemon who know about it."
==Reception and legacy==
[[File:Avenida de Super Mario Bros. en Zaragoza, España.PNG|thumb|The ''Super Mario Bros.'' Avenue in Zaragoza, Spain]]
''Super Mario Bros.'' received critical acclaim and is considered one of the best games of all time. One of the most-praised aspects of the game is the precise controls, which allow players to control how far and high the characters jump and how fast they can run. The game popularized side-scrolling video games, and the game has since received several sequels and spin-offs, and many different ports and alternative versions. All characters, enemies, and items found throughout the game have returned for following ''Mario'' [[games]] and the plot of Bowser kidnapping the princess has returned throughout the series.


Bambi's ears drooped and he looked down. "Oh. You're right."
The game was placed 14th in the 100th issue of [[Nintendo Power]]'s "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997.<ref>http://www.gamekult.com/communaute/forum/voirmessage.html?foid=13000909, retrieved 6/4/2009</ref> It ranked the first spot in Electronic Gaming Monthly's ''"Greatest 200 Games of Their Time"'', named in IGN's top 100 games of all time lists in 2005 and 2007, and declared the second-best Mario game of all time. IGN also placed it 3rd in their Top 100 NES Games list<ref>[http://au.ign.com/top-100-nes-games/3.html]</ref>.


Feeling bad about making him sad, I tapped his leg with my paw. "Don't be sad, Bambi. I'm sure we'll see the new Eevee evolution someday, and when I see it, who knows? Maybe I'll love it, or maybe I'll hate it. But I wanna see it first before I decide on whether to evolve into it or not," I told him. With that, Bambi smiled and we went back to playing until lunchtime.
''Super Mario Bros.'' sold 40.24 million units with its NES release<ref>[http://www.gamecubicle.com/features-mario-units_sold_sales.htm Super Mario Sales Data: Historical Units Sold Numbers for NES, SNES, N64...] GameCubicle. Retrieved January 25, 2015.</ref>, being the best-selling ''Mario'' game and the second best-selling game of all time. In addition, according to one of the tips in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', ''Super Mario Bros.'' has sold over 300 million units worldwide across all platforms it has been released on. It has received several other works such as ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'' and the [[Super Mario Bros. (film)|''Super Mario Bros.'' film]].


Unfortunately, an argument flared up at lunchtime, and it was about what happened today. Vapor brought it up.
The game's impact on popular culture was so big that during 2010, a street in Zaragoza, Aragón (Spain), was named after it.


"A new Eevee evolution. That sounds very interesting! I wouldn't mind seeing it myself," Vapor said as he finished his food.

"I'd love to see what it looks like. I wonder if it looks cute and cuddly. Or would it be strong and cool? Or refined and elegant? Or pretty and beautiful? Ohhh!

"Can you please calm down? Mama and Papa are trying to sleep," Lucretia tried to take charge, but Al suddenly stepped in rather angrily.

"That's why Moondancer left! He's afraid that Darien and Vicky are gonna give him away so he bolted before they could send him to some trainer! He should have considered what leaving us here would do for us! We might get taken away!" Al suddenly shouted.

"He said he wanted to get stronger, but that doesn't mean Darien and Vicky are actually going to give us away! They love us!" Konoha argued.

==Trivia==
[[File:SMBOriginalStory.jpg|thumb|400px|The original story of '''Super Mario Bros.''' (with early character designs) as seen on a Korean flyer. An alternate set of pictures depicting the same events is in ''How to Win at Super Mario Bros.'']]
*The storyline states that Koopas used black magic to aid their conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom (and transform the [[Toad (species)|Mushroom People]]). The only other occurrences of this is by the [[Koopalings]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', [[Magikoopa]]s, and Bowser in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'' (with the aid of the [[Star Rod (Paper Mario)|Star Rod]]), and ''[[Mario Party 8]]''.
*Despite being unmentioned in the Japanese manual,<ref name=MushStory/> the Mushroom King appears in Asian-drawn strategy guide illustrations.
*The ''Guinness Book of World Records 2011: Gamer's Edition'' stated that this game was also remade on the [[Nintendo 64]], which is incorrect.
*In North America, Mario's sprite on the cover is recolored and reused on the [[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]] and [[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]] [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] releases.
*All of the sprites and tiles in the game have at least four color schemes, one for each setting: either brown, beige, and black, or green, yellow, and white for overworld environments, blue, cyan, and black or teal, brown, and pink for underground environments, black, gray, and yellow or gray, yellow, and white for underwater environments, black, gray, and white for castle environments, and red, yellow, and white for all four.
*The clouds and bushes in ''Super Mario Bros.'' are actually the same sprite in different colors, most likely to save space. [[Piranha Plant Slide|Piranha Plant Pipeway]] from ''Mario Kart 7'' makes a reference to this, as the cloud and bushes are the same model in different colors.


"Oh, you're one to talk! You've never left the ranch so don't act like you know everything!" Al shouted angrily.

"Think about it for a second! What if Darien actually DOES decide to give one of us away?! It could me me or you or you or you or even you, Syl!" Al screamed while pointing to Bolt, Vapor, Konoha, and me. But he didn't stop at me. "You're the only one who hasn't decided what to evolve into! They'll take you and evolve you against your will!"

"BOTH OF YOU, STOP!" Finally having had enough of their senseless bickering, I leaped on them both and smacked them on their heads with my paw. Once they looked at me with surprised faces, I decided to take this opportunity to take control despite being the youngest. "Al, I know you're upset about what happened today, but Darien said that he's not going to give us away, and I don't think he'd be the type to just let them come in and take anything they want and just walk away. Nobody's going to take us away! Mom, Dad, Vicky, and Darien won't let them! Bolt, you need to stop making things worse by acting all stuck-up and selfish! Plus, I know what you mean when you say you want to get your message across, and don't think attacking anyone is going to solve anything either!"

"Stop acting like you're the smart one. You're the youngest so know your place!" Al exclaimed.
 
"Alseides! That's no way to talk to Sylvia!" Lucretia snapped.
 
"You know what? Forget it. I'm out," Yuki said as he let out an exasperated sigh and left the room. Finally the fight ended when Mother and Father came into the room and scolded Bolt, Al, Vapor, and Konoha for arguing. After I finished my food, I decided to go out into the ranch.
 
That's where I saw my first Pokemon battle.
 
Once I got to the hedges, I saw two human kids standing about 20 feet away from each other. One was a girl, another was a boy. One girl had blonde hair in a ponytail, deep blue eyes like the night sky, and light skin. She was wearing a purple vest over a blue, long sleeved shirt, a pair of beige jeans, and long brown boots. The boy had messy black hair, purple eyes, and slightly darker skin. He was wearing a black, white, and green hoodie, blue jeans matching the girl's eyes, a red hat on his head, and orange and black sneakers. Both had Pokeballs in their hands.
 
"Are you ready to go, Leonard?" The girl asked, her eyes blazing with courage.
 
"Oh yeah! But I'll let you go first, Jenny!" The boy, Leonard, told her.
 
"Alrighty then! I choose you, Minccino!" Jenny threw her Pokeball and out came a grey chinchilla-like Pokemon, a Minccino.
 
"Cute! But let's see how tough it is! Go, Blitzle!" Leonard threw his Pokeball and out came a black and white Blitzle who whinnied as he appeared.
 
"Minccino! Use Pound!" Jenny exclaimed. Her Minccino charged right at the Blitzle.
 
"Dodge, Blitzle! Then use Quick Attack!" As ordered, Blitzle dodged the Minccino's attack and he then charged right at her. He managed to ram into her and send her flying somewhat.
 
"Minccino! Don't give up! Use sing!" Jenny proclaimed. Promptly, Minccino got back up and proceeded to sing. I could see Blitzle getting dizzy and beginning to fall asleep. Thankfully, I didn't fall asleep even though I heard it. But I did wonder why these trainers were making Pokemon fight.
 
"Why are they fighting?" I asked myself out loud. I had no idea that someone was eavesdropping on me.
 
"They're battling!" A high pitched voice suddenly chirped right next to me. I turned to my right and saw an Emolga right next to me. An Emolga of all Pokemon! They're usually not seen around Floccesy Ranch! I've seen one before, when a trainer came to pick up and egg. She had an Emolga, and if I remember correctly, she said she was from a place called Driftveil City, and lots of Emolga are from there.
 
"Umm...hi?" I said, surprised by her sudden appearance.
 
"Hi! I'm Remi! Wanna watch this with me?" The Emolga, Remi, introduced herself happily and asked if I wanted to watch the battle with her, even though I was already watching.
 
"I thought Emolga didn't live here on the ranch," I said.
 
"I don't live here. I'm from Nimbasa City! But my friends put me and another friend of mine in charge of gathering as much food as possible for the winter, so I'm traveling south of Unova to get lots of berries!" Remi explained.
 
"Do you know why they're fighting?" I asked as I saw Jenny tell her Minccino to use DoubleSlap on a sleeping Blitzle, and Leonard looked extremely surprised that she managed to get the upper hand.
 
"The correct term is battling. Trainers do this with their Pokemon all the time. They battle each other to make their Pokemon stronger," Remi explained.
 
"They do?"
 
"Yeah!"
 
"But isn't fighting bad?"
 
"In this case, battling's a form of communication between them. Fighting doesn't have that. Fighting is when people catch Pokemon without Pokeballs and make them fight each other for money, even to the point of death."
 
"But battling almost looks just like that! How can that and fighting be different?" I asked as I saw Blitzle wake up and try to get the upper hand, but Minccino slapped it with its tail multiple times.
 
"I wish I had the answer to that. That's just what I heard from other Pokemon. Sorry if I confused you. Oh! I gotta run! My friends are gonna get mad if I don't get some berries! See ya!" Remi said, then decided to fly away.
 
It was at this point that Blitzle was completely knocked out. Jenny and Minccino had won the battle. Leonard looked really angry when he made his injured Blitzle return to its Pokeball. They exchanged a few words and Jenny left. Leonard didn't, and I heard why.
 
"She thinks she's so tough. Forget it. I'm stickin' around to catch some Pokemon. I'll teach her to act all conceited and important!" Leonard grumbled angrily to himself.
 
I was about to leave until I saw Bolt suddenly hop out from the hedge. He saw me and was about to say hi until...Leonard spotted him.
 
"Whoa! Is that an Eevee?! Oh my God! I gotta catch it!" Leonard yelped with surprise, then got a Pokeball out.
 
Bolt and I both heard it and we froze with fear. Leonard actually wanted to catch Bolt! I remembered Darien saying that Bolt and the rest of us belonged to him and him alone. Surely this random kid won't be able to catch us! I gestured for Bolt to leave, but he didn't notice. In fact, he seemed to take Leonard's wish to catch him as a challenge.
 
"I'd like to see you try, human kid!" Bolt hissed, though all Leonard heard was "Ee! Eevee! Eevee! Ee!"
 
I hid in the hedge myself, hoping and praying that he wouldn't see me.
 
"Go, Tepig!" Leonard threw a Pokeball and out came a Tepig.
 
"Tepig Tepig!" Tepig oinked as he appeared.
 
"Tepig! Use Flame Charge!" Leonard demanded. Tepig covered itself in flames and charged right at Bolt, who somehow managed to get out of the way. Unfortunately, Tepig tried again, and he managed to hit Bolt.
 
"Great! Now use Tackle!" Bolt fought back by using his own Tackle, but somehow Tepig proved to be stronger and knocked him away. Tepig did it again. And again. Bolt tried to dodge them all and fight back, but Tepig is proving to be too strong.
 
"Bolt!" I cried out, but Leonard thankfully didn't hear me. Bolt tried to get up, but Tepig attacked him with another Tackle attack. Soon enough, Bolt couldn't get up. But he did see me and talk to me.
 
"This is nothing...he can't catch me..." Bolt muttered weakly.
 
I feared the worst. "Bolt! You have to run or he'll catch you! Go! Now!" I pleaded. Bolt barely managed to stand up. But I saw it. Leonard got a Pokeball out.
 
"Pokeball! Go!" He threw it.
 
It flew right toward Bolt.
 
No. I couldn't let my brother get captured. Who knows what could happen. Not caring about whether I got spotted or not, I flew out of the hedge in a desperate attempt to save him.
 
I failed to notice a big root right by my foot, and one of my forelegs got caught on it. I tripped as a result. It also forced me to witness a scene I never thought I'd see.
 
As soon as the Pokeball hit Bolt on the head, he turned into red light and got absorbed into the ball. It fell on the grass and it shook. Leonard took a look at me in surprise for a moment, but then focused back on the ball. I prayed that Bolt would somehow break out of it and return to me.
 
Sadly, my prayers were unanswered.
 
The light on the ball disappeared, and it stopped shaking.
 
Bolt had been captured by the trainer.
 
And I failed to save him.
 
"NOOO!" I cried and howled into my paws while Leonard jumped for joy, completely unaware of the sadness he caused me and was going to cause my family.
 
"Yeah! I just caught a rare Pokemon! Oh yeah! Go me! Aw yeah! Am I awesome or what?!" Leonard howled happily as he jumped up and down like a madman.
 
Then he tried to grab the ball. Once I got my leg out of the root, I did something that I'd normally never do.
 
"BOOOOLT!"
 
I kicked the Pokeball away, and I bit Leonard's wrist.
 
"Ow! Get off me, you mutt!" Leonard shrieked in pain, but I didn't care. I bit him as hard as I could, even though I hated doing it. I needed to believe that I could somehow save him. I needed to save him. Sadly, even my attempt at saving him like this didn't work. With great force, Leonard smacked me and knocked me onto the grass. He grabbed the Pokeball with Bolt in it and, with his Tepig by his side, he ran away.
 
I chased after them.
 
"Give me back my brother! Give Bolt back to me!" I ran as fast and as hard as I could, hoping I could catch up to them and somehow save Bolt. I didn't realize that I completely left the ranch and was traveling in completely open and uncharted territory.
 
Just like Moondancer.
 
But I didn't care. I needed to get Bolt back. Moondancer being gone was sad enough. I didn't want to think that Bolt wouldn't be here either. As much as I never liked his selfish, arrogant, cocky, reckless, and impulsive attitude, he was still my big brother, and I was obligated to at least try to help him. Unfortunately, Leonard commanded his Tepig to use Flame Charge on me, and he was so fast, I didn't have time to dodge. I was hit so hard, I was knocked unconscious. I blacked out.
 
I feared for Bolt's safety. So many unanswered questions flew around in my head like a horde of scared flying type Pokemon. Would Leonard be a good trainer, or would he be bad? Is Leonard nice? Does he treat his Pokemon well? Does he treat them as more than just animals or tools he can use for battle? Is he bad? Does he treat them bad? Does he only train Pokemon to be strong and throw them away when they don't meet his expectations? That's what happened to Father, even though he was lucky and got saved by Darien and Vicky. What will happen to the family once they find out that Bolt's gone? I knew that they'd be super sad because of it. But what will they think of me once I told them everything? Would they say it's my fault, and that I let Bolt get captured? Would they understand that I just wasn't strong enough? Would they be happy with the fact that I at least tried? I couldn't help but wonder despite my being unconscious.
 
After a while, I don't know how long it was, I woke up in a strange building that the people inside said was called a Pokemon Center. I found that my strength had returned and my injuries had been tended to, so I used this chance to escape and try to get back to the ranch. Even though I didn't know where I was, I knew from hearing lots of conversations that Floccesy Ranch is very close to Floccesy Town, and that the latter has a clock tower and isn't very big in size. I ran out of the town, went through some huge patches of tall grass, made sure not to be spotted by any Pokemon. After a while, I noticed the gates, and I found my way back. Mother was the first to greet me.
 
"Sylvia! Oh, thank goodness you're alright! Where in the world did you go? I was so worried about you!" Mother licked my head, which gave me lots of comfort. But it also made me sad, and I cried into her fur. I literally fell apart in her arms. I needed to cry so bad, and she was the perfect outlet.
 
"Mama! Bolt's gone! A trainer caught him! I tried to save him but I couldn't! I tried, I really tried! They were too strong!" I wailed into her fur. I could hear her gasp because of my hypersensitive hearing, but all she did was stroke my fur with her paw and let me cry into her chest. After a few minutes, my chest started to hurt and we went back inside. At dinnertime, I decided to tell everyone about what happened. I didn't want to lie, even though I really wanted to spare them the agony of telling them that now two of our family members are gone and likely never to come back. Despite my trying to hold back my tears as I told them about it, in the end I succumbed to a new fit of crying.
 
"Oh dear..." Father muttered with shock. I didn't dare to see everyone's expressions. I didn't want to. I buried my face in my fur.
 
"Bolt's gone too?!" Lucretia yelped.
 
"A trainer caught him! That means...we don't really belong to Darien after all..." Yuki exclaimed.
 
"What are we going to do?" Konoha asked fearfully.
 
It dawned on all of us right then and there. Al was right all along! If Bolt can be captured by a trainer, than the rest of us except for our parents could get captured too! All of a sudden, a blow struck my stomach and I was suddenly thrown against the wall.
 
"Ow!" I screamed in pain.
 
"Alseides! Why'd you do that?!" Lucretia yelled angrily as she stepped between me and an extremely angry Al.
 
"It's YOUR fault, you brainless dip! You were there! If you hadn't been so slow and stupid Bolt would still be here! You could have saved him but you didn't!" Al screamed angrily.
 
"Alseides! Don't ever talk about your sister like that! She tried to save him as best she could, but the trainer and his Pokemon turned out to be too strong for even her!" Father scolded angrily, surprised by Al's sudden change in behavior. Al paid no heed.
 
"You should have been captured instead of him! You're way stupider than the rest of us and you're always in the way! You let him get captured on purpose! I'll bet you're happy he and Moondancer are gone!" Al yelled.
 
Mother was about to say something until something inside me decided it wasn't going to be ordered around. I hopped back on my feet, marched right over to Al, and looked him right in the eye.
 
"I am NOT happy that they're gone! And for your information, I actually TRIED to save him! I really did! I tried to fight off his Pokemon, and even after he got stuck in the ball I tried to take it away from him! I even bit him in the wrist! But he knocked me out! I chased him out into town before his Tepig used Flame Charge on me! I don't know what's gotten into you, but I am NOT going to tolerate it!" I snapped angrily. Something inside me decided that Al was not going to decide everything by succumbing to his anger and delusions.
 
"Look who's talking! You're way weaker than the rest of us so you should have been captured! Bolt would never have let a trainer catch him! I'll bet you talked him into it to get back at him for pulling all those pranks on you!"
 
"I did not! I tried to make him leave once it got bad, but he wouldn't listen to me! And besides, he got hurt so bad he couldn't even stand up properly!"
 
"Why didn't you save him when you had the chance?!"
 
"I WANTED to, but I couldn't! Stop making it sound like I wanted him to get caught!"
 
"Why do you always think you're right about everything?!"
 
"I don't!"
 
"Stop acting like you're so important! You may think you're so awesome and smart, but you're nothing! Nothing! Nothing! Nothing! You're just a big fat crybaby who'll never amount to anything! You'll be a big fat baby forever, and nobody will ever like you!"
 
"That's enough! Both of you!" Finally having had enough, Vapor got in between us. Normally, in times like this, I'd hide behind Mother or Father. But this time, I didn't back down, even though Vapor stopped our bickering.
 
"Al, you have to understand! It's not her fault Bolt got captured! Pokemon who have been raised by trainers can be remarkably strong. And besides, we're all still very young Eevee, and it's unlikely that Syl or Bolt would have been able to stop them even if they tried. Let's be rational here. Fighting isn't the answer," Vapor told him.
 
"Why do you always gotta stick up for that selfish crybaby?! All she does is get in the way and make things worse for all of us! Maybe she's the reason Moondancer left! Maybe he got sick and tired of her!" Al yelled.
 
"He left to get stronger, nothing else!" I snapped, horrified by his allegation.
 
"Stop all the blaming, please! It doesn't solve anything! Aren't you at least happy that she tried to save him?" Lucretia asked.
 
"I agree. Pokemon trainers can be very strong. It's unlikely that Bolt even stood a chance," Konoha told him calmly but sternly.
 
This time, Father decided to take charge. "Alseides. I won't tolerate this behavior you're displaying. I understand you're upset about Bolt. Believe me, we all are. However, getting angry and blaming Sylvia for it isn't going to bring him back or make things better. There are things in this world that even we can't handle. We have to either accept our limitations or learn to overcome them in any way we can. Now, I want you to go to Darien's room and think about what you've said and done," He told him sternly.
 
"Why should I stay with a human all day?! One just captured Bolt and now you're defending them?!" Al snapped.
 
I didn't want to hear anymore, even though I wanted to prove to Al that I wasn't weak and that I didn't let Bolt get captured on purpose. I wept and ran into Serena's room. I found Bambi there and I wept into his fur. He didn't say anything. He just stroke my fur and licked my head as I told him everything.
 
"It's okay. You tried. I think Bolt will understand. You're not a bad Eevee," Bambi told me sweetly. His high, cute voice is always full of genuine innocence but acceptance.
 
"If...if the trainer turns out to be a bad person, I'll never forgive myself for not being able to save him!" I cried.
 
Soon, Darien and Vicky realized that Bolt was missing too. They looked for him for about a week, but then they stopped. As usual, Serena didn't care. She hated Bolt. She was probably happy he's gone. Later, everyone tried to adjust to both Moondancer and Bolt being gone. On one autumn day, I was all by myself playing ball with Mary and Mali, two Mareep twin sisters. Mali wound up knocking the ball out across the fence and it rolled away.
 
"I'll get it!" I cried as I hopped over the fence to try and get it.
 
It would be the worst mistake I ever made, and to this day I still regret ever going after it.
 
I looked for it everywhere I went, not realizing that I was leaving the ranch and going onto the trail that led to Floccesy Town. As I looked around, I soon noticed a shadow looming over me. I looked behind me.
 
For just a second, I saw Dr. Navarro and two other people behind me.
 
Right then and there, I felt a blow across my head and I blacked out.
 
It would be the last time I ever saw my family, and the last time anyone ever saw me.
 
Later than that...this would be the last place I would ever be seen as an Eevee in general. My fate had been sealed.

Super Mario Bros. (Japanese スーパーマリオブラザーズ, Sūpā Mario Burazāzu, Super Mario Brothers) is a platform video game released for the Famicom on September 13, 1985 and bundled with the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America by November 17 of that year. It is considered a pseudo-sequel to the arcade game Mario Bros. This is the first game to be set in the Mushroom Kingdom, marking the first appearances of the Koopa King, Mushroom People, and Princess Toadstool, as well as Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and many other Mario series enemies, allies, items and power-ups. The game was also one of the eighteen Nintendo Entertainment System initial launch games. Super Mario Bros. was the best selling video game of all time, having sold more than 40.23 million copies worldwide as of 2003, until recently, when it was surpassed by Wii Sports with 79.18 million. It is also the best-selling game of the Wii's Virtual Console. The game was largely responsible for the initial success of the Nintendo Entertainment System and the revival of the gaming industry after the 1983 video game crash.

Story

One day, the Mushroom Kingdom was invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles capable of using powerful magic. Their magic was used to transform all the Mushroom People into inanimate objects such as rocks, bricks, and even horsetail plants, thus spelling the kingdom's downfall. Only the daughter of the Mushroom King, Princess Toadstool, can undo the spell and restore her people back to life, but she is being held captive by King Koopa himself. Mario hears of the princess's plight, and sets out on a quest to topple the Turtle Tribe and save the once-peaceful kingdom.[1]

Gameplay

Super Mario in World 1-1.

Super Mario Bros. is divided into eight worlds, each of them containing four levels. Mario (or, in the case of a second player, his brother Luigi) 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 (some of them collapse when Mario lands on them), stairs in the level, as well as Jumping Boards. There are also pipes along the way, some of which Mario can enter to visit various secret coin rooms before returning to the level, a bit further ahead than when he left.

Enemies include Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Buzzy Beetles, Koopa Paratroopas, Bullet Bills, Hammer Brothers, and leaping Cheep Cheeps. All these enemies can be defeated when Mario jumps on them. Koopa Troopas and Buzzy Beetles cower in their shell when jumped on, which Mario can kick to defeat other enemies with. Koopa Paratroopas lose their wings and fall to the ground when Mario jumps on them. Other enemies include Piranha Plants, and the Spiny-throwing Lakitus, and Mario has to either shoot fireballs at them or just avoid them. There are a few levels which take place underwater. In the water, Mario can swim freely from the top to the bottom of the screen. The enemies in underwater levels are Bloopers and Cheep Cheeps. Mario can only defeat these creatures by shooting them with fireballs.

If Small Mario takes a hit, falls down a pit, or if the Time Limit runs out, he loses a life, and restarts the level. The point where Mario continues depends on how far he ran through the level before getting defeated; either from the beginning, or at one of several invisible "checkpoints" throughout the level.

Mario can get special power-ups out of ? Blocks or, uncommonly, Brick Blocks. 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. He may also destroy empty Brick Blocks by jumping beneath them. Additionally, he can also get the Fire Flower. With the Fire Flower, Super Mario turns into Fire Mario, which allows him to shoot fireballs at enemies to defeat them from a distance. With the 1-Up Mushroom, he gains an additional life; he can also get an extra life if he collects a hundred coins. With the Starman, 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, a castle stands with a flagpole nearby. When Mario reaches the flagpole, he takes down the enemy flag and enters the castle, completing the level. The higher the spot that Mario hits the flagpole, the more points he receives. If there are two players playing the game, Luigi's turn comes whenever Mario loses a life. 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 Fire Bars and Podoboos. At the end of a castle level, Mario is confronted with a Bowser Impostor in Worlds 1 through 7 and the actual Bowser in World 8. Mario and Luigi ordinarily have no way to hurt the Bowser Impostors not the actual Bowser, and have to either use the axe to destroy the bridge, causing either the false or real one to fall into the lava, or pelt him with a number of fireballs, which produces the same result and reveals the true forms of the fakes. After defeating an impostor, Mario frees one of the seven remaining mushroom retainers from the castle, at which point they say their iconic phrase: "Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" At the end of the castle in World 8, Mario frees the grateful Princess Toadstool and completes his adventure, having the choice to continue playing in a "new quest." In this second quest, the player gets to choose a world, and replay some levels. However, all Goombas are replaced by Buzzy Beetles, all ground enemies are also considerably faster, some platforms and Elevators are shortened in length, and the level design is slightly changed for some levels (see below at "Hard mode").

Hard mode

After beating the main game, the player is given the option to pick a world to play in "a new quest" - a harder mode where all Goombas are replaced by Buzzy Beetles, and all enemies walk faster; all of the elevator-style lifts are about sixty-percent of their original size, while Fire Bars appear in all possible locations. Additionally, the music is slightly faster. However, the player still has the same amount of time to complete each level. Mario or Luigi may gain no special powers in hard mode, and they receive no extra points when they defeat an enemy. The story remains exactly the same, as each of the first seven castles contain a mushroom retainer that needs rescuing, while the eighth castle has Princess Toadstool. If the player finishes the game on hard mode, they will not unlock anything new from the previous time the game was finished. However, points can be gained faster by jumping on a Buzzy Beetle and then running with the shell as it hits other Buzzy Beetles and Koopa Troopas. Earlier levels in hard mode are the same as their harder clones; for instance, 1-3, which is an easier version of 5-3 in the normal game, is identical to it in hard mode.

Glitches

Main article: List of glitches in Super Mario Bros.

World 36-1/Template:Conjecturaltext

File:Min.png

File:SMB W36-1.png
In the Minus World in the NES version.
Main article: Minus World

The Minus World is an endless underwater level, identical to World 7-2, which is accessed through a programming glitch. There is no way to successfully complete the level, as entering the pipe at the end will simply return Mario or Luigi to the one at the beginning.[2] While there is no strategic advantage in performing this glitch, many find it intriguing. The glitch was removed in all remakes of the game, excluding the imports and Virtual Console remakes. The Japanese Famicom Disk System version of the game includes a different version of the Minus World. It contains three levels which can be beaten, and once -3 is complete, the player will return to the title screen as if they had beaten the game.

File:How2Get-1.gif
Mario goes through the wall and enters World -1.

To activate the glitch, Mario must go to World 1-2 and stand on top of the pipe that leads to the above-ground flag, without going in the pipe. Then he must break the second and third block from the pipe, but leave the one on the far right. Then he must stand on the left edge of the pipe (facing left) and duck. He then has to jump while in a ducking position and move right in mid-air (while still facing left). If done correctly, Mario will go through the block on the far right and through the wall to the Warp Zone. Mario must then go through the pipe that would normally lead to World 2-1 or World 4-1, and Mario will enter the Minus World (world -1; it's actually world 36-1, but the game displays the number "36" as a single blank space).

If World 2-2 or 7-2 is edited in a ROM editor so that it is possible to beat it during the underwater segment, there is a World -2, an underwater version of 3-4. If World 3-4 is edited in a ROM editor, then there is a World -3. It is also a version of 3-4, but with overworld graphics; Beating World -3 takes the player to World -4, a level which is just a blank screen.

Video describing Over the Flagpole glitch in World 1-1, as well as some other glitches.
The over the flagpole glitch from Super Mario Bros.
Over the Flagpole glitch in World 3-3.

In some levels, it is possible to jump over the flagpole. Beyond the flag pole is nothing but an endless path. There is nothing to do; all that can be done is wait for the timer to get to zero. To do this glitch in World 1-1, right after the second pit, Mario needs to wait for the Koopa Troopa to about to fall into the pit and simultaneously jump at the top of the level right above the Koopa. After that, the Koopa will be stuck underneath the level, but the player will still be able to see it. When the Koopa starts to walk under the level, Mario should follow it to the end. Along the way, it's required to grab a Super Mushroom. When the Koopa is halfway between the staircase and the Flagpole, the player must do the glitch again and Mario will jump above the flagpole.

To do this glitch in World 3-3, at the end of the level the player must stand of the last lift until another one has completely lifted, before falling off. After that, the player must accelerate as fast as possible and jump from the far edge of the lift. The lift should not lower while doing so.[3]

There is a brick right after the Fortress' or Castle's first door, which stops Mario from going past the Fortress at the end of the levels.

In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, this is actually exploited to hide Warp Zones. In worlds 3-1 and A-3, there are warp zones placed beyond the goals. In other worlds, while it is possible to go over the flagpole, the edge of the world is a few steps past the fortress, and the player is not able go far enough for the flagpole to scroll off the screen.

On a side note, this glitch was fixed in the SNES version of the game.

This glitch/trick was featured in the 25th anniversary super play.

Development

Super Mario Bros. was developed at the same time as The Legend of Zelda, and both shared numerous staffers: Shigeru Miyamoto, Takashi Tezuke, Toshihiko Nakago, Koji Kondo, Kazuaki Morita, Yasunari Nishida, and Hiroshi Yamauchi.

According to the developers, some aspects in Super Mario Bros. was taken from The Legend of Zelda; Fire Bars were one example, as they were present in the castles in The Legend of Zelda. Miyamoto implemented Fire Bars into Super Mario Bros. as an obstacle.

The main goal of Super Mario Bros. was to have a character travel through many lands with all different themes to each other and it would feature a diverse terrain, such as land, water, and sky. They intended for the main character to be twice the size of the final one.

In the beginning of developing the game, Mario wasn't supposed to be a playable character from the start. Instead, the players would have to control a 16 × 32 pixel square[4]. The square couldn't even jump and as a result, Tezuka made Mario the playable character instead of the square.

Nakago and his team, Systems Research and Development (SRD), colored the background blue in some levels[5]. This was unusual, because video games released during this time period usually had a black background, to avoid eye-strain and to avoid getting distracted by the bright colors. After coloring the background blue in some levels, Nakago then started designing maps for this game. First, Miyamoto and Tezuka would draw the levels on paper, and then Nakago and his team would design it into the video game and program it. Miyamoto wanted levels to last about a minute long and he told SRD to do so. He then realized that it usually takes about a second to travel across a screen, and that numerous of screens would have been implemented in one stage. SRD first thought that Miyamoto would request them to make 60 screens per stage, but Miyamoto then explained that obstacles in each screen would slow down the player's progress, which resulted in an average of about 12 screens per level. The stage with the most screens has only 32, which is about half of what SRD had expected.

Nakago stated that a lot of documents were sent to them everyday to change some aspects of stages. Adjusting conditions in the stage was a tiresome job that is not present today because of the technology now available. Everyday, the group would do all they could do of what was stated in the documents, and until would work until 10 at night. The next morning, they repeated the process.

Beta elements

Main article: List of Super Mario Bros. beta elements

The game was far more focused on action than platforming. The game was split between ground and sky segments, which had Mario shooting enemies. Mario could use weapons and the control scheme was different as a result, such as having the up arrow of the +Control Pad used as the jump button.

Reception and legacy

File:Avenida de Super Mario Bros. en Zaragoza, España.PNG

Super Mario Bros. received critical acclaim and is considered one of the best games of all time. One of the most-praised aspects of the game is the precise controls, which allow players to control how far and high the characters jump and how fast they can run. The game popularized side-scrolling video games, and the game has since received several sequels and spin-offs, and many different ports and alternative versions. All characters, enemies, and items found throughout the game have returned for following Mario games and the plot of Bowser kidnapping the princess has returned throughout the series.

The game was placed 14th in the 100th issue of Nintendo Power's "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997.[6] It ranked the first spot in Electronic Gaming Monthly's "Greatest 200 Games of Their Time", named in IGN's top 100 games of all time lists in 2005 and 2007, and declared the second-best Mario game of all time. IGN also placed it 3rd in their Top 100 NES Games list[7].

Super Mario Bros. sold 40.24 million units with its NES release[8], being the best-selling Mario game and the second best-selling game of all time. In addition, according to one of the tips in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Super Mario Bros. has sold over 300 million units worldwide across all platforms it has been released on. It has received several other works such as The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and the Super Mario Bros. film.

The game's impact on popular culture was so big that during 2010, a street in Zaragoza, Aragón (Spain), was named after it.

Quotes

  • "Developing this game was fun because it felt like we were solving a puzzle as we were making it." — Takashi Tezuka, Super Mario History 1985-2010 Booklet
  • "There was so much enthusiasm on this project because we were trying to create something that had never been done before." — Koji Kondo, Super Mario History 1985-2010 Booklet
  • "Thank you Mario! But our princess is in another castle!" — Mushroom Retainer, Super Mario Bros.
  • "Thank you Mario! Your quest is over. We present you a new quest." — Princess Toadstool, Super Mario Bros.

Trivia

Back of the Korean edition of a Super Mario Bros. themed board game. Original Japanese version was produced by Bandai.
The original story of Super Mario Bros. (with early character designs) as seen on a Korean flyer. An alternate set of pictures depicting the same events is in How to Win at Super Mario Bros.
  • The storyline states that Koopas used black magic to aid their conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom (and transform the Mushroom People). The only other occurrences of this is by the Koopalings in Super Mario Bros. 3, Magikoopas, and Bowser in Yoshi's Story, Paper Mario (with the aid of the Star Rod), and Mario Party 8.
  • Despite being unmentioned in the Japanese manual,[1] the Mushroom King appears in Asian-drawn strategy guide illustrations.
  • The Guinness Book of World Records 2011: Gamer's Edition stated that this game was also remade on the Nintendo 64, which is incorrect.
  • In North America, Mario's sprite on the cover is recolored and reused on the Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. NES releases.
  • All of the sprites and tiles in the game have at least four color schemes, one for each setting: either brown, beige, and black, or green, yellow, and white for overworld environments, blue, cyan, and black or teal, brown, and pink for underground environments, black, gray, and yellow or gray, yellow, and white for underwater environments, black, gray, and white for castle environments, and red, yellow, and white for all four.
  • The clouds and bushes in Super Mario Bros. are actually the same sprite in different colors, most likely to save space. Piranha Plant Pipeway from Mario Kart 7 makes a reference to this, as the cloud and bushes are the same model in different colors.
