| '''''Mario Bros.''''' is an arcade [[List of games|game]] developed by [[Nintendo]] and released on June 21, [[List of games by date#1983|1983]].<ref name=GM>[https://archive.org/details/game-machine-magazine-19830715p/page/n19/mode/1up Game Machine #216, July 15, 1983 issue, page 38]</ref> It was also released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] under the [[Arcade Classics Series]] series of games (a version itself later ported to other systems), Atari 2600, Atari 5200, and Atari 7800 as well as a large multitude of home computer systems. The game is often stated to be the first appearance of [[Luigi]] in a game; moreover, Nintendo officially acknowledged this as well during [[the Year of Luigi]] that commemorated his debut. However, this is incorrect as Luigi actually had previously appeared in the [[Game & Watch]] [[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|game of the same name]], though the arcade game was in development first.{{ref needed}} Beyond featuring the Mario brothers, the Game & Watch game bears no similarity to the arcade game. This was the first game to introduce a simultaneous two-player mode, [[coin]]s, [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, and [[POW Block]]s.
| |
|
| |
|
| ''Mario Bros.'' is also included as a separate [[minigame]], functioning like the original game with updated graphics, in the two-player mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', for ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and all four games in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series.
| |
| ==Story==
| |
| The premise of this game revolves around twin plumbers, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]], who are in the sewer system of [[New York City|New York]]<ref>Porges, Seth (October 19, 2009). [https://web.archive.org/web/20091022053804/https://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/industry/4334387.html Exclusive Interview With Nintendo Gaming Mastermind Shigeru Miyamoto]. [http://www.popularmechanics.com/ Popular Mechanics]. Retrieved November 25, 2009.</ref><ref>Snider, Mike (November 08, 2010). [http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gamehunters/post/2010/11/qa-mario-creator-shigeru-miyamoto/1 Q&A: 'Mario' creator Shigeru Miyamoto]. ''USA Today''. Retrieved March 25, 2016.</ref> ([[Mario Bros.' House|their house]] according to Atari<ref>"''Mario the carpenter and his brother Luigi{{hover| |* [2600/5200]}} are hopping mad! The water pipes in their house are blocked with{{hover| |nests of [2600] / pesky [7800/8-bit]}}crawling creatures. If the two brothers can't get rid of them{{hover| |, [5200/7800/8-bit]}}they'll never take a bath again!''" - ''Mario Bros.'' Atari game manual, first page.</ref>). The sewers are overrun by waves of [[List of enemies|enemies]], which must be defeated for [[coin]]s.
| |
|
| |
| ==Gameplay==
| |
| [[File:MarioBrosAC.png|frame|left|Mario and Luigi in Phase 1 of the arcade version.]]
| |
| The game features a simple stage in which the player plays in an endless game. Much of the gameplay appears to have been inspired by an arcade game named ''[[wikipedia:Joust (video game)|Joust]]''. Enemies come from the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s on the top and head downwards, where they may enter the pipes again to return to the top. The game features 22 unique phases (although Phase 2 was removed from non-Japanese versions of the game), and after the last phase has been completed, it merely loops the phase order from then on; the screen will still read "Phase 23" onward up to "Phase 98" (99 in Japan). After reaching Phase 98/99, screen text will stop incrementing, though the order of unique phases still loops. The phase counter at the bottom of the screen reads "KO" from Phase 25 onward.
| |
|
| |
| The goal in each phase is to defeat all enemies, which is done by jumping up and hitting the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]] below enemies. This flips them, giving the player the chance to kick them away, which is rewarded with 800 [[point]]s. Enemies that are kicked over in succession quickly enough after the first will award 800 more points, up to 3200 points. The highest score that the game can display is 999,990 points, and scoring any more will overflow the display and make it start counting from 0 again. The [[POW Block]] can also be used to flip enemies; however, it can be used only three times. After an enemy is knocked away, a [[coin]] (a "[[wafer]]" in the Atari 2600 version of the game) appears from one of the pipes, and gives 800 points when collected. When all enemies are defeated, the player continues to the next phase. In later levels, different types of enemies and harming fireballs appear. In Phases 4, 9, and every seventh phase after that (Phase 3 and every fifth phase after that in the NES version), a bonus level appears where all the coins have to be collected in order to get an extra 5,000 points (during the first bonus level) or 8,000 points (during the second bonus level onwards). The time limit of the bonus level at first is 20 seconds, but starting from the second bonus level (third in the NES version), it is reduced to 15 seconds. Excluding the first bonus level, all bonus levels have floors of ice. The POW Block regenerates after the second bonus level and every subsequent bonus level. Unlike the arcade original, upon reaching Phase 100 in the NES version, the screen reads "Phase 0", and completing it will start incrementing the phase counter again as normal.

| ===Enemies===
| |
| Target enemies must be defeated to clear the phase while other enemies should be defeated by the player's discretion. Each phase consists of one or two types of targets with a maximum of six targets. [[Shellcreeper]]s and [[Sidestepper]]s appear together only in Phase 5 (6 in Japan). The last target enemy will always move at its fastest pace unless said enemy is a Fighter Fly.

|
| |
| ==Reception==
| |
| The arcade game was given a preview at the Amusement Operators Expo held at the O'Hare Exposition Center in Chicago from March 25-27, 1983. The reviews were mixed. Steve Arrants of ''Creative Computing Video & Arcade Games'' considered it his favorite among the ten games showcased<ref>[https://www.atarimagazines.com/cva/v1n2/toptengamesofaoe.php Atari Magazines]</ref> while William Michael Brown of ''Electronic Fun with Computer Games'' thought it was a dud with difficulty being the main issue.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/Electronic_Fun_with_Computer_Games_Vol_01_No_09_1983-07_Fun_Games_Publishing_US/page/n27/mode/2up Electronic Fun with Computer Games, July 1983 issue]</ref> John Holmstrom of ''Video Games'' criticized the slippery controls.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/Video_Games_Volume_1_Number_10_1983-07_Pumpkin_Press_US/page/n55/mode/2up Video Games, July 1983 issue]</ref> However, the version they reviewed was a prototype.<ref name=GM/> Michael Brown noted that the released game was much easier than the version he played at the expo.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/Electronic_Fun_with_Computer_Games_Vol_02_No_01_1983-11_Fun_Games_Publishing_US/page/n13/mode/1up? Electronic Fun with Computer Games, November 1983 issue]</ref> The promo photo that Nintendo handed out showed a standing red Shellcreeper as the stand-in for the "P" in the phase counter. It also shows Shellcreepers and Sidesteppers together in Phase 4 which is not the case in either the Japanese or international arcade releases.

| IGN rated the 1983 NES port 91st in their Top 100 NES Games list.<ref>[http://au.ign.com/top-100-nes-games/91.html]</ref>

| ==Re-releases, ports, and remakes==
| |
| ===Re-releases===
| |
| The international version (first bonus level is phase 3) is part of the compilation ''[[Donkey Kong/Donkey Kong Jr./Mario Bros.]]'' arcade system published by [[Namco]] and released in 2004 in North America.
| |
|
| |
| An emulation of the original Japanese arcade version (first bonus level is phase 4) was released worldwide for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on September 27, 2017 as part of {{wp|Hamster Corporation}}'s ''[[Arcade Archives]]'' series, under the name '''''Arcade Archives: Mario Bros.''''' The [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]] can be used to play in two-player mode.<ref>GameXplain. (September 13, 2017).

| |
| ===Ports===
| |
| ''Mario Bros.'' received three ports for the [[Family Computer|Famicom]]/[[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]]/[[Family Computer Disk System|FDS]] consoles:
| |
| [[File:MB NES 2P.png|thumb|1983 NES port]]
| |
| *The first port was released in Japan in 1983 for the Famicom and abroad as part of the NES' [[Arcade Classics Series]] in 1986. It follows the international arcade phases up to Phase 11. This version introduced two difficulty settings: game A (beginner) and game B (expert). Due to hardware limitations, cutscenes have been removed, enemies have much simpler animations, fireballs are made smaller, and [[icicle]]s do not appear. The bonus rounds appear on different stages and none of them have invisible floors. Mario and Luigi's clothes are colored differently. This port has been re-released many times (see [[#Ports of 1983 NES version|below]]).
| |
| *The second port was released in 1988 for the [[Family Computer Disk System]], a Japan-exclusive accessory to the Famicom, under the title ''[[Kaettekita Mario Bros.]]''. It is based on the previously released Famicom/NES version, but adds several elements to make the game more arcade-accurate such as icicles. It follows the Japanese arcade phases. In addition, a new mode titled "Nagatanien World" has been added, and the player can now change direction in mid-air.
| |
| *The third port is the European-exclusive "Classic Series" version released in 1993. It was based on the aforementioned ''Kaettekita Mario Bros.'', and retained all the arcade features from it, while removing everything else except for the mid-air change in direction. This version was perhaps the closest port of the arcade game, and was one of only two ports to have the original arcade intermissions (the other being the 1988 {{wp|Atari 8-bit family|Atari 8-bit}} version). Of note is that while the enemies use their sprites and colors from ''Kaettekita Mario Bros.'', Mario & Luigi use theirs from the first NES port. It also restores the game A and B difficulty modes that were missing in the 1988 version. Along with the above version, they are the only two ports to use the Japanese arcade phase system.

| After the partition of Atari, Inc., {{wp|Ocean Software}} published home computer ports for the European market on the {{wp|Amstrad CPC}}, {{wp|ZX Spectrum}}, and Commodore 64 in 1987. The latter is unrelated to the unreleased port by Atarisoft and is noted for strange visuals and music.

|
| |
| In 1988, {{wp|Atari Corporation}} published ports for the {{wp|Atari 7800}} and Atari 8-bit computers. The latter is completely unrelated to the unreleased port and is noted to be very arcade-accurate.

| Several direct ports of the 1983 NES version, running under emulation, have been released on later consoles. The first was on the [[Nintendo PlayChoice-10]], an arcade machine that played NES titles.
| |
|
| |
| For the [[Game Boy Advance]], ''Mario Bros.-e'' is a US exclusive released as part of Series Two for the [[e-Reader]] on November 11, 2002, which omitted the two-player support. Japan next got an exclusive release in the [[Classic NES Series|Famicom Mini]] series, unconnected with the remade version described [[#Game Boy Advance remake|below]], on May 21, 2004.
| |
|
| |
| ''Mario Bros.'' is included in ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (GCN)|Animal Crossing]]'' on the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. Excluding hacks, the only way to access the game is through an e-Reader card released only in North America on May 12, 2003.<ref>[[nookipedia:E-Reader card/Series 4 (Animal Crossing)|''Animal Crossing'' series 4 cards]]. ''Nookipedia''. Retrieved November 7, 2021.</ref> The e-Reader and Game Boy Advance must be connected to the GameCube during the scan.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JoW-NWzCCRo Animal Crossing - Unlock Mario Bros. and Ice Climber without cheats].

| It was also re-released on [[Virtual Console]] for Wii for 500 [[Virtual Console#Wii Points|Wii Points]] in November/December 2006, and for 3DS on May 8, 2013 (Japan), January 9, 2014 (Europe and Australia), and January 30, 2014 (North America, US$4.99). It has also been released on the [[Wii U]] for the same price.
| |
|
| |
| The NES and Famicom version is also one of the 30 titles included in the [[Classics#NES Classic Edition|NES Classic Edition]] and [[Classics#Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer|Nintendo Classic Mini: Family Computer]], respectively.
| |
|
| |
| ''Mario Bros.'' was made available as one of the 20 NES titles at the [[Nintendo Switch#Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online]] subscription service's launch in September 2018, and features online play.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/switch/online-service/nes/ Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online].

| ===Minigame remakes===
| |
| ====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
| |
| [[File:SMB3BattleMode.png|thumb|left|The battle mode in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
| |
| A form of ''Mario Bros.'' is included as a separate battle mode [[minigame]], called '''Classic Mario Bros.'''<ref>''Super Mario All-Stars'' English instruction booklet, page 36. "''If Mario and Luigi are in the same place on the 2 player mode map, or if either of the players choose battle mode, you can play the CLASSIC MARIO BROS. game.''"</ref> or simply '''Mario Bros.'''<ref>''Super Mario Bros. 3'' English instruction booklet, page 28. "''HOW TO PLAY THE 'MARIO BROS.' GAME''"</ref>, in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' for the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] and as part of the game's remake included in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', utilizing ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s physics and a variation of its graphics. This was the first version where Spinies replaced Shellcreepers, making it more obvious not to jump on the enemy, which would become standard in later remakes to avoid confusion with the ubiquitous [[Koopa Troopa]]s of later games.
| |
|
| |
| It includes two new bonus levels - a fountain that sprays out coins, and a series of kickable [[? Block]]s. Unlike all other versions, players will automatically get a coin for defeating an enemy instead of having to scramble for it from the top pipes.
| |
|
| |
| A battle can be entered in two-player mode in the main game, by the active player on the map opening the Ⓜ or Ⓛ that represents the inactive player. This allows the players to fight over the [[card]]s, obtained by finishing a normal level, that give one to five extra lives when three are collected. The player that wins gets to continue the main game.
| |
| {{br|left}}
| |
|
| |
| ====''Super Mario All-Stars''====
| |
| [[File:SMAS Battle Game.png|thumb|The Battle Game in ''Super Mario All-Stars''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', a competitive Battle Game was added with different gameplay, selectable on the title screen for ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. This version removed all bonus stages and introduced a single green [[Koopa Troopa]] to each stage whose shell can hurt the bros. but not enemies. This is the only version where the sprites for the Fireballs are replaced with [[Boo]]s. The sprites for the Koopa Troopa and the Boos are different than those used in the main game. This is also the only version where enemies change color if the brothers flip them back up except for the Koopa Troopa but it will still speed up. The POW block can also randomly regenerate. Both brothers start off in [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] and [[Super Mushroom]]s will sometimes come out of the top pipes or are hidden in the platform blocks. This minigame also features the [[? Kinoko]] which can swap the players position if they are the same form or switch their forms if they are different.
| |
|
| |
| This version serves as the inspiration for the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake below.
| |
|
| |
| ====Game Boy Advance remake====
| |
| [[File:SMA MB Battle 4P.png|thumb|left|4 Player Battle in ''Super Mario Advance'']]
| |
| A remake of ''Mario Bros.'' is included in every ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' game, as well as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' (though it does not reappear in the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]]). All of these games can connect to each other to play Classic or Battle mode with up to four players. Classic is based on the co-op mode from the original and uses the Japanese arcade phase system. Battle is based on the Battle Game from ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''. The remake also uses the GBA's Single-Pak multiplayer feature. It can connect and play with other GBA systems without the game, although Battle is the only multiplayer mode that can be played in this way.
| |
|
| |
| The GBA remake of ''Mario Bros.'' enhances the graphics to take advantage of the GBA's 32-bit capabilities, including adding backgrounds to the stages. Music is added where it was originally absent, and voice clips are added in single-player mode. Jumping onto floors has been made easier; mid-air turning is allowed, as opposed to the original where Mario or Luigi had to stay in one direction during jumping. The [[Charge jump|Power Squat Jump]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' has been added, and the Bonus Stages are now noticeably easier than they were originally. There are also two POW Blocks per phase set, and they can be picked up much like in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Players can also pick each other up and throw them.

| |
| '''''Luigi Bros.''''', a remake of the 1983 [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] port of ''Mario Bros.'', is included in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'' as unlockable content. The only difference is that Mario is replaced by Luigi with his modern color scheme (a green hat and shirt with blue overalls); player 2's Luigi retains his original appearance (a white hat and shirt with green overalls, similar to [[Fire Mario|Fire Luigi]]'s color scheme in later ''Mario'' games). Unlike ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' itself, which uses a 16:9 aspect ratio, ''Luigi Bros.'' uses a 4:3 aspect ratio like the NES port on which it is based.
| |
|
| |
| ''Luigi Bros.'' is unlocked by defeating [[Meowser]] in [[The Great Tower of Bowser Land]], which completes the main story of ''Super Mario 3D World''. In the original Wii U version, if the player has save data for ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' on their console, ''Luigi Bros.'' can be played straight away without having to be unlocked. The game is accessed on the title screen for the ''Super Mario 3D World'' campaign. In the Nintendo Switch version, there is an additional option to exit back to this title screen, rather than having to exit to the Home Menu and return to access functionality outside of ''Luigi Bros.''
| |
| {{br}}
| |
|
| |
| ==Sequels==
| |
| The game had three obscure sequels: two direct 1984 follow-ups for Japanese home computers called ''[[Mario Bros. Special]]'' and ''[[Punch Ball Mario Bros.]]'', and a 1995 entry for the [[Virtual Boy]] called ''[[Mario Clash]]''.

| |
| *Mario's outfit on the Japanese cover would later be used as an alternate costume for Mario in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and an alternate costume for Wario in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''. The outfit also made a cameo during Mario's transformation into [[Fire Mario|Super Mario]] in the DIC cartoons. Additionally, Luigi's outfit on the Japanese cover would later be used as an alternate costume for Mario in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series and an alternate costume for [[Wario]] in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Wii U''.
