Template:Infobox Kaette Kita Mario Bros. (かえってきたマリオブラザーズ) or The Return of Mario Bros. in English, is a game for the Famicom Disk System released on November 30, 1988. The game was released only in Japan.[1]. It is basically an updated version of Mario Bros.

Game Modes

The game has several modes that can be accessed from the main menu.

Original Mario Bros.

This mode plays similarly to the Mario Bros. that was released to arcades. However, there are several differences.

  • Some new levels were added.
  • Mario and Luigi can now change direction in mid-air (much like modern remakes).
  • The graphics and music were improved somewhat.
  • High scores can now be saved.
  • Advertisements appeared between levels. Some were for other Mario games, such as Super Mario Bros. 3. Others were for the Japanese food company Nagatanien, who sponsored this game.

The Slots Mini-Game.

This mode is similar to Original Mario Bros., but two additional features are active:

  • After losing all lives and receiving a game over, players will be given the chance to play a Slot Machine Minigame. Should they get a match, they will be allowed to continue their game without the score and phase counters resetting. However, this area can only be visited once per game.
    • Nagatanien (永谷園) - 4 extra lives
    • Three matches- 2 extra lives
    • Two matches - 1 extra life
  • After reaching 100,000 points, players are given promotional codes that can be mailed in to be entered in a drawing for Mario playing cards. At 200,000 points, players are given another code for a copy of Super Mario Bros 3, which released on the month earlier in Japan for the Famicom. All players who send in codes receive a free Mario keyring.

This promotion was active from November 30, 1988 to May 31, 1989.

Name registration

Players one and two may register their name, age, and gender. These are used when a high score is broken and to refer to players with honorifics appropriate for their gender.

Notices

In this mode, a Shellcreeper explains the promotional features of Nagatanien World.

Trivia

  • One of the advertisements is the Super Mario cereal's ad.
