Super Mario Bros. on Turbografx-16: Join Mario and Luigi in this legendary 8-bit platformer. Defeat Bowser, collect power-ups, and navigate challenging levels in the Mushroom Kingdom's side-scrolling adventure.
Super Mario Bros. is a groundbreaking 2D platformer developed by Nintendo and originally released for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). As a Turbografx-16-style game, it challenges players to guide Mario (or Luigi) through eight vibrant worlds filled with enemies, obstacles, and hidden secrets. The goal is to rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser by navigating side-scrolling levels, collecting power-ups, and defeating bosses.
• Iconic Platforming Gameplay: Traverse horizontally scrolling levels with precise jump-and-run mechanics.
• Power-Ups: Collect items like the Super Mushroom (to grow larger), Fire Flower (to shoot fireballs), and Starman (for temporary invincibility).
• Diverse Worlds: Explore themed environments such as grasslands, deserts, oceans, and castles.
• Secret Areas: Discover hidden warp zones, invisible blocks, and bonus rooms.
• Cooperative Play: Team up with a second player as Luigi in select modes.
What makes Super Mario Bros. different from later Mario games?
It established core platforming mechanics like power-ups and side-scrolling design, which later games expanded upon with 3D environments and new abilities.
How many players can play simultaneously?
The original version supports 1-2 players, with the second player controlling Luigi in alternating turns (not simultaneous).
What happens if Mario gets hit while small?
Mario loses a life. If he has no lives left, the game ends. Collecting 100 coins grants an extra life.
