The exact day of the North American release of ''Super Mario Bros.'' is heavily disputed, with different sources giving different dates with no way to verify them. Regardless, Nintendo officially pinpoints the release date as October 18, 1985.<ref name=narelease/>
A successor named ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' in Japan (later renamed ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' in North America) was released on June 3, 1986. Another
''Super Mario Bros.'' has been [[#Alternate versions and re-releases|ported]] to many consoles. It was one of the NES games that could be played on the [[Nintendo PlayChoice-10]] and [[NES Classic Edition]], and it was released on the [[Wii]], [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] and on [[Nintendo Switch]]'s [[Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]].

==Gameplay==

[[File:SMBLevel.png|thumb|left|[[Super Mario]] in World 1-1]]
''Super Mario Bros.'' is divided into eight worlds, which each have four levels. Mario has to get to the end of the level by jumping over various gaps and avoiding the enemies on his way. Mario can use several platforms (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 coin rooms before returning to the level, a bit further ahead than when he left.
Some of the enemies include [[Goomba]]s, [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Buzzy Beetle]]s, [[Paratroopa]]s, [[Bullet Bill]]s, [[Hammer Bro|Hammer Bro]]s, and jumping [[Cheep Cheep]]s. All these enemies can be defeated when Mario jumps on them. Koopa Troopas and Buzzy Beetles will cower in their shell when jumped on, which Mario can kick to defeat other enemies with. Koopa Paratroopas will also lose their wings and fall to the ground when Mario jumps on them. [[Piranha Plant]]s, [[Lakitu]]s (who throw [[Spiny|Spinies]]) and Hammer Bros are among the enemies harder to
If [[Small Mario]] takes a hit, falls down a pit, or if the [[time limit]] runs out, he dies and loses a life, and restarts the level. The point where Mario continues depends on how far he ran through the level before dying; either from the very beginning, or at one of several invisible "checkpoints" throughout the level.
Line 48:
The fourth level of each world plays inside a castle. They are usually filled with [[Podoboo]]s, and [[Fire Bar|Podoboo Cog]]s. At the end of a castle level, Mario is confronted with a [[False Bowser]] in Worlds 1 - 7 and the real Bowser in World 8. Mario ordinarily has no way to hurt Bowser, and has to either use the [[Ax]] to destroy the bridge, causing either the false Bowser or the real Bowser to fall into the [[lava]], or pelt Bowser with a number of fireballs, which produces the same result and reveals the true forms of the fakes. After defeating a false Bowser, Mario frees several [[Toad (species)|Toads]] from the castle, at which point they say their iconic sentence: "Thank you, Mario! But our princess is in another castle...". After Mario defeats the real Bowser at the end of the castle in World 8, Mario frees the grateful Princess Toadstool and completes his adventure.
===Modes===
After beating the game, the player is given the option to start the game again in '''Hard Mode''', where all Goombas are replaced by Buzzy Beetles, and all enemies walk faster; all of the elevator-style lifts are about sixty-percent of their original size, while [[firebar]]s appear in all possible locations. However, the player still has the same amount of time to complete each level. The Mario Bros. 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, he or she will unlock nothing new from the previous time the game was finished.

==Development==
''Super Mario Bros.'' was developed at the same time as ''[[The Legend of Zelda (game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'', both games by [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], Takashi Tezuke, Toshihiko Nakago, [[Koji Kondo]], the composer, Kazuaki Morita and Yasunari Nishida, two programmers, and [[Hiroshi Yamauchi]], the executive producer.
According to the developers, some aspects in ''Super Mario Bros.'' were taken from ''The Legend of Zelda''. One example is [[Firebar]]s, as they were present in the castles in ''The Legend of Zelda''. Firebars were implemented into ''Super Mario Bros.'' as an obstacle.

* The ''Super Mario Bros. Deluxe'' manual and the the [[Virtual Console]] page of this game state that Koopas used black magic to aid their conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom, though the only other occurrences of this is by the Koopalings in [[Super Mario Bros. 3]] and Bowser in ''[[Paper Mario (series)|Paper Mario]]'' (with the aid of the [[Star Rod]]) and in ''[[Mario Party (series)|Mario Party]]''.
* 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>
