'''''Super Mario Bros.'''''
As well as kicking off an entire series of ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' platformer games, the wild success of ''Super Mario Bros.'' popularized the genre as a whole, helped revive the North American gaming industry after the {{wp|video game crash of 1983}}, and was largely responsible for the initial success of the NES, with which it was bundled as a launch title. Until it was eventually surpassed by ''[[mh:nintendo:Wii Sports|Wii Sports]]'', ''Super Mario Bros.'' was the best-selling video game of all time for nearly three decades, with over 40 million copies sold worldwide.
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. 2|successor]] with the same English title as its predecessor's Japanese name was released on October 9, 1988. A second successor, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', was released on October 23, 1988.
''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]].
==Story==
One day, [[
The player takes the role of [[Mario]], or in the case of a second player, Mario's brother [[Luigi]]. The ultimate objective is to race through the worlds of the [[Mushroom Kingdom]], evade or eliminate [[Bowser|Bowser's]] forces, and save the Princess.<ref>''Super Mario Bros.'' game manual, page 2.</ref>
==Gameplay==
[[
''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.
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.
Mario can get special power-ups out of [[? 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 100 [[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.
[[
At the end of each level, there is a castle with a [[Flagpole]] nearby. When Mario reaches the flagpole, he takes down Bowser's 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 [[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.

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.

==Trivia==
{{trivia}}
* 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>
