'''''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 successor [[Super Mario Bros. 2|sharing its English name with its predecessor's Japanese name]] was released on October 9, 1988. A third successor named ''[[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 [[Classics#NES Classic Edition|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, [[Bowser|King Koopa]], the great and powerful leader of the militaristic [[Koopa Troop]], invades the peaceful [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. He and his Koopa Troop are jealous of the beautiful kingdom, and King Bowser decides to take it for himself. To do this, Bowser casts an evil spell upon the kingdom and transforms all of its [[Toad (species)|inhabitants]] into [[block]]s, weeds, and other odd objects. It is foretold that only [[King Toadstool]]'s daughter [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] can undo the spell. Knowing this, Bowser immediately kidnaps her. Fortunately, the heroic Mario Bros. learns about the Mushroom Kingdom's plight and the Princess's kidnapping and they race to rescue her.
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==
[[File:Smbtitle.gif|thumb|The title screen]]
[[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.
