''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.
