'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' is a video game released for the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in [[List of games by date#1985|1985]]. It shifted the gameplay away from its single-screen arcade predecessor, ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', and instead featured side-scrolling platformer levels. While not the first game of the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]] (the first being ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''), ''Super Mario Bros.'' is the most iconic, and introduced various series staples, including power-ups, classic enemies such as [[Goomba]]s, and the basic premise of rescuing [[Princess Peach]] from [[Bowser]].

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]].

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>
