All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. (オールナイトニッポン　スーパーマリオブラザーズ Oorunaito Nippon Suupaa Mario Burazaazu) is an officially-licensed Super Mario Bros. hack based on the Japanese radio program, All Night Nippon, released in 1986 only in Japan. The gameplay is the same as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, but the Mushroom Retainers and some of the enemies are replaced with Japanese celebrities. The game was held as raffle prize from All Night Nippon itself, and was published by Fuji Television.

[edit] Differences

  • Goombas and Piranha Plants have been changed to big-headed caricatures of DJs Sunplaza Nakano and Tamori, respectively.
  • Microphones replaced the mushrooms found in the background.
  • The Fujisankei (the company that runs All Night Nippon) logo is found on the flag that is raised when Mario enters a fortress.
  • The Fujisankei logo is also found as the ax that sits behind Bowser.
  • The Mushroom Retainers have been changed to Japanese celebrities, while Princess Peach gets a geisha outfit.
  • As with Vs. Super Mario Bros., the locations of ? Blocks and Brick Blocks have changed around, though the changes are different from Vs.
  • The Starman has been changed into a Hiranya, a symbol popularized by a Japanese radio show called Young Paradise. The Hiranya also resembles the Star of David, a symbol of Judaism.
  • Most of the graphical changes from The Lost Levels have been carried over, with the exception of the bricks (which have reverted to their original simplistic design from the first game).
  • Mario and Luigi, when stopping after running, make the same skidding noise as in The Lost Levels and later, in Super Mario Bros. 3.
  • World 1 was changed to night time.
  • Windstorms were removed, affecting the difficulty of the courses they were found in (most noticeably World B-1).
  • World A-3 had its cloud platforms replaced with the mushroom platforms from World 4. This was because the clouds occupied the same graphic space as the mushrooms in The Lost Levels.
  • World 4-4 and World 7-4 have their maze solutions revised.

[edit] Celebrities

The celebrities that Mario had to rescue at the end of every world are as follows:

  • The Starman from the game.

  • Mario's small form in the game.

  • The Mushroom-type Platforms in World 1-2 as also seen in The Lost Levels.

  • Mario jumping to a platform in World 1-3.

  • Mario fighting Bowser.

  • The end of a level.

  • The Ax from the game.

  • The head by the pipe is Sunplaza Nakano, while the head in the pipe is Tamori, both respective replacements of Goomba and Piranha Plant.

  • Mario loses a life.

  • Mario saves Princess Peach

[edit] Trivia

  • Goro Itoi is unlisted in the game's instruction manual, likely to make his appearance in the game a surprise tribute to him, as he was one of the original DJs of All Night Nippon.
  • This wouldn't be the last time Nintendo has allowed Mario to mingle with the realm of Japanese radio personalities - thanks to the Satellaview, this game has spiritual successors in BS Super Mario USA, BS Super Mario Collection and a version of Wario's Woods.
