[edit] Game Modes

The game has six different modes that can be accessed from the main menu.

[edit] Original Mario Bros.

This mode plays, for the most part, similarly to the Mario Bros. game that was released to arcades. However, there are several differences.

• Some new levels were added.
• Mario and Luigi can now change direction in mid-air (much like modern remakes).
• The graphics and music were improved somewhat.
• High scores can now be saved.
• Advertisements appeared in between levels. Some were for upcoming Mario games, such as Super Mario Bros. 3. Others were for the Japanese food company Nagatanien, sponsor of this game.
• There is also a two player version of this mode. In this mode, both players are active at the same time.

[edit] Nagatanien World

This mode is similar to Original Mario Bros., but two additional features are active.

• After losing all lives and receiving a game over, players will be given the chance to play a Slot Machine Mini-Game. Should they get a match, they will be allowed to continue their game without the score and phase counters resetting. However, this area can only be visited once per game.
  • Nagatanien (永谷園) - 4 extra lives
  • Three matches- 2 extra lives
  • Two matches - 1 extra life
• After reaching 100 000 points, players were given promotional codes that could be mailed in to be entered in a drawing for Mario playing cards. At 200 000 points, players were given another code for a copy of Super Mario Bros 3. All players who sent in codes received an additional free Mario Keyring. This promotion was active from November 30, 1988 to May 31, 1989.

[edit] Name Registration

Player one and player two may register their name, age, and gender. These are used when a high score is broken and to refer to players with honorifics appropriate for their gender.
