'''''Mario Bros.''''' is an arcade [[List of games|game]] developed by [[Nintendo]] and released on June 21, [[List of games by date#1983|1983]].<ref name=GM>[https://archive.org/details/game-machine-magazine-19830715p/page/n19/mode/1up Game Machine #216, July 15, 1983 issue, page 38]</ref> It was also released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] under the [[Arcade Classics Series]] series of games (a version itself later ported to other systems), Atari 2600, Atari 5200, and Atari 7800 as well as a large multitude of home computer systems. The game is often stated to be the first appearance of [[Luigi]] in a game; moreover, Nintendo officially acknowledged this as well during [[the Year of Luigi]] that commemorated his debut. However, this is incorrect, as Luigi actually had previously appeared in the [[Game & Watch]] [[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|game of the same name]], though the arcade game was in development first.{{ref needed}} Beyond featuring the Mario brothers, the Game & Watch game bears no similarity to the arcade game. This was the first game to introduce a simultaneous two-player mode, [[coin]]s, [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, and [[POW Block]]s.

''Mario Bros.'' is also included as a separate [[minigame]], functioning like the original game with updated graphics, in the two-player mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', as well as in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and all four games in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series.
