Mario Bros. is an enhanced port of the Nintendo Entertainment System game of the same name that was released in Germany in 1993. Much like Mario Bros. Returns and the original game's Nintendo Entertainment System port, this game re-implements multiple features from the arcade version that were originally cut in the home console releases. It is the only game within the Nintendo Classics marketing label to have significant revisions. A Japanese release that was planned for the Family Computer was submitted internally through lotcheck on July 12, 1994, and was approved three days later on July 15, though it was ultimately shelved.[2][3]

Changes[edit]

Mario Bros. now allows the player to turn in midair after a jump, a feature that was also present in Mario Bros. Returns. In addition, all of the cutscenes shown in the arcade version of the game have been reimplemented. The icicle obstacles have also been reimplemented, making this game one of the few ports of Mario Bros. to feature icicles. The arcade version of the game also featured a bonus stage with invisible floors, which was also reimplemented in this port of the game. Graphics for enemies, which were simplified in the initial Nintendo Entertainment System release, have also been modified to appear as they do in Mario Bros. Returns, which is closer to how they did in the arcade release of the game. However, Mario and Luigi themselves reuse their sprites from the original NES release.
