*The first port was released in Japan in 1983 for the Famicom and abroad as part of the NES' [[Arcade Classics Series]] in 1986. It follows the international arcade phases up to Phase 11. This version introduced two difficulty settings: game A (beginner) and game B (expert). Due to hardware limitations, cutscenes have been removed, enemies have much simpler animations, fireballs are made smaller, and [[icicle]]s do not appear. The bonus rounds appear on different stages and none of them have invisible floors. Mario and Luigi's clothes are colored differently. This port has been re-released many times (see [[#Ports of 1983 NES version|below]]). | *The first port was released in Japan in 1983 for the Famicom and abroad as part of the NES' [[Arcade Classics Series]] in 1986.

*The second port was released in 1988 for the [[Family Computer Disk System]], a Japan-exclusive accessory to the Famicom, under the title ''[[Kaettekita Mario Bros.]]'' It is based on the previously released Famicom/NES version, but adds several elements to make the game more arcade-accurate such as icicles. It follows the Japanese arcade phases. In addition, a new mode titled "Nagatanien World" has been added, and the player can now change direction in mid-air. | *The second port was released in 1988 for the [[Family Computer Disk System]], a Japan-exclusive accessory to the Famicom, under the title ''[[Kaettekita Mario Bros.]]''.

*The third port is the European-exclusive "Classic Series" version released in 1993. It was based on the aforementioned ''Kaettekita Mario Bros.'', and retained all the arcade features from it, while removing everything else except for the mid-air change in direction. This version was perhaps the closest port of the arcade game, and was one of only two ports to have the original arcade intermissions (the other being the 1988 {{wp|Atari 8-bit family|Atari 8-bit}} version). Of note is that while the enemies use their sprites and colors from ''Kaettekita Mario Bros.'', Mario & Luigi use theirs from the first NES port. It also restores the game A and B difficulty modes that were missing in the 1988 version. Along with the above version, they are the only two ports to use the Japanese arcade phase system. | *The third port is the European-exclusive "Classic Series" version released in 1993.
