Super Mario Bros. Special is a platform game that was developed by Hudson Soft and released in 1986 for the NEC PC-8801 and Sharp X1 series of Japanese computers, and later for the Samsung SPC-1500,[1] a South Korean clone of the X1. Super Mario Bros. Special was the second Nintendo-licensed follow-up to Super Mario Bros., released around three months after Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.[2]

The game scrolls between scenes similarly to The Legend of Zelda. The PC-8801 version handles this by turning the display black briefly while loading the next screen, while the X1 handles it more smoothly by visually sliding to the next lock point, though the transition has some overlap.

Super Mario Bros. Special has changes in difficulty similar to Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. The jumping and dashing physics from the Family Computer release are different. The stage time also ticks slightly faster. There is no multiplayer mode, and the player does not have the option to play as Luigi.

Super Mario Bros. Special has inferior graphics and audio in both the PC-8801 and X1 releases because both systems do not have as great hardware specifications as the Family Computer, but still attempt to replicate the graphics of Super Mario Bros. nonetheless. The X1 version contains partial scrolling and slightly more colorful graphics, featuring all eight colors possible with 100% and 0% RGB, including lime-green, cyan, magenta and white. The PC-88 release of Super Mario Bros. Special uses only black, red, yellow, and blue, including dithered results with those four colors, and it does not use internal eight-color palette of the PC-88. Further, sprites exclude the use of blue to allow transparency in the sprites. This leads to yellow being used as a stand-in for white and swapping with red for recolored enemies, notably causing the "green" enemies to appear with red eyes.

GameplayEdit

See also: Super Mario Bros. § Gameplay

Gameplay of Super Mario Bros. Special is structured similarly to the original Super Mario Bros. The object of the game is to get to the flagpole to advance to the next level. While on his way to the goal, Mario encounters many enemies and power-ups.

ControlsEdit

While the PC-88 release of the game can be controlled both with the computer's keyboard or with a joypad, the X1 version can only be played with a X1-compatible joypad.

ObjectsEdit

Objects are interactable elements of the environment that cannot be picked up or collected. Unlike items and enemies, which are sourced from multiple games, every object is from the original Super Mario Bros.

Blocks
? Block     Floating blocks which contain items and power-ups, which releases its contents when Mario hits it from below. Some ? Blocks are invisible, and must be jumped into can reveal both the blocks themselves as well as their contents. These blocks can be struck by regular Mario.
Brick             Floating blocks that can be broken by Super Mario or Fiery Mario if struck from below, and may occasionally hide items or other power-ups.
Bridge         Thin, roped platforms that Mario can walk across, usually found in athletic stages.
Coral     Coral pillars of various sizes appear in water, blocking Mario's movement.
Small cloud     Cloud-shaped blocks which primarily appear in Coin Heaven bonus areas, or over large pits.
Stairblock         Unbreakable blocks that can be found either on the ground or floating over pits, forming climbable staircases or other bumpy formations.
Platforms
Island     Platforms usually situated above pits or in athletic courses, which can be stood on top of. Unlike in the original Super Mario Bros., however, Islands can appear in standard courses, on top of ordinary ground, such as in Worlds 5-2 or 6-1.
Jumping board     Jumping boards that Mario can use to launch himself into the air. Found exclusively in Worlds 2-1 and 7-1.
Lift  
  		 
  		Floating, moving platforms which commonly appear in athletic stages and fortresses. Some lifts move side-to-side, others move as part of an elevator, some falling if stood on, and some coming in pairs, balancing on one another.
Pipe     Pipes that can serve as columns with differing heights, occasionally housing Piranha Plants, or can be entered either from the top or from entrances on their sides, entered by Mario either crouching on top of or pressing against them.
Super mushroom     Tall, mushroom-shaped platforms with wide caps that Mario can stand on top of, commonly found in athletic stages above pits.
Goals
Ax     Large axes that function as the goal for castle levels. Upon touching the ax, Bowser is immediately defeated, and Mario automatically moves to the following chamber. Unlike Super Mario Bros., there is no animation of the bridge collapsing behind the ax.
Flagpole     Tall flagpoles that function as the goal for most ordinary levels. When Mario touches one, he slides to the bottom before finishing the level. The higher Mario lands on the pole, the more points he obtains.
Miscellaneous
Beanstalk     Tall beanstalks that can occasionally emerge from ? Blocks, leading to secret areas.
Horsehair plant     Tall, stalk-like plants that grow in the backgrounds of some stages. Occasionally, the tips of shorter Horsehair plants will be used for other pieces of scenery, such as in a secret area in World 2-2.

Enemies and obstaclesEdit

EnemiesEdit

Hudson Soft's staff brought over enemies from Super Mario Bros. as well as earlier Super Mario games. All are referred to by their Japanese names in-game, with a typo in one case (or called by new names in the case of the earlier games' enemies), and ordered per their listing in the cast and credits:

GlitchesEdit

Main article: List of Super Mario Bros. Special glitches

Due to both the PC-88 and X1 being weaker compared to the NES/Famicom, as well as working off a largely different engine, some glitches and tricks that were previously not present in the original appear here.

AWOL objectsEdit

On occasion, failing to either defeat select enemies or otherwise despawn objects will cause other enemies or objects later in the stage to not appear. This glitch occurs in both versions of the game, and is very unpredictable. Most notably, the second Flimsy Lift in the wide pit in World 4-3 will fail to load if the second Scale Lift is not destroyed, causing the pit to become impossible to cross and requiring Mario to lose a life.[3]
