This game's exact release date
I've been wondering when this game was really released. While most sources claim it's somewhere in 1986, [http://www.everything2.com/title/Vs.+Super+Mario+Bros. this one guy] says its PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is from 1985. Meanwhile, Giant Bomb claims it was released in June 14, 1986. Take note that this is only eleven days after the release of The Lost Levels. This could mean that we'd have no real way to say if this game takes levels and other stuff from The Lost Levels or vice versa, because this implies the two games were in development at the same time.

 * He doesn't give the exact timeframe, but in an interview, Miyamoto says Lost Levels was made due to the team's experiene in making harder levels for Vs. Super Mario Bros. so it definitely came before. --Glowsquid (talk) 14:17, 21 December 2015 (EST)
 * While I'm unsure of a 1985 date, it was certainly available before June 14, 1986. This magazine from May 1986 mentions how Japanese arcade owners were illegally importing VS. Super Mario Bros. ROM kits as it was never released in Japan. Wikipedia lists an April 1986 release date but doesn't give a source, however it looks realistic given all that we know so far.--Platform (talk) 01:49, January 1, 2021 (EST)
 * I found a source that lists two release dates for some reason. Here, among Nintendo of America releases, it lists 86/05 as the date, but here, among Nintendo of Japan releases, it lists 86/02 as the date (note it states the VS. Super Mario Bros. was released overseas in parenthesis). I'm not sure what happened there. Maybe somehow the official release got mixed up with around the time bootlegs started showing up, or a Japanese release was planned? At any rate, if there are no better sources, I take it 86/02 must be the likelier date. LinkTheLefty (talk) 03:00, September 1, 2022 (EDT)
