'''''All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.''''' (オールナイトニッポン スーパーマリオブラザーズ) is an officially licensed retool of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', produced in 1986 for the [[Family Computer Disk System]]. As such, there is no 2 Player Game but rather the option to play as [[Luigi]] with his unique physics. This version is based on the Japanese radio program ''{{wp|All Night Nippon}}'', and it was sold through a lottery system on the show itself to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the program in the upcoming year. The game was published by {{wp|Nippon Broadcasting System}}, a subsidiary of {{wp|Fuji TV}} who would go on to publish ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', which was localized in the West as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

Only 3,040 copies were released. Due to high demand and limited supply, listeners were told from December 15 to December 19 to send a postcard which would be entered into a lottery for 2,000 of the copies. The card must be postmarked by December 20 to qualify. Winners received a reply postcard to alert them to send a money order for their copy. 1,000 copies were sold directly at Nippon Broadcasting System's music center window on December 20, which lead to a long queue of prospective buyers in front of the building. In addition, ''Famicom Tsūshin'' (''Famitsu'') and ''Family Computer Magazine'' (''Famimaga'') each gave out 20 free copies to their readers in a lottery. The deadline for ''Famitsu'' was December 25 while ''Famimaga'''s was January 15, 1987. ''Famitsu'' received over 30,000 submissions.<ref>[https://bigafrodogg.hatenablog.com/entry/2022/03/29/190531 New Discovery of ''All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.'' 3/29/2022].

''One day, the peaceful {{wp|All Night Nippon}} dream land Viva Kingdom where [[Toad (species)|Mushroom]]s live was invaded by the tribe of the huge turtle [[Bowser|Koopa]], who possesses powerful magic. Said magical power was used to transform all the quiet Mushroom People into rocks, [[Brick Block|brick]]s and mikes among other forms. All Night Nippon personalities {{wp|Miyuki Nakajima}}, the Tunnels, {{wp|Kyōko Koizumi}}, {{wp|Takeshi Kitano|Beat Takeshi}}, and the AB Brothers were also captured. What became of Sunplaza Nakano? Pitiable Sunplaza was fooled by Koopa's letter to his “Illusionary Business Prosperity” corner into visiting him. And he was changed into [[Koopa (species)|Koopa Tribe]] minion “OkaP”.
