''''' | '''''Mario Bros.''''' is an arcade [[List of games|game]] developed by [[Nintendo]] and released on June 21, [[List of games by date#1983|1983]].<ref name=GM>[https://archive.org/details/game-machine-magazine-19830715p/page/n19/mode/1up Game Machine #216, July 15, 1983 issue, page 38]</ref> It was also released on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] under the [[Arcade Classics Series]] series of games (a version itself later ported to other systems), Atari 2600, Atari 5200, and Atari 7800 as well as a large multitude of home computer systems. The game is often stated to be the first appearance of [[Luigi]] in a game; moreover, Nintendo officially acknowledged this as well during [[the Year of Luigi]] that commemorated his debut. However, this is incorrect, as Luigi actually had previously appeared in the [[Game & Watch]] [[Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)|game of the same name]], though the arcade game was in development first.{{ref needed}} Beyond featuring the Mario brothers, the Game & Watch game bears no similarity to the arcade game. This was the first game to introduce a simultaneous two-player mode, [[coin]]s, [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, and [[POW Block]]s. | ||
''Mario Bros.'' is also included as a separate [[minigame]], functioning like the original game with updated graphics, in the two-player mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', for ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and all four games in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series. | ''Mario Bros.'' is also included as a separate [[minigame]], functioning like the original game with updated graphics, in the two-player mode of ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', for ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', and all four games in the ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' series. | ||

*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.

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 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.

A remake of ''Mario Bros.'' is included in every ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' game, as well as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' (only in the original Game Boy Advance iteration, making it no longer included the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]]). All of these games can connect to each other to play Classic or Battle mode with up to four players. Classic is based on the co-op mode from the original and uses the Japanese arcade phase system. Battle is based on the Battle Game from ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''. The remake also uses the GBA's Single-Pak multiplayer feature. It can connect and play with other GBA systems without the game, although Battle is the only multiplayer mode that can be played in this way. | A remake of ''Mario Bros.'' is included in every ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' game, as well as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' (only in the original Game Boy Advance iteration, making it no longer included the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]]).

The GBA remake of ''Mario Bros.'' enhances the graphics to take advantage of the GBA's 32-bit capabilities, including adding backgrounds to the stages. Music is added where it was originally absent, and voice clips are added in single-player mode. Jumping onto floors has been made easier; mid-air turning is allowed, as opposed to the original where Mario or Luigi had to stay in one direction during jumping.

There are also two POW Blocks per phase set, and they can be picked up much like in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Players can also pick each other up and throw them. | ||
