Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros. is a legendary platform video game that was released by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1985. It is considered one of the most influential and best-known video games of all time and laid the foundation for the modern platform genre.

In Super Mario Bros. players take on the role of Mario, the likeable plumber with the red cap, and set out to save the Mushroom Kingdom. The aim is to free Princess Peach from the clutches of the evil King Bowser. If you play in pairs, you can also take turns controlling Mario's brother Luigi.

Super Mario Bros. takes you through eight worlds with four levels each, ranging from grassy landscapes and underground caves to water and castle levels. Mario collects coins, jumps on enemies, avoids traps and uses power-ups such as the Super Mushroom, the Fire Flower or the Star to become stronger.

The controls of Super Mario Bros. are simple but precise, which makes the game enjoyable to play even today despite its age. The colorful graphics and catchy music - especially the iconic theme tune - have become deeply engrained in pop culture.

Super Mario Bros. was not only a huge commercial success, but also defined what a good video game should look like. It sold millions of copies, often shipped together with the NES, and made Mario a world-famous Nintendo character.
