Mario Bros. (マリオブラザーズ; Mario Burazāzu) is an arcade video game developed by Nintendo in 1983 and later ported to various platforms, such as the Nintendo Entertainment System or the Atari 2600. It was the second appearance of Mario, being the first time he appears under his final name, as in the video game Donkey Kong he appeared under the alias 'Jumpman'. Also notable is the first appearance of his brother Luigi. Summary 1 game Two Enemies 3 Gallery 4 Video 5 external link 6 See also exp-player-logo game The Mario brothers are two plumbers, Mario and Luigi, who investigate the sewers of New York City after strange creatures appear there. The objective of the video game is to defeat all the enemies in each level. The two ends of each level have a mechanical feature that allows the player to exit from the left and reappear from the right, and vice versa (as in the original Pac-Man video game). The more levels Mario clears, the higher the difficulty, and more enemies will appear, each time stronger and much more difficult. Like many other arcade video games of the time, Mario Bros. has a scoring system. Points can be earned in various ways, such as collecting coins or defeating enemies. The player can get points by defeating various enemies one after another, and the player will be able to participate in a bonus round that gives the player the chance to collect more points. Two years later a video game based on the same character, Super Mario Bros., became one of the best-selling games in history, followed by the video games Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3. Enemies The brothers vs. the turtles Turtles: There are two types of turtles in the game, including green and red. They are the most basic form of enemies and are the ancestors, precursors, and possibly ancestors of the Koopa Troopas of later games. A single jump from below will flip them regardless of their color. After this, the player must eject them. The only difference between the two is that the red ones are a bit faster. Crabs: There are three types including red, green, and pink. They first appear in the fourth round (fifth in the Japanese version). To defeat a crab, the player must jump under its platform twice before completely bopping it in the head. After that, the player can kick them out. After the first bop they start to increase their speed. Reds are the slowest of the bunch, greens are in the middle, and pinks are the fastest. Flies: First appear in the sixth (seventh in Japan) stage of the game. They are tough because they constantly jump and the only way to flip them is to knock them down when they are on the ground. Unlike crabs, they only require one hit from below. Once they are upside down, the player can shoot them down like any other enemy. This is the last of the standard enemies the player will encounter in the game. Tempanito: The final creature found in the game, it is an icicle-like enemy. They can be defeated by being hit from below and have no other defenses. If Mario Bros. fails to defeat it in time, the platform it is on will be covered in ice, making it more difficult to control the brothers while they are on that platform. Outside of this game, Tempanito has made more appearances than any other enemy included in Mario Bros.
