The Super Mario Bros Game

Super Mario Bros a platform video game developed by Nintendo in late 1985 and published for the Nintendo Entertainment System as a sequel to the 1983 game Mario Bros. In Super Mario Bros., the titular characters seek to rescue Princess Toadstool of the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser, king of the Koopas. Mario's younger brother, Luigi, is only playable by the second player in the game's multiplayer mode, and assumes the same plot role as Mario.

For over two decades, Super Mario Bros. was the best-selling video game of all time, before being outsold by Nintendo's own Wii Sports in 2009.

Excluding Game Boy Advance and Virtual Console sales, the game has sold 40.24 million copies worldwide. It was largely responsible for the initial success of the Nintendo Entertainment System, as well as ending the two-year slump of console game sales in the United States after the video game crash of 1983. As one of Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka's most influential early successes,
it has inspired many clones, sequels, and spin-offs. Its theme music by Koji Kondo is recognized worldwide, even by those who have not played the game, and has been considered a representation for video game music in general.

The game was succeeded by two separate sequels that were produced for different markets a Japanese sequel which features the same game format as the original and a Western sequel that was localized from an originally unrelated game titled Yume Kojo Doki Doki Panic. In both cases, the games are titled Super Mario Bros. 2, causing both games to be rereleased in different countries with different titles. There also have been many "alternate" versions of the game, such as All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros., which featured personalities from the Japanese radio show of the same name. The success of Super Mario Bros. has caused it to be ported to almost every one of Nintendo's major gaming consoles, as well as the NEC PC-8801 in the form of Super Mario Bros. Special.

In late 2010, Nintendo officially celebrated the game's 25th anniversary, and released special red variants of the Wii and Nintendo DSi XL in differently re-packaged, Mario-themed, and limited edition bundles in all regions, in addition to a re-packaged, limited edition SNES compilation released for the Wii known as Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition (Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition in the United States).
