Overview

The video game Super Mario Bros., initially released for the Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985, marked a significant departure from its arcade predecessor, super mario bros by introducing side-scrolling platformer levels. Although not the first entry in the Super Mario franchise (preceded by Donkey Kong), Super Mario Bros. is undoubtedly the most renowned, introducing iconic elements such as power-ups, classic adversaries like Goombas, and the core narrative of rescuing Princess Peach from Bowser.
