Super Mario Bros
5/5 (1 Reviews)About Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros is a side-scrolling platformer game where players take the role of Mario, a plumber who travels through the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue Princess Toadstool from the antagonist Bowser. The setting is the colorful but perilous Mushroom Kingdom, which is filled with enemies, hidden areas, and deceptively designed maps.
Super Mario Bros is easy to describe, at least at a high level: Move right, jump over things, kill things. But it takes skill, timing and patience if you want to play it right. Different kinds of levels have problems unique to them, with difficult enemy arrangments and secret blocks that reward curiosity. This combination of simplicity and depth is what keeps Super Mario Bros game so loved long after its release.
How to Play Super Mario Bros
Super Mario Bros online is played from a traditional side-scrolling platform perspective. In each level, you need to accomplish one thing: jump through the flagpole at the end as you finish the level. On the way you’ll battle some familiar bad guys: Goombas and Koopa Troopas, plus pits, moving platforms, and a few surprises hidden in the hills.
Coins that litter the stages also incentivize exploring, and question-mark blocks frequently hold useful power-ups. Some levels are better played at a slow, cautious pace, while others require you to think – and jump – fast. Complete with 32 made-for-you stages and endless play levels, Super Mario Bros. has longevity, particularly in its browser editions, which could feature endlessly or randomly generated maps.
Power-ups are essential in Super Mario Bros, and they can alter the way you go through a stage:
- Super Mushroom: Mario becomes Super Mario and can break bricks.
- Fire Flower: Mario becomes Fire Mario and can throw bouncing fireballs.
- Super Star: Gives Mario temporary invulnerability, allowing him to kill anything he touches.
- Alternatively, you can make the most out of these power-ups to sail through a tough stage.
