Do you have what it takes to save the Mushroom Princess?
You'll have to think fast and move even faster to complete this quest! The Mushroom Princess is being held captive by the evil Koopa tribe of turtles. It's up to you to rescue her from the clutches of the Koopa King before time runs out. But it won't be easy. To get to the Princess, you'll have to climb mountains, cross seas, avoid bottomless pits, fight off turtle soldiers and a host of black magic traps that only a Koopa King can devise. It's another non-stop adventure from the SUPER MARIO BROS.!
Story
One day, the king of the Koopas Bowser invades the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom and turns the inhabitants into stones, bricks and plants. The only one who is able to undo the black magic of the Koopas is Princess Toadstool, who was captured by Bowser and imprisons her in the last of his eight castles. The Mario Bros. hear about what happened and set out to free the princess, defeat Bowser and restore order to the Mushroom Kingdom.[2]
Gameplay
Super Mario Bros. is a 2D side scrolling platform game, in which players play as Mario to traverse through levels by running or jumping. The object of each stage is to get to the flagpole at the end and clear the level. The game features eight worlds with four stages each, ending with a boss battle with a fake Bowser and Toad stating that the princess isn't in the castle. Throughout the game are blocks, which when hit give players items such as coins and power-ups, which allow Mario to grow in size and take more than one hit.
The game also features a rotational two-player mode in which the second player controls Luigi, competing with the first player to reach the end first and earn a higher score. When one player loses a life, the second player can play from the stage they are on.
