Mario Bros. is a two-player arcade game by Nintendo. It is Mario's first game outside of the Donkey Kong series, and the game introduces his brother Luigi as well as the Shellcreeper enemy (which seemed to be a form of the Koopa Troopa, a staple enemy of the later Mario games) and coin-collecting. The was popular even with the decline of the video game industry at the time, and has been often ported to other systems.

Gameplay

The first player controls Mario (while the second player, if any, controlled Luigi) in exterminating various types of pests which infested the sewers. The game was split up into various phases which was each cleared when every main enemy (the Shellcreepers, the Sidesteppers and the Fighter Flies) were eliminated. The enemies were all beaten in the same way, by jumping into the platform beneath them to flip them over onto their backs, then running up to them and kicking them away. There were also several other enemies (the fireballs and the Freezies) which did not have to be defeated in order to complete a level.
