Enjoy Playing Super Mario Bros
Mario Bros arrived in 1985 and rewrote the rules of platform games by sending two Italian plumbers into the Mushroom Kingdom. They aim to free Princess Toadstool from Bowser’s clutches. Mushrooms let the characters grow and flowers let them toss fireballs.
Every stage hides spots ready to be found and some lead to hidden rooms with extra coins. Others contain power-ups for bigger jumps or fire attacks. Warp zones move you ahead to later worlds and invite repeat play.
The soundtrack made a lasting mark on game music and Koji Kondo made a tune you still hum after a level ends. Unique bleeps and bloops add life to every jump and block smash. Those sound ideas shaped how later games handle music and effects.
