Mario Bros on the Atari 7800 is a 1983 platformer that challenges players to control Mario and Luigi as they clear levels of enemies emerging from pipes in a single-screen environment. The main objective focuses on defeating all creatures while avoiding hazards to advance through increasingly difficult stages.
The game’s pace is steady yet engaging, requiring precise timing to jump and strike enemies from below. A unique mechanic involves hitting the platform beneath enemies to flip them over before finishing them off, adding a strategic layer to the traditional platform formula.
Mario Bros introduces an unusual idea of cooperative multiplayer where two players can team up simultaneously, enhancing the gameplay experience. This distinctive feature, combined with its simple yet effective design, makes the Mario Bros Atari 7800 a noteworthy early entry in the platform genre.
