Mario Bros. is an arcade game released in 1986 for the Nintendo NES. The game centers around two plumbers, Mario and Luigi, who must eliminate creatures emerging from the sewers of New York. Players navigate a single-screen platform filled with pipes and platforms to defeat enemies and clear each stage.
The main objective is to defeat all enemies on the screen by hitting the platforms underneath them, causing them to flip over, and then kicking them off the stage. The gameplay is fast-paced, requiring quick reflexes and strategic movement to avoid enemy attacks. Points are earned by defeating enemies and collecting bonus coins that occasionally appear.
A distinctive feature of Mario Bros. is its cooperative two-player mode, where players can work together or compete for the highest score. The game’s use of a single-screen layout with multi-level platforms and enemy interactions creates a unique, challenging environment that emphasizes timing and coordination. This mechanic laid the groundwork for many future platformers.
