Super Mario Bros. (1985)
May 28, 2018, marks the 25th anniversary of 'Super Mario Bros.' The very first live-action adaptation of a video game, ever, was based on the hugely successful series that helped pull the gaming industry out of the 1983 crash. But when it came to its big screen potential, only one man had the vision, producer Roland Joffé.

    The King of All Video Games

    Super Mario Bros. is a game I remember very fondly. It's the one that started the whole home-video-game mania, and perhaps it is best remembered for this historical aspect. But it has such a special place in my heart for a much simpler reason: It was SO MUCH FUN! Flying turtles, angry mushrooms, flashing question marks, piranha plants, twirling fireball sticks, fire flowers...and there are days when I can't get the soundtrack out of my head! The game is quite tricky in places (I've never beaten it myself, though I watched as someone else did--I was curious as to what the actual Princess looked like! I was much better at its equally delightful partner, Duck Hunt), but it always retained that sense of challenge, excitement, and fantastic charm. My mother even became addicted to it!

    Unfortunately, the video game world moves very fast and tends to forget previous projects. When a new, slicker system comes out, the older model is promptly deleted--not just pushed to the background, but actually DELETED, so that you can't find a new cartridge or machine when your old one wears out and starts flashing blue on the TV screen. I think it's very sad that Nintendo and other companies forget the value of basic block graphics, simple controls, and a great game. Still, Mario and Luigi have earned their place in history. No matter what comes and goes, they will always be the ultimate video game icons.

    The first video game I ever played!

    I remember this being the first game I played when I was a kid. I love it along with it's sequels! The music is fun and so are the graphics! With the new games out, this game seems old fashioned, but I remember playing it and liking it.

    Really cool!

    I've been playing this game since I was 4 or 5 years old. Now I'm 10. The main reason I like to go to my cousin Christine's house (Now she's 16 or 17, is to play Super Mario!

    It's so fun, I also play the Nintendo64 mario games. My fav. N64 Mario games are Mario Cart64 and Super Smash Bros.

    It's one of the coolest video games, next to Sonic Pinball.

    If you have a Nintendo system (not N64 NES) or a game boy color, get it!!Play it!! Love it!!!

    THE ORIGINAL IS STILL THE BEST

    Even by today's standards and graphics, I still never get sick of playing this classic. This was the first game I ever played, when it came out in 1985 I was immediately hooked. The music, the way the Goomba's look when you stomp on them, everything is so addictive.

    WARNING...TRICKS AND CODES UP AHEAD.

    I'm sure everyone knows all these but just in case. 100+ MEN IN 3-1, 7-1. 1. At the end of world 3-1 and 7-1 you have the opportunity to get over 100 men, to do this go at the end in 3-1 it will be a turtle, in 7-1 it will be a bulletproof goomba. When there jump on the shell and if done right you should begin to continuously start jumping until you start recieving extras keep doing this as long as you want, but be warned that you might run out of time.

    GET TO WARP ZONE 2, 3, 4. 2. In world 1-2 go towards the end instead entering the pipe that leads to the flag, go jump at the top of the pipe and kepp running until you see 3 more pipes those are the warp zones.

    GET TO WARP ZONE 5 3. At the end of 4-2 do the same as in 1-2, only you will see just one pipe that is your warp zone.

    GET TO WARP ZONES 6, 7, 8 In world 4-2 just after you jump off the first set of elevator lifts there is a secret vine, find that and go up it when you go all the way up you will in a world similar looking like 4-3 go to the end 3 more pipes will be there that is you warp zones.

    The game that got people to play video games at home again! No wonder because...

    It's a great game! Prior to the game's and the system it was for which was the NES, the home video game system industry was in a funk. The industry crashed in 1983, and it seemed dead completely. That was until Nintendo released this game. This is one of my all time faves to play! I never get tired of playing this game, even though I've beaten it quite a few times. LONG LIVE MARIO, AND LUIGI!!!

    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Shigeru Miyamoto had originally wanted to give Mario a dinosaur to ride on for the game, unfortunately the hardware limitations of the NES wouldn't allow for it. He was able to finally fulfill his wish in Super Mario World (1990), which ran on the far more powerful Super NES, and named the dinosaur Yoshi.
    • Goofs
      At the beginning of the first level of each world (except for the first one), it shows Mario standing in front of the castle, which he had just previously cleared in the previous world. However, at the beginning of World 5, the castle is only a mini fortress instead of a full-sized castle like it should be.
    • Quotes

      Mushroom Retainer: [repeated line; after Mario or Luigi defeats Bowser] Thank you Mario, but our princess is in another castle!

    • Alternate versions
      In 2010, Nintendo released a limited edition red variant of the Wii console as a part of celebrating the Super Mario series' 25th anniversary. As a bonus, this version of the system came pre-loaded with "25th Anniversary Super Mario Bros", a modified version of the original NES game. The only difference is the graphics for the item blocks, which now have the number "25" on them instead of questions marks.
