SUPER MARIO BROS

THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION

CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB

Super Mario Bros, a 1985 platformer for the NES, is a cornerstone of video game history. It stars Mario and Luigi in a quest to rescue Princess Toadstool from Bowser. The game features side-scrolling levels with enemies and power-ups like the Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and Starman. Its level design is considered a tutorial for platform gameplay. It was a key factor in the video game industry revival after the 1983 crash and popularized the side-scrolling platform genre. The game's music, composed by Koji Kondo, is also highly regarded. Super Mario Bros. has had numerous re-releases and remakes. It has also been adapted to other media including anime, live-action film, and pinball.

CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:

Super Mario Bros. was designed by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka, who drew from their experiences working on previous games like Devil World and Excitebike. The game was intended to be a culmination of the Famicom team's three years of experience in game mechanics and programming.

The first level of Super Mario Bros., World 1-1, was designed as a tutorial to teach players the mechanics of platform gameplay. It introduces in-game hazards through repetition and escalation, allowing players to gradually understand the game.

The game's music, composed by Koji Kondo, was created to not only be catchy but to also enhance the emotional and physical experience of the player. The music was coordinated with the onscreen animations, which created a sense of greater immersion.
