About
Arcade Archives Mario Bros. is coming down the pipe for Nintendo Switch! By sharing your Joy-Con, you can run, jump, and co-operate to win!
Mario Bros. is an arcade platformer released by Nintendo in 1983.
It's the first game that used Mario in the title. Control Mario or Luigi in order to defeat the enemies coming out of pipes from below – turn them over and then defeat them! In the two-player mode, both players can choose to work together or work against each other and enjoy the game in a myriad of ways.
The Arcade Archives series has faithfully reproduced many classic arcade masterpieces.
Players can change various game settings such as game difficulty, and also reproduce the atmosphere of arcade display settings at that time. Players can also compete against each other from all over the world with their high scores*.
Please enjoy the masterpieces that built a generation of video games.

Mario Bros. isn’t the best game Nintendo ever made, but the optional Hi-Score and Caravan modes force you into playing it in a way that (surprisingly) makes it far more entertaining. Arcade games of this type were always designed for short, five-minute bursts of play, so the Switch’s handheld nature makes it the perfect platform for this. More importantly, this is a chance for retro Nintendo fans to play and own a flawless rendition of the arcade version for the first time ever, for far less than the hundreds (if not thousands) of dollars an old cabinet would sell for these days. Bring on the rest, Hamster!

I enjoy Mario Bros. more than my 7/10 score might indicate. So much has been written about it already, that I have little to add; it's a single-screen action platformer game that set the stage for Super Mario Bros. It has wonky jump physics that show Nintendo hadn't quite yet figured out the secret sauce that would change gaming forever just two years later. It has turtles, but Mario can't jump on them. It introduced the POW block.
It's still a good time, even if it does get quite challenging quickly. As its name implies, Mario Bros. is best enjoyed with a second player controlling Luigi alongside Mario. As a single-player experience, it's fine.
Recommended for Mario fans of all ages, especially those old enough to remember seeing it in an arcade.
