Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros. on the NES is a seminal side-scrolling platformer that revolutionized the video game industry. Players control Mario (or his brother Luigi in the two-player mode) as they journey through the fantastical Mushroom Kingdom to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of the evil Bowser. The game features iconic gameplay mechanics like jumping, running, collecting power-ups such as the Super Mushroom and Fire Flower, and navigating cleverly designed levels filled with Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and hidden secrets. Its innovative level design, memorable music, and charming characters established many of the core elements that would define the platforming genre for decades to come, making it a timeless classic.
