CMario Mario and Luigi Mario (the Mario Brothers) must try to get rid of Shellcreepers (turtles), Sidesteppers (crabs) (need to be hit twice), and Fighterflies (flies)(can only be defeated while they touch the platform) who come pouring out of the waterworks.Hit the floor beneath them to flip them over, then kick them into the water. Collect coins for bonus.
Later, the Slipice will come out and freeze the platforms making your traction very poor. As the game progresses water drops hang below the platforms and freeze into deadly icicles which fall soon after.
Keep track of the green fireballs as they will appear more frequenly. The red fireball can also be a menace. If you have to you can hit the fireballs from below when they touch the platform. Beware of hitting the red fireball. It rapidly reappears and moves much faster.
Hit the POW platform to knock over your enemies and destroy fireballs. Be wise, you only get three per level. Each difficulty level begins with three POW's and a bonus wave which coins are collected.
The first player controls Mario (blue) and the second player controls Luigi (green). You can either work together to kill all the opponents, or compete by putting the other player in a position to be killed.... (more)(less)
"Every time I saw this game, I never had anyone to play it with but when I did, it was all great fun but its a machine that I have probably seen the least of since Mario has been on more modern systems."

"Mario Bros. (1983), developed by Shigeru Miyamoto, offered two-player simultaneous cooperative play and laid the groundwork for two-player cooperative platformers."
