Super Mario Bros. series

The original Super Mario Bros. launched on the Japanese Famicom console in October 1985. Does it really need an introduction?

The most common version of the classic was this compilation that included Duck Hunt as well as a Light Zapper gun. This cartridge (no box case) came bundled with the majority of NES consoles.

Nintendo's own sequel to Super Mario Bros. was released in Japan as Super Mario Bros. 2 (aka 'The Lost Levels' as its known in the US) in 1986. However, because of that game's difficulty and its close similarity to the original game, Nintendo decided not to release it in the United States.

The classic was brought to the hand held market in 2004, in this Game Boy Advance re-make.

The 1985 classic made its re-appearance on the Wii's Virtual Console in 2006.

This classic NES title was re-released in 2007 for the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console.

The Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2 was never released on the NES outside of Japan. It did however appear as a re-make in 'Super Mario All-Stars' on the SNES.

The original version in all its classic glory was finally made available in 2007 on the Wii's Virtual Console. ... (more)
