Super Mario Bros. was an influential and groundbreaking game created by Nintendo and released on the NES. This was his first full platformer adventure. There were a total of eight worlds which were made up of four levels, which the player would make Mario jump and run through to get to the end. There were various obstacles including now-well-known enemies like the Koopa Troopas, Goombas and Piranha Plants, and large gaps which the player had to find specific ways to jump over.
There were many secrets to find throughout the game including warp zones, secret 1-UP blocks and bonus areas. These were very well located in unorthodox places, like in world 1-1, where the player can find the first secret 1-UP block located about 5 block spaces away from the last pipe just before the small drop.
This game usually lasts about 3 hours for complete gameplay, without the use of Warp Zones, but it is easily completable in around 10 minutes with the warps.
There were only three power-ups in the game: The Super Mushroom, which could only be found as mini Mario, caused Mario to grow; the Fire Flower, which could only be found as regular Mario, gave Mario the ability to shoot fireballs; and the Super Star, which gave Mario temporary invincibility-contact with enemies resulted in the enemy being defeated. If a player was hit while being Super Mario or Fire Mario, they would return to Mini Mario. If one was hit by an enemy while being Mini Mario, they would lose a life.
The ending was probably the most memorable, since it is the main ending and storyline used for most of the Mario games after this one:
1) Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach.
2) Mario must roam the Mushroom Kingdom and defeat Bowser for the last time.
3) Mario saves Peach and gets a kiss.
