Editing Mario Bros. (Game & Watch)

'''''Mario Bros.''''' is a title for the [[Game & Watch]]. Despite its name, it has no similarity to the [[Mario Bros. (game)|arcade game of the same name]]. Instead of plumbing, [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] are working at a bottling plant and must prepare packages of bottles to load onto a delivery truck of a waiting [[driver]]. This game, played on the Multi Screen model of the Game & Watch, was released on March 14, 1983<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20221128001046/http://www.intheattic.co.uk/mario_bros_.htm ''Mario Bros.'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref>—three months before the much more popular arcade title, making this the first game to feature Luigi.

Mario must first take a pallet out of the machine on the lowest level and place it on the lowest of five [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belt]]s running in alternating directions. A bottle is placed on the pallet as it passes through the divider between the screens and continues on until it reaches the end of the conveyor belt. Here, Luigi must take the package and place it on the above conveyor belt, which takes it back to Mario, who sends it back to Luigi on the next conveyor belt. Luigi sends it back again, and Mario has to put it on the highest conveyor belt, where it is sealed while passing through the column. Luigi then throws the sealed package onto the delivery truck, which eventually gets filled up and leaves, giving Mario and Luigi a brief break until it returns empty. The player earns a [[point]] for every pallet moved to another conveyor belt and for every package thrown onto the truck. They earn ten points after every time the truck is fully loaded with eight packages. The conveyor belts get faster and the number of pallets on the screen increases as time goes by, forcing Mario and Luigi to scramble up and down the [[ladder]]s in order to prevent the packages from falling off the ends of the belts. Each time a pallet or package falls off, the Mario Bros. get yelled at by their foreman, giving the player a miss. If the player manages to score 300 points without a single miss, the points that are earned will be doubled until the player does get a miss. If the player earns a miss before scoring 300 points, all misses will be cleared instead. After three misses, the player receives a [[Game Over]].

*[[Mr. Game & Watch]]'s forward air attack in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]] prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' involves swinging a package, much as Mario and Luigi do in this game. Additionally, Mr. Game & Watch's down [[taunt]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' / ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' is based on Mario and Luigi's animation after finishing a level.
