Super Mario Bros. Print World is a Mario-themed printing program for home computers, allowing the player to print out artwork of various characters and elements from Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Land. It was developed by Hi Tech Expressions and released in the United States in 1991 for IBM and Tandy compatibles, as well as the Commodore 64 and Apple II. The title was only released in the United States; the MS-DOS version retailed for $19.99 and the Commodore 64 version retailed for $14.99.
Super Mario Bros. Print World is not a game, but a publishing application, with templates to make greeting cards, signs, posters, banners, and calendars, with a user guide on how to operate. The title is based on another Hi Tech Expressions title, Power Print, and has several variants based on themes other than Mario, including the NFL, Jim Henson's Muppets, The Addams Family, and Looney Tunes.

Trivia
- Super Mario Bros. Print World is rife with errors and inconsistencies on the included graphics and their labels.
- The image of the 1-Up Mushroom as seen in Super Mario Bros. 2 depicts it as yellow with black text, not red with white text.
- Most objects and surfaces that are supposed to be blue actually appear purple.
- Bowser's image depicts him as "King Koopa," his version from the DIC cartoons The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! and The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, rather than his design from the games which would match most of the other artworks. It also does not follow the proper coloring for even that version's design - having red spikes and crown tips plus a purple wristband, and his lower lip is red.
- The image labeled "Cheep Cheep" does not depict a regular Cheep Cheep, but three Spiny Cheep Cheeps. It also shows them in three colors, when only one color of them exists.
- In the "Mario and Buzzybeetle" image, the Buzzybeetle's shell is red, not the proper blue.
- The Koopa Paratroopa's artwork depicts its shell with the colors of the joining bridge and plaston reversed.
- The Marine Pop from Super Mario Land is blue, not the proper yellow.
- A drawing of Princess Toadstool, Toad, and Luigi as seen in the Super Mario Bros. 3 Japanese boxart is labeled as "Mario & Daisy".
- In the "Mario Bowling" artwork, Mario is really playing with snowballs, not bowling balls.
- An image of Mario from Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race is labeled "Mario in Helmet," even though Mario is not wearing a helmet in that artwork.
- Mouser's gloves, shoes, and the inside of his ears are miscolored; they are actually supposed to be pink.
- The image of Nipper Plants instead labels these enemies as Munchers.
- The colors on the Para-Beetle's head and the lining of its shell are reversed.
- Princess Daisy's artwork depicts her with Princess Toadstool's colors, not her proper colors as seen in the original art from Super Mario Land.
- Princess Toadstool uses colors based on those of her Super Mario Bros. 2 artworks, even though color models closer to what would ultimately become standard for her had already appeared in artwork. Additionally, an image of her pulling up a vegetable depicts the vegetable as pink with white leaves.
- One of the two images of Roy Koopa misnames him as "Ray Koopa"; however, the other uses the correct name for him.
- The Spiny's image depicts it as green. Though green Spiny eggs do exist in Super Mario Bros. 3, fully hatched Spinies never appear with that color in-game.
- Wendy O. Koopa, a Boomerang Brother, and the transformed Sea Side King appear on the boxart, but are absent from the graphics included in the program itself.
