'''''Super Mario Bros. Special''''' (Japanese: スーパーマリオブラザーズ スペシャル, ''Sūpā Mario Burazāzu Supesharu'') is a platform game that was developed by [[Hudson Soft]] and released in 1986 for the [[NEC PC-88|PC-8801]] and Sharp X1 series of Japanese computers, and later for the Samsung SPC-1500<ref name=Lost>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200409192745/hg101.proboards.com/thread/6968/hudson-mario-trilogy?page=2&scrollTo=173288 Hardcore Gaming 101 ProBoards - Hudson Mario Trilogy]</ref> in South Korea. ''Super Mario Bros. Special'' was the second [[Nintendo]]-licensed follow-up to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', released around two months after ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''.<ref>http://nintendoera.com/discussing-hudsons-mario-games-with-native-japanese-speaker-bando/</ref> Two years prior, Hudson Soft had released ''[[Punch Ball Mario Bros.]]'' and ''[[Mario Bros. Special]]'', which were both based on the original ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]''

[[Jump]]ing and [[dash]]ing physics also differ from the original [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]], providing a more challenging experience than ''Super Mario Bros.'' Adding difficulty is the fact that the [[Time Limit|stage time]] is slightly faster than in the original NES game. [[Mario]]'s [[Hammer]] from ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]'' makes a reappearance as a rare item, alongside a variety of past foes from earlier arcade ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' titles and new exclusive [[List of items|items]].
