Super Mario Bros. is a video game produced by Nintendo in 1985. Universally considered a classic of the medium, Super Mario Bros. was one of the first side-scrolling platform games of its kind, introducing players to huge, bright, expansive worlds that changed the way video games were created. Super Mario Bros. is one of the best-selling games (possibly the best-selling game, depending on estimates) of all time, and was largely responsible for the initial success of the Famicom and Nintendo Entertainment System. It has inspired countless imitators (eventually founding an entire genre) and was one of Shigeru Miyamoto's most influential early successes. It also brought Mario, who would later go on to become Nintendo's mascot and more recognizable among American children than Mickey Mouse, to prominence.
