Mario Bros. is an Arcade Game Made by Nintendo in 1983. Also released on the NES, it contained the first appearance of Luigi, and was the first installment in the Mario Bros. series. It would seem that it was the prequel to Super Mario Bros., because of how Mario and Luigi find a pipe to the Mushroom Kingdom at the end of the game.
A newer version of Mario Bros. appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3's Two Player mode. More recently, in the Super Mario Advance series and the RPG game Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Mario Bros. was included as a seperate mini-game, playing like the original game with updated graphics. There was also an added two- to four-player battle mode meaning that other players could join your game through the use of a GBA link cable. Also in those games the Shellcreepers were replaced by Spinies.
Enemies
