This series refers to Nintendo Entertainment System ports of arcade games that were popular back in the 1980s. There are four ports belonging to Mario and Donkey Kong series of games. Unlike the arcade originals, these ports have two difficulty settings, A (beginner) and B (expert). These games were released separately in Japan but grouped as a series when released abroad in 1986.
