Mario Bros.

released on Jul 14, 1983

Mario Bros. is an arcade game published by Nintendo and developed by Shigeru Miyamoto. The platform puzzle which first introduced Luigi to the world has both single and multiplayer action with two differing game types, but with the same objective. Crabs, turtles and fighter flies must be cleared out by jumping underneath the platform they sit on, then kicking them away. Each level is cleared when a set number of coins is collected. For the two player mode, the first to collect the set amount of coins wins.

Is charming but a bit repetitive, it controls fine tho

What poses as pretty much the prototype of the Super Mario franchise is quite fun at its very core. An infinitely replayable endless platformer that tasks you with getting rid of "pests" that emerge from the pipes, every few rounds switching it up and adding new mechanics whilst increasing the difficulty.
It's a little bit fun for a couple of moments, the main problem with it is the controls being wayyyyy to stiff (in line with Donkey Kong's) and there wasn't a clear direction of what to do with the brothers just yet, since nearly all of the enemies here didn't stay for the rest of the franchise either with the exception of the crabs or the Shellcreeper being a prototype Koopa Troopa.

It also doesn't help that literally any other version of this game is better than this one.

the sound of Mario's footsteps are as slippery and disgusting as he feels to control

passei umas raiva boa / nao tem o que falar desse jogo lindo ne

Good to play with your friends... in the 80's

Played at The Operating Room arcade (I think?) in Des Moines, Iowa. It's a fun game, but due to the antiquated controls, I'd rather stick with the Mario Bros. Classic version on Game Boy Advance.
