NES port it's alright, but inferior to Arcade's. Graphics are worse, there are no cutscenes explaining enemies' patterns, and they added another possible jump trajectory if you press it in a specific time during Mario physics, so if you are used to Arcade version, you will have some trouble with this.
Like og Donkey Kong, it's inferior to the arcade original one. It's alright to discover it for historical purposes. Consider the game beat after stage 8.
I like this game, just not this port of Mario Bros. The reason why I dislike this version of Mario Bros is because of how clunky the movement feels. The movement is extremely slippery which makes it feel terrible. The movement even hinders you when you want to attack an enemy or collecting coins in the bonus levels.
The port on Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga is wayyy better imo.

It's funny how Mario looks more like Sewer Water in Super Mario Bros than in this game.
holy ass cheeks. Cant play this for more than 2 minutes, i quit lol. Was tied in a collection with Superstar Saga
I'm still not sure how this became a whole franchise. I guess getting Super helped.
Crazy how this spawned one of gaming's most iconic franchises given how meh its first entry was.
fun with someone else probably
Was pretty fun up until the crabs : (
Played on a whim and had a good amount of fun with! I just did 23 phases since I read up that the game only had about 22 unique ones throughout, and it was cool seeing Mario's first debut kicking Koopas to the curb in the sewers. I know people don't like the fact you can't change direction midjump in this game, which was definitely due to this being one of their first games, but I personally like the challenge. It makes having to time your jumps a lot more tougher but rewarding as well, giving the game more of a skill ceiling and pushing you to improve. It was also cool seeing how the Mario Bros. stage in Smash references this one to the letter, I have more respect for it now (even if I still don't like it in that game). All in all a fun short time.
I'm surprised at how enjoyable the core concept of this game is, and I wasn't as bothered by the controls as most people were.
A nice concept for an arcade game, pretty groundbreaking for its time but not that memorable nowadays.
Jeu dans le quel on peux sauter pour avoir des pièces (un peu comme les juifs tien ^^)
Just a very slightly worse version of the arcade release, but still perfectly acceptable as a port, especially compared to something like the NES DK. It's kind of interesting to note a lot of the more iconic sound effects came from this version rather than the original arcade release.

MARIO STOP GETTING GREASE ON YOUR SHOES
Just simple fun. Everyone says that the arcade version is better. I never played it, but I agree.
miracle that this game sprouted such a succesful franchise this game isnt very good lol
In solo mode, the game can be repetitve since it's the exact same level display, but with different enemies. The fireball can be annoying if you aren't fast enough. However, the game can be fun in 2 players. You can play it in coop to reach the farthest level, or you can play competitively, which make the game way more fun since you try to screw your friend over.
Game #7 of my challenge

As an arcade game, your only goal is to be fun. This one is pretty fun but some of the physics feel extremely jank, even for the time.
Mario Bros. is an interesting arcade game and important to video game history, but has little staying power today.
It's not a particularly substantial arcade game and it's pretty stiff to control, but I like the general mechanics. There are way worse arcade games out there.
It's simple fun, straight to the action, but you need to unplug the "Mario" part of your brain. Most people I played with took a bit of time to figure out you're not supposed to jump on the enemy, but under them.
Stiff controls and limited appeal. The GBA version is better.
Played on the Yoshi's Island GBA cartridge
The same not very good arcade game, but with worse graphics. Literally one of the last games I would want to play on my Nes
this shit is ass
Honestly, was clunky and not good for the few times I tried it, but when I played the multiplayer last year, it was surprisingly enjoyable!
Countless hours spent with this one. The characters feel very slippery at all times.
An acceptable arcade port of a very primitive arcade game at that. Simple, repetitive, and very slippery. Maybe I'm too zoomer-brained to get anything out of this in 2024, but it's cool to see the origin of so many iconic Mario elements.
