Synopsis[]
Do you have what it takes to save the Mushroom Princess? You'll have to think fast and move even faster to complete this quest! The Mushroom Princess is being held captive by the evil Koopa tribe of turtles. It's up to you to rescue her from the clutches of the Koopa King before time runs out. But it won't be easy. To get to the Princess, you'll have to climb mountains, cross seas, avoid bottomless pits, fight off turtle soldiers and a host of black magic traps that only a Koopa King can devise. It's another non-stop adventure from the Super Mario Bros.!

Alternate versions[]
In 1986, there was an alternate version available for the arcade. It is called "Vs. Super Mario Bros." It has stages switched in a different order and some from the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2. Another was "All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros." This game also had graphics from the Japanese SMB2, except the Goombas, Toad and Piranha Plants were completely different.
Combination cartridges[]
Throughout the years, the 1988 re-release with Duck Hunt in a 2-in-1 cartridge was the most common seen on NES bundles. However, the Zapper Light Gun is required for Duck Hunt. There was also a 3-in-1 cartridge with both games and another called World Class Track Meet from 1990. That game required the NES Power Pad.
