[@dann1023]

This was my first NES game. Awesome stuff, CGR!

[@ClassicGamerReviews]

This is as classic as it gets

[@FrequencyAdjusterz]

It's no classic game room review without mark having a game over at the end!

[@sendylie1774]

I still remember the time when those turtles (they were different from Koopas) cannot be stomped...

[@arcaderkid8449]

the arcade's now adays, had the best quality in game graphics even though they were 8-bit renditions to the old atari!! it's still holds up though XD

[@puekawNEpuyrruh]

My favorite video game reviewer ! I hope one day he returns from Planet X .

[@rexthesheep]

To Mark and/or who ever edits these videos: When taking 60i footage and taking it down to 30p, blend the frames so both are there. You'll get some motion blur, but it'll allow the deinterlaced footage to look at least somewhat similar to the interlaced footage. Not that skating Mario isn't fun to watch.

[@MediocreChief]

The El Camino just made my day. Aw yes.

[@FortuneInLies]

Seems really hard to get an el camino into space!

[@CaptainLumpyDog]

Sarahsaurus Rawr If you only believe and clap your hands...

[@MrTrancedsailor]

I remember playing this arcade game at my dentist in the late 80's or maybe it was VERY early 90s.

[@TeddXplosion]

The new CGR set is AMAZING!

[@ksanchez3286]

We all need more CGR... EDF EDF EDF ...

[@charlessoto7]

Nintendo has kept this game alive by having it as a bonus on some of their first party Mario (and Yoshi) titled GBA carts. Cool game. Simple yet addictive formula. Awesome El Camino btw. Mark be livin it up. I see ya, pimpin!

[@wrathi]

I have original Mario Bros EEC cartridge here. Still works like a charm on my NES.

[@V3RYG00D]

Dude I used to play this on my Atari 2600 also. Couldn't believe it!! Totally got past level 99. Without the fireballs of course. Just saying. Thanks for the review, Mark.

[@BiohazardEXTREME]

I loved this game. I also miss the days before Street Fighter, when adding "Super" to a title meant it was a completely different game, not a slightly augmented version of the previous game.

[@GinoBrand5]

I was just talking about this on the many systems (coleco version my favorite). Awesome elCamino by the way :)

[@16BitBrothers]

Awesome... So much nostalgia here, great review as always

[@Lightblue2222]

The coins look realistic in this game. So metallic. 1:35

[@Bonzardo]

I used to have so much fun with the GBA version of this. Never really got into the NES version after that.

[@MaXXimumGamer31]

The El Camino looks awesome in the new Intergalactic Space Arcade!

[@aerodynamicpunk4399]

My dad owns the original Arcade cabinet. Whenever I visit him, I'd play the sh*t outta it.

[@CastleMinerFTW]

3:30 thanks to those tips, not only did i make it past the first phase, i made it to phase 10! :)

[@Captainclueless09]

This was the reason I bought my NES, and it also got me interested in game collecting!

[@hdofu]

I'm so glad they revised this game in 93, I wish it had came state side though.

[@UNDFTDGordon]

You've done it again!

[@BeauSkunk]

I want a 3DS online remake of this game personally along the lines of the "Super Mario Advance" one, but with new levels, enemies, and VS mode stuff.

[@SteakKnife69]

I love how he holds the Mic like a mug

[@BeyondJustGames]

I'm ready for a tour of the new and improved intergalactic space arcade.

[@jcchaconjr]

This was the first VC game I bought on the Wii as soon as it became available. :)

[@HerecomestheCalavera]

Love the arcade and the El Camino, you have a nice setup there!

[@rexthesheep]

Well if we're getting that far into it... That said, there's just something about a blurry direct capture that just makes a classic game video feel more legit than emulation footage.

[@thepokekid01]

Super Mario Brothers 3 has Mario Brothers in it! It'd be kind of sweet to see competitive Mario Brothers mini games happen between levels in current Mario games again like New Super Mario or 3D world.

[@Ronnie06spartan]

I've always loved playing it in 2-player mode in Super Mario Bros 3 from Super Mario All Stars on the SNES lol

[@DarkskullXL]

the GBA version of this game that came on nearly every mario game is the best version of this game, used to play it a lot

[@gabbogabbo]

Probably my 3rd favorite Mario game!

[@tedboggs4569]

As someone who started out on the 5200, I always found the 2600 joystick to be stiff and hard to use. I probably went through 20 5200 joysticks as a kid, so clearly it was a disaster, but when it worked, I really liked it.

[@0smundSaddler]

This game was very fun in both Super Mario Brothers 3 and Super Mario Bros Advance

[@adandelgado4069]

The OG of OGs!

[@magnus87]

El camino is the only vehicle authorized to travel between Earth and The Intergalactic Space Arcade

[@Mr_x_19922]

1983... nine years before i even exist!

[@KyleFarsante]

Oh god! You did it! You finally did it! YEAH!

[@skrtcobainn]

Hey CGR, i'd love to see an OUYA review from you guys!

[@pirosoffaireyes]

Holy shit man, congrats!!! I wonder Mark, are you really making a living out of this? You deserve it man, all the giggles and laughs i get from watching this show. XD

[@James14OO]

I'm sure this was on one of the GBA games I had while growing up. I played it quite a lot too

[@CornishCreamtea07]

Mark is pretty good at this

[@sissylalagamer]

I loved doing this against a friend on... Mario 3? I'm not sure which one. The only where when it was your turn you could choose to go to where your friend was and battle him Mario Bro style.

[@jamesrbrindle]

Truly an awesome game

[@ChrisSmith-1983]

I want that arcade!!

[@oscardavidd7036]

I used to be too much good at playing this game but over a period of time I forgot it

[@Kittenfox_55]

I grew up with the one's on the Super Mario advanced series, that version there had backgrounds and two pow blocks.

[@damightybenstein]

BMO Not to mention the GBA version(s) of the game were much better than the NES version as far as controls were concerned.

[@TheGhettoPhilosopher]

LOL you forgot the double tap. lol damn crabs

[@jtomally9681]

This is my most favorite version of this game.

[@vxidastronaut]

I love Mario Clash the spiritual follow up to this, sadly only on the VirtualBoy, and hopefully someday on the WiiO(cculus)'s virtual console.

[@thepokekid01]

Have you ever played Super Mario Brothers 3 with multiplayer? When it's one player's turn they can land on the same place as another player and it enters them in a minigame that IS Mario Brothers with slightly better graphics, and they compete for stealing each other's power-ups or the ability to play a level. It was extremely cool, I hope they bring something similar back! (I've also played this or the Mario Bros on NES, Arcade, Atari, GB and VC)

[@MrFlashXs]

Man I had Yoshi's Island on the gba and this game was a blast on it :D

[@MikeRoePhonicsMusic]

Mark, what condenser mic do you use? The lows & low-mids sound nice on it.

[@menggala30071981]

aaaahhh....I remember those time with this #ancient #game

[@duketogo1300]

This should be included with all 3DS Mario games, just like they were doing with the Advance series.

[@EndUser2090]

its also a bonus level on Super Mario Bros. 3

[@dogeymon83]

I love this game in 1080p on the wii u!

[@JLBflix]

Omg look at the arcade!

[@wellplayod1957]

I play this on Super Mario Advance 2! It's so much fun!!!

[@supermariodanielprouductio5286]

I know right

[@koshmaster8874]

+SuperSmashDog The Graphics Are A Bit Better In Super Mario Advance Series... So I Do Play It On Mario Advance 1,2,&4

[@xyanide1986]

The best console version of this would be the polished version on GBA if you'd ask me. I think it was a bonus game on the Super Mario World cartidge.

[@PhillT1988]

I like to give people pleasant thoughts before they go to sleep at night

[@RetroClash95]

mark should do a tour of the new death star size intergalactic space arcade.

[@volginicity]

Wow!Is this some new game coming out?cant wait.

[@KVGerudo]

Thanks for the advice

[@LegoWaffles11]

Mark, have you played the newer ports of Mario Bros on the Super Mario Advance games on GBA?

[@claytonpanipinto]

i want a Tour video of the intergalactic Space Arcade!

[@sasuke55ish]

Good Times on this game i was playing on my gba

[@DelfisCorp]

I want Mario Clash in 3DS VC. A VB VC would be perfect.

[@Fortuna1]

The 2010 version is a bit more easy control, the enemies are more arcade like and has enemy presentation

[@EKTORF]

I loved the arcade version! It had better sounds.

[@WebVManReturns]

I think it's cool and all that they released Donkey Kong and DK Jr. in a Two Pack called Donkey Kong Classics, but I would have preferred that they have released Mario Bros./Donkey Kong, Mario Bros./Super Mario Bros., and DK Jr./DK Jr. Match/DK 3.

[@cyberjgv3]

OMG IT'S SUPER PAC-MAN IN THE BACKGROUND!!!

[@Barla90]

A Mitsubishi Sapporo would rock too!

[@leoviper]

1983! I was -2 years old...

[@Jamesthemaster0302]

I had this on the gameboy advanced, the chip also had super Mario bros 2

[@tarstarkusz]

The recently made Colecovision version is the best home version of this game.

[@XDLugia]

The guy who sendt this game is from Brooklyn? That is where Mario and Luigi live!

[@josephfrye7342]

oh my god somebody was kept using the koopa troppa sprites and purpoulsy thinking those fire flies and crabs spritwes are missing wellp that sucked

[@7EEVEE]

It's not hard to review, it's a game like any other. Plus, he mentioned that he would do a review of it in a video a while back.

[@akawhut]

I seriousely didnt know there was a Mario Bros game on NES besides in SMB3

[@Beansman-gp3ws]

The best way to play it is without a doubt the GBA version packaged in with the ports of the NES games (that are equally great)

[@retrofan4963]

I honestly prefer this game than Super Mario Bros as well.

[@csmith9746]

@ :47 ... and I'm the lonely guy in the other corner arguing for the Great Giana Sisters

[@moduniq95]

super mario bros 2/ mario bros combo all day for the game boy advanced

[@PatoCrioyo]

For a moment there I was confused. I thought you were holding a beer and the mic was awkwardly following your head around.

[@nomadikk]

Doesn't the NES version lack the icicles from the arcade that fall down? I think the only home version that had it was the Commodore 64.

[@richdziuba2801]

Yes, the NES doesn't have the icicles, nor do they have the invisible floors for the later "test your skill" levels

[@SnakeOfBacon]

so is the Mario and Luigi: SuperStar Saga version!

[@von2300]

Yes, can we?

[@juiceala]

The GBA version is my favorite

[@skrrt_kids8839]

You know what Mario Bros is missing spending the coins!

[@ClassicNintendoShow]

"Besides in SMB3". The "in" in that comment means he didn't know there was a Mario Bros. Arcade version game on NES besides the one in Super mario Bros. 3.

[@XxFILUPxX]

I use to play this all the time with my bri! XD gooood times C:

[@mr.actiongal1017]

Awesome video!

[@dave4shmups]

An awesome classic arcade game! And the NES version is the most accurate.

[@CanalGuy]

Well if that's how it is then on the 25th of September could I have a review of Manic Miner RPG Edition for the Wonderswan/Gamecom/Leapster

[@idonotloveofficial]

there was a pretty decent dos port too!

[@zrobeast]

*in slow motion* "NOOOOOOOOOO!" All jokes aside, Mario Bros. on the NES is actually pretty fun and a good port from a time before it became easy to emulate the original arcade game.
