How Many Ports of Super Mario Bros. (1985) Exist? - Super Mario Bros. Release History

There are few video games as well known and beloved as Super Mario Bros. Not only did it change the history of video games forever, it spawned the entire Super Mario franchise that is still going strong to this day. As one of the most popular and important games of all time, it's also one of the most rereleased. Since its release in 1985, the game has been available on countless devices, officially and unofficially. Today, we'll be taking a look at them!
Super Mario Bros. has been released and remade no fewer than 30 times including releases for the NES, the Famicom Disk System, PCs, the GameBoy Color/Advance, the Wii, and more! It's also seen various retoolings such as one based off of a Japanese radio show and some arcade editions as well! Along with that, there are even many bootleg and unlicensed ports of the game, such as Sonic Jam 6 for the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive! If any of this sounds interesting, learn all about those and more rereleases of Super Mario Bros. in this video!

I will never forget my mom's description of the game to a toystore clerk. When I turned 6 I got the game for my birthday, but because my mother didn't trust herself to get the right game, she took me to the store and check what to buy. Neither of us knew the game's title because she didn't know anything about games and I couldn't read yet. So my mom asked if they have the "jumpy guy's game" and the clerk immediately knowing what we meant. I don't know why, but it's one of those random memories that stuck. ^^'

Anyone heard of Super Luigi Brothers? Evidently it somewhere that one exists I played it once on something probably Windows weird consoles that are sold at Christmas. Curtis Ward that one also had the Atari version of Mario Brothers not super of course. Oh and yeah there was a bootleg for the Atari as well that was actually on the cartridge cease and desist of course was Nintendo's response. However speaking of Atari. Atari had at one time released versions of their 2600 games. For IBM PC and XT not sure if it was both but I think it was. Also I don't know what version it was but I know it was not Super Mario Brothers special for sure. Had this before I actually got the Nintendo! But it was a IBM doors version of Super Mario Brothers. It was fairly faithful to the original Super Mario Bros. It was played by a keyboard though! Think I got it for either Christmas or birthday 1 year??? But don't remember the title but it looks nothing like Super Mario special which I have played before somewhere somehow. Don't know if it wasn't official release or not but from what I've heard from others there was a Dos Port of the game. Again I don't know if Listen official one or not but possibly???? Also interesting enough there is something interesting in Windows I don't know if this is some sort of add-on or what or Easter egg I can't remember long time! It wasn't really a game say but you could be Mario and jumping around your desktop screen in Windows don't remember which version of Windows it was. 3.1 or later??? There were a few questions boxes and sausage or variant of. With the Vine that's the one I really remember! Also there was one of those self-contained plug-and-play systems I had once. There was actually a version of Super Mario Bros on there. Seem like combination of different versions mainly Super Mario Brothers 2 Super Mario Bros 1 and one more plus some parts that were never in a Mario Brothers game. Also there is a few enemies that were not in Mario Brothers games. But look very very close to Pokemon at least a few of them! Has anyone ever heard about the telenet Star Wars movie in ASCII characters thought I threw out that

[@CIubDuck]

It's much more likely that they just codeveloped the games. They came out at pretty much exactly the same time as you said, and was therefore very likely developed at the same time. Therefore they didn't take any levels from the other game, they designed both games to share the same levels.

IIRC it wasn't really that they were more powerful, but that they had hardware specialized for games that weren't really found in home computers. In terms of raw CPU power, AFAIK home computers were king but that didn't mean much due to having to do everything in software; slowing everything down. The Amiga actually had hardware designed for games to take advantage of, and that computer was where computer gaming was *at* until IBM-compatibles caught up.

One of my favorite Mario ports is "Super Mario Bros. 64", not for the Nintendo 64, but the Commodore 64. Due to the similar hardware capabilities between the NES and Commodore 64, Super Mario Bros runs quite well on the system, and even better on the Commodore 128 since it has a 2MHz CPU mode (the NES CPU, a Japanese clone of the 6502 processor equipped to the Commodore 64/128, runs at 1.79MHz). If you can actually find the port after Nintendo tried to C&D it out of existence, it's a fun experience.

I hear you. I grew up in the US but we imported a Super Famicom when we visited the homeland 😂

[@rouletteyourlocalkitkat]

Hey PatMac, even though it’s just a match-3 game, you won’t believe how many ports of Bejeweled 2 there are. There is SO many ports of what I consider the best match 3 game of all time.

As a Super Mario Bros. collector, I really loved this video, I was hoping someone made this video someday! I didn't know about the Famicombox one or the Syndrome one. Keep up the great work! I think the only version missing was the Nintendo Mini Classics from 98' (which is licensed and similar to the G&W anyways) and the Nelsonic Watch version.

[@TinoTheFox]

Ah, the part where you discuss Vs. Super Mario Bros. brings back memories for me. There is this brewery/pizza place my family sometimes goes to in San Clemente, and they have a tiny arcade there. It's mostly unremarkable stuff, but as late as 2013/2014, they had a Vs. Super Mario Bros. cabinet there, and I remember playing it years ago. Sadly, it must've broken at some point, because I recently found out they replaced it with a tabletop Pac-Man machine. Fairly interesting, but it's still no Vs. Super Mario Bros. :-(

[@mlivehd7552]

Super Mario Bros Deluxe was my very first exposure to the original Super Mario Bros. It was actually mom's game I think but I played it almost as much as she did.

It's pronounced "Super Mario BROTHERS." And yes, I can prove it.

[@RWL2012]

yep, the "." at the end means that it's an abbreviated word, and I don't think anyone said "BROs" in the 80s

[@doctorbob6791]

The ultimate proof is that at the beginning of the Game Boy Advance version of each game, , Mario himself announced, "Super Mario BROTHERS."

[@RainingMetal]

I grew up with the All Stars version of Super Mario Bros, so I'm always heartbroken to see that version of SMB1 to be hard to come by. I bought the Wii compilation just to be able to play the 16-bit SMB1 again (and SMB2, I already managed to get Super Mario Bros Advance 4: Super Mario Bros 3).

[@basic9387]

I doubt you’ll see this, but would you consider doing a video on the merchandise from the now defunct Pokemon Center store in New York City? Nearly all of their plush items are now extremely rare, and it’d be great to hear some more information about them!

[@PatMacYT]

I actually have a script about the history of Nintendo World/Nintendo NY/Pokemon Center NYC pretty much done, but I shelved it awhile ago and never continued to work on it. I've gone to the Nintendo store so many times, never when it was Pokemon unfortunately, but it means a lot to me so I would love eventually finish that and make a video about the whole thing including where it is today. I can't wait to go sometime again in the future!

[@joelwrose]

I actually played the game in an arcade in the US around 1986. This was roughly around the time the NES got its national release. After playing it, the NES went to the top of my Xmas list.

[@owenwexler7214]

Wait, the SMB/Duck Hunt combo didn’t come out until *1988*? I always thought that combo was a launch release. Holy Mandela Effect, Batman!

One note about SMB Deluxe, the "Lost Levels" part of the game doesn't have the extra bounce Mario gets from jumping on enemies in SMB2/Lost Levels, so it's tough to beat 7-2 with Mario.

[@dread_trap]

24:47 “…now try again” killed me. Btw, 25:58, if you’re curious, the first game says: “mario 3 around the world”, the game on the right says: “mario 4 space odyssey”, and both box arts have “Russian version” written at the bottom

19:43 "This edition of the game was a port with no additional features, as it was made to be just like the NES cartridge." Except for the shortened sprites. Mario looks like a cartoon character who got their head bashed in.

How could you actually not mention the c64 port, it was almost an exact pixel perfect port done by 1 person, a billion times more interesting than sonic 6.
