There were actyually two versions for the NES, the second being called "Mario Bros. Classic", released in 1993. It added a few things. I remeber one of them was the animation of the turtle kicking the shell to flip it up.

[@haydnplus]

We had household high score challenges on the 2600 port (variation 3 no fireball) and I loved the Dave Sharpless DOS port. He also did Joust VGA

[@lvbees6128]

Complaining about the sounds of the DOS version? Please remember that it was free for the single player version.

[@robertvelasquez823]

I did not even know there was an MS DOS version of Mario Bros. You learn something new every day.

If you ever revisit this, please consider adding the FDS version, and the Europe NES version. Both are different, and the Europe release is as close to arcade-perfect as we ever saw, in a home version.

[@DerickFabro]

There is another version for Commodore 64 by ocean and nintendo

[@lordevyl8317]

The Ocean version sucked. The graphics and sounds were far worse Even the scores on Lemon64 rate the Atarisoft version higher Now Ocean DID do the better version of Donkey Kong, but they dropped the ball with Mario

[@MrKrickitt1]

That last one scared the crap out of me. It literally looks like a Mario game that got turned into a horror movie.

[@darktetsuya]

actually that was from an ad for the original home versions of Mario Bros. (mainly the pre-NES versions on atari, etc.)

[@mackl3m0r3]

9:08 it seems that the Atari 7800 version was the first to give Mario a red cap!

[@jackwinsper874]

Actually, it was the nes one. these aren't listed in order.

[@FusionCyborg]

Actually, it was Donkey Kong in the Arcades.

[@littleman7514]

Donkey Kong isn't Mario Bros. though.

[@fursmut]

Surprisingly nice sprite/animation work on the ZX Spectrum one.

[@satan3959]

There's actually TWO official ports of Mario on the C64. The other port was done by Ocean. However, the version featured in this video is the superior version in all aspects. Which was kind of disappointing since ocean did the superior port of Donkey Kong

[@wingnut4427]

@dreamcastII thank you :) I'm glad that You enjoy them. I'll be looking to make more in the near future but for now I'm so swamped by My job that I just don't have the time to really crank any out. :(

[@michaelsegal3558]

It’s just unfortunate that they couldn’t make one that had the good sound effects from the Mario Advance 2 3 & 4 versions and the good music from the Mario Advance 1 and Superstar Saga versions

[@basicallysnake]

7800's sprites are mario's donkey kong sprites, also the origin of the NES shellcreeper

[@saigokun]

Thanks for posting this. There was also a version for the MSX, it was released by the South Korean software house Zemina, and was not a particularly good version.

[@RandomTwat]

Excluding the GBA version, the Arcade might be the best looking version while the NES is the best sounding version of Mario Bros

[@preservationera9768]

On Mario Bros. Special at the end, it doesn't really look as bad as shown. If you're using M88 (this may apply to other emulators as well), you'll need to go to a bar near the top of the screen on the emulator part and select your display option, which will fix the palette. It's also not supposed to play as slow, not sure what's up with that. MBS was also released on the Sharp X1, FM-7, and the PC-6601 (the 88's predecessor). The X1 version plays the best, with much smoother movement and better sound. You forgot the Famicom Disk System's Kaettekita Mario Bros., which was somewhat closer to the arcade version and allowed you to change direction in mid-air, and the European exclusive Mario Bros. Classic Series, which was the closest port to the arcade version and was also the only port to have certain arcade features, such as the cutscenes that play whenever a new enemy is introduced.

[@SupremeNerd]

arcade, 7800, NES and the ColeoVision Homebrew (which wasnt featured in this video) are the ONLY versions you need to play for honorable mention the GBAdvance and 2600 versions (as far as gameplay)

[@hdofu]

no room for mario bros classic (europe rerelease of the nes version improved controls/cutscenes)? Theres also a famicom disk system game Kaettekita Mario Bros which features of all things animated commercials

[@handsomebrick]

In the Spectrum version Mario actually looks like a real plumber. The NEC-PC version reminds me of an old Spectrum game called Jumping Jack.

[@wingnut4427]

@ZombieRyushu It's called M88. After doing some tweaking I discovered that there are several settings that change it to other model versions. I also managed to tweak the sound to sound a bit better. I'll post a response video for Mario Bros with the improvements on the video & sound quality. I was kind of reluctant to mess with it since it was all in Japanese but I managed to pull it off.

[@loneshewolf74]

I would play Mario Bros. for hours on NES as a kid. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it didn't have the brothers' "burned" and "frozen" death animations when touched by fireballs or freezies from the arcade version.

[@WhirlwindKei1]

Ah good, you went with the Atari release on the C64, that's the decent one. Only thing really missing from that was the 'dink' you get when jumping under a platform. The version that Ocean (normally a reliable publisher) stunk the place out, it was terrible.

[@satan3959]

Which was disappointing since Ocean did the better port of Donkey Kong

[@michaelsegal3558]

You can even here that little ditty that plays at the start of each phase (except phase 1) sounds better in the Mario Advance 1 and Superstar Saga versions that in the Mario Advance 2, 3 or 4 versions if you have both versions compare them if you listen carefully you will hear that in the Mario Advance 2, 3 & 4 versions it will sound choppy where as in the Mario Advance 1 and Superstar Saga versions it will sound nice and smooth and more true to the original NES version

[@celinesenden4142]

The arcade version is amazing and the atari 5200 version is amazing 😍👍

A LOT of old late 70s and early 80s arcade games were like that though.

[@shootingstar7101]

GBA version is basically _the_ way to play Mario Bros. Far superior controls and graphics, and better audio + music during actual gameplay. Mario's moveset is also extended in that you can hold down to charge up a high jump and lift POW blocks by pushing B while standing on them.

There was a later C64 release done by Ocean, that was closer to the arcade version.

[@tetsujin_144]

Well, how do you acquire the licensing rights to anything? Find the rights holder, negotiate a deal, and pay them. For a TV show theme song that was already 30 years old at that point, it probably wasn't a very difficult negotiation.

Your Mame audio sounded screwed up, and whatever that PC-88 thing was looked like a Hong Kong Pirate.

@wingnut4427 Nope that's the original NES release. There was as second European one based on the Japanese re-release. This one was called Mario Bros CLASSIC. It had better graphics and the intro for the characters. You can find the ROM online, or I could mail it to you. It must be really rare, as I have not seen much about it and Nintendo themselves never put it out for download.

[@AlucardsQuest]

Believe it or not though, Mario Bros. on the Atari 2600 played well, and was fun.

[@wingnut4427]

@ZombieRyushu figured it out. Camtasia wasn't set correctly & recorded the sound too loud to it created a rustling sound. The PC 88 has never worked correctly for me for some reason. But I haven't really looked into it. I may take some time to play with the settings but if memory serves me correct I believe it was in Japanese. :(
