I remember seeing this arcade game for the first time in an old run down gas station in the middle of nowhere, circa 1987. I was very familiar with SMB on NES, but had no idea what this was. It was old and beat up. "Hmm, must be before Mario became Super." Put a quarter in, go to jump on a koopa trooper and I immediately die. "Must be something wrong. Oh well." I go to jump on another turtle and die again. Now I'm on my final life, so I hit the POW block but all it does is kill everything on the screen. Then a fireball hits me. I walked away from that game feeling confused and angry. I tried to explain to my friends about this bizarre arcade Mario, but nobody believed me. Then SMB3 comes out and everyone believes me, three years later.

[@retrosutra]

The same happened to me, I played SMB on the NES and discovering the arcade version after that feels weird when you play arcade for the first time. Thank for your comment!

A number of these ports were made by Nindento (and Ocean) to make the systems look bad. Now the ZX Spectrum was dated but the Atari 8-bit family ran similar hardware to the NES yet the made the game look sub-par to defame Atari. The Com 64 could of ran the game as well. So bad game ports in order tgo make one system look good is not a modern era ill-standard.

I've played the version in the _Super Mario Advance_ series as well as the NES/Famicom and Atari 2600 ports of the game. The version in _Super Mario Advance_ modernizes the game in a way that wouldn't have seemed at all out of place in _Super Mario All-Stars_ on the Super NES, but the NES/Famicom port is still worth playing. Now, if Nintendo were to re-release the 1993 European-exclusive NES version, that'd be the best version to play being arguably better than its arcade counterpart.

Luigi is my favorite character

I always get a laugh out of atari 2600 ports. The fact that im watching this being 14 in 2020 makes me question myself.

[@bjbell52]

You do realize that the 2600 was the first successful video console, right? It came out in the mid 1970's. Compared to a system that came out in the 1990's, of course it doesn't even come close. It's nice to see these comparisons but a little perspective helps.

[@detectiveblutomindpretzel6292]

@@bjbell52 Oh I know, in the 70s the 2600 was damn impressive, especially the fact that it was played AT HOME, which was a big deal at that point.

[@Wesstuntube]

Haha I grew up on the 2600. Thing is, before I got a 2600, I had been to arcades and played most of these games already, so we (my Dad was stoked to get one too) had expectations that we'd be able to play those games at home. Uh . . . yeah kinda. I was one of the millions of kids who wondered why Pac-Man looked like ASS when I got it. Every other arcade port was a huge disappointment too - I literally stopped playing games except at the arcade and kinda forgot about them until a friend got a NES. The video game crash was real. When games are as bad as Atari 2600 Mario Bros, it's a lot easier to realize that playing outside is more fun.

I couldn't get a copy of Mario Bros. & wound up buying Centipede instead for my Atari 2600 a long time ago.

Well then... you were born in 2006?

in commodore ocean mode i love that intro

[@vektravision]

Something about the Atari 7800's sound chip makes its port sound so... raw and edgy. I don't know why, but that's why it has remained one of my favorite ports to this day.

[@DocNintendo]

2:17 that ATARI 5200 looks sounds and plays terrible. The system was only good for hiding beer bottles.

It's sad how there wasn't the Game & Watch version of Mario Bros featured in the vid. It would've been perfect (considering footage is provided by someone else because G+Ws are *expensive!* )

[@reillywalker195]

It's a very different game. The premise and gameplay are totally different.

[@chamtheman551]

@@reillywalker195 Yeah. Normally, Mario and Luigi would be doing some sort of plumbing action. But in the Game & Watch version they work at a drinks manufacturing factory.

On the Apple II version, the last phase of the Shellcreeper makes it look just like a Squirtle--exact colors.

[@Cornfiglep]

0:49 is this the earliest that Mario's been close to his modern color pallet?

[@retrojamm07]

You didnt add Luigi Bros.
