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
@@aaronbrandenburg2441 The only Super Luigi Bros I know is the minigame that came with NES Remix 2 on the Wii U. It's the original Smb but all the levels are backwards and you play as Luigi.
Kimi, this one is different. This contest version comes with a challenge to get 50 coins and a golden cartridge which is in rare, never-been-seen condition, making it highly collectable.
My dad played the heck out of the Play Choice 10 version of Super Mario Bros. He once got through 6 playthroughs of the game on a single quarter, using all of the Warp Zones to speed run it. He was also the second person to send in a 1 million point high score to Nintendo Power, but there was only 1 prize for the first person.
To compensate for that they changed the physics so you could have more control of your movement after jumps. No one ever mentions that but I swear it's true.
There's one more you missed. There was a version of the Game & Watch one that was released on the Wrist Watch lineup. Weirdly enough, some of these do not use the regular "Bros." abbreviation, calling them by their entire name, Super Mario Brothers. (Source: ua-cam.com/video/uKxRglFVPqY/v-deo.html )
There’s also a bootleg version of the Game & Watch Super Mario Bros. game. It isn’t official but it’s pretty interesting. Check out Akfamilyhome’s video about it if you want.
Fun fact: Secret 1-ups in SMB can only show up if you warp to the world using the warp zones throughoutthe game, and since you can't warp to 1-1, it'll always show up
Christ, it’s annoying. Didn’t even make it to the two-minute mark. Have Americans always called it that, I wonder? In the UK, at least when the original games were out, it was always BROTHERS.
@DoggoCatto Yes, in the written form, it can be abbreviated that way. But I had never known it to be verbalised in the shortened form, and certainly not in terms of Mario games. As another example, one doesn't pronounce 'Mr.' as it is written. It is still 'mister'.
Good video but this got annoying within about 30 seconds :) Especially when showing Japanese boxes that say Brothers not Bro's OH AND THEN he pronounces "vs." as "versus"!
Honestly, how many people remember Super Mario Crossover, because that was probably my favorite Super Mario Bros port. Being a flash game that is a faithful recreation of Super Mario Bros with multiple playable characters from other series that keep their original gameplay style and are changed slightly to fit the Mario universe.
@@shreddleddbetter7053 Same, it was how I was introduced to Mega Man and I immediately became more interested when he was announced for Smash 4 years later, quickly becoming one of my favorite game series of all time alongside his spinoffs. So this game holds a special place in my heart.

Note that the GBA version was actually slightly modified due to differences in the aspect ratio of the GBA and NES; Mario's sprite (and maybe some others) was actually redrawn to make it fit better, which might make it seem off if you're really familiar with the original. Nintendrew had a video all about the GBA-NES ports, I would recommend looking at that for the specifics.
I grew up with Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and that was the first Mario game I ever played, or maybe it was Super Mario Land. I have a lot of fond memories of playing the game.

I know I know, but I gotta be *that guy* so here goes, Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) took levels from Vs. Super Mario Bros. because Vs. SMB finished development before SMB2J, even though Vs. SMB came out 11 days after in Japan. (Vs. SMB came out 6/14/86, SMB2J came out 6/3/86) Sorry for having to be the nitpicky guy, great video, and I love this style, because it's nice to just watch in general. Much love, keep going man!
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.
What you say is right, but due to the nature of VS Super Mario Bros, I think that it stole the levels from SMBLL while SMBLL was in development, and VS Super Mario Bros just happened to release first. That makes much more sense than a console release stealing from an arcade game
I just discovered this channel yesterday. Great videos so far!! The only thing I would suggest is possibly a counter on the screen to answer how many versions you cover of each game. Again great job, I'm quickly becoming addicted to these
@@lol-ih1tl actually it wasn't in the original Doubutsu no Mori, only its GameCube version (Doubutsu no Mori+). It was also removed in Doubutsu no Mori e+.
Maybe in the future you could give a final count for the total number of ports, or keep a counter at the corner of the screen. That would better answer the titles of these videos, I think. In any case, super interesting and informative, thanks for making this!
4:59 Pretty sure the Game Historian detailed how Doki Doki Panic originated as an unrelated vertically scrolling Super Mario game that was adapted to feature Fuji Television mascots for that festival.
What I find cool about the FamicomBox is that it uses NES cartridges despite or maybe even because it was exclusive to Japan (that could have made them want to use them because you wouldn't be able to play them on a regular Famicom that way, something they apparently didn't want you to do).
13:26 Does anyone know why SNES Mario looks like that? He has Blue Overalls, but in the final release, he had Red Overalls in Mario All-Stars. Was this clip made during the production? Or is it a BETA version?
@PurestBean Doubutsu no Mori (Animal Forest) only contains seven Famicom games; Balloon Fight, Clu Clu Land, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr. Math, Golf, Pinball and Tennis. Animal Crossing introduces twelve more Famicom titles, but with different methods to obtain the games. nookipedia.com/wiki/Doubutsu_no_Mori_(game)
The levels from VS. Super Mario Bros. weren't taken from Super Mario Bros. 2, the other way around-- in fact, when they made Mario 2, the main inspiration for the higher challenge _was_ the handful of exclusive levels from VS Super Mario Bros.
Same... Bros isn't a word. Its an abbreviation for the word Brothers, specially when used in a company name. Which is obviously the name of the Mario Brothers plumbing company. It grates on me when people say "bros*
@@mysticalbeing13 The cartridge says "Bros." with a period, which is pronounced "brothers". If it didn't have that period, then it'd be pronounced the way the person in the video was pronouncing it.
I couldn’t finish the video and came here to see if anyone else was talking about it. Hearing someone says “bros” out loud is not only wrong, but oddly disconcerting.
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.
14:00 Fun fact: All versions of Super Mario Bros. that are mentioned in the video are based on the original source code of the game. Yes, even the SNES version - the instruction set of the CPU in the SNES is a superset of that of the NES so the "only" things that had to be changed for it to work on the SNES was communication with memory mapped hardware, primarily how the game handled graphics and audio, and in conjunction with the port they decided to upgrade those two aspects of the game significantly. Since this video was released, there has actually been one remake of the game that wasn't based on the original source code and that is the now discontinued Super Mario Bros. 35, which as speedrunner Kosmic points out has very different physics from the original game. They also released the Game and Watch: Super Mario Bros which features a version of the game with some great UX changes. It saves high scores and completion status between resets, lets you choose between normal and hard mode after completion and has the ability to level select any worlds you've already reached even before you've finished the game. It also lets both players play with the same sets of controls in two player mode, but that may have been done emulator-side rather from within the game. Otherwise and aside from the updated copyright date, it's identical to the North American/Japanese cartridge release of the game.
25:54 Mario had been to Russia! Left one is translated like "Mario 3: Around the World" (probably, that was an adventure with a view to find some vodka) and the right one is translated like "Mario 4: Space Odyssey" (of course, after drinking vodka you may fell like in space and you may not remember where you are so you're going to have an epic odyssey)
Despite you not mentioning this in the video, there is a 2010 SEGA Genesis port of the original Super Mario Brothers game from someone by name of Mairtrus, as well as a Commodore 64 port/recreation fom ZeroPaige. However, the latter of which was hit with a DMCA takedown notice by Nintendo in 2019, despite ZeroPaige's C64 project taking about 7 years to make. Other than that, great video!
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.
Awesome video bro.. in the beginning of the video you touch on the Mario song, UA-cam “cocoa brovas - super Brooklyn” where Smif n wessun use the Mario beat to rap over, it’s really awesome.
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.
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. :-(
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!
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!
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.
Mario dancing at 6:38 is so mario to me. I always picture him as that friendly chill dude that will help you unlike some cartoon animal that decided to DIE in the game's story.
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.
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.
As an Asian grew up playing all the games directly imported from japan, it is so interesting to see how Western gamer view those facts that seem to be so common during my childhood. Japan is definitely forging the gaming history in a unprecedented way.
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).
Interesting side note to the Duck Hunt/SMB cart bundled.with the Action Set... in the UK at least is that it was slightly sped up when compared to earlier stand alone carts. Because it was faster it always felt more fluid and personally always found the game easier to finish using the DH/SMB version, especially once at world 8. By the early 90's the stand alone carts were also the faster version too.
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
This drove me to distraction & made it hard to focus on the video's content. I can't tell if he's trying to be cute or has never seen the dot after "bros"... or heard literally anyone else on the planet pronounce the game's title 😶
Small correction - Vs. SMB did NOT take levels from SMB2j. It was the opposite, SMB2j came out later and actually was born out of Vs. SMB. Nintendo liked making hard new levels for Vs. SMB so they decided to make an expansion to SMB and created SMB2j. In the process, the new Vs. SMB levels were recycled into it, with small changes. Also All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. is a hack of SMB2j featuring SMB1 and some SMB2j levels. Creative one, I might add. Also, not most stages are set at night! Just World 1. People keep making this mistake all the time...

What I find cool about the FamicomBox is that it uses NES cartridges despite or maybe even because it was exclusive to Japan (that could have made them want to use them because you wouldn't be able to play them on a regular Famicom that way, something they apparently didn't want you to do).

13:26 Does anyone know why SNES Mario looks like that? He has Blue Overalls, but in the final release, he had Red Overalls in Mario All-Stars. Was this clip made during the production? Or is it a BETA version?

2020: super mario bros 35th anniversary
Nintendo: releases another variation of super mario bros
What I want: Super Mario Galaxy 3
nah...they'll probably only release an amiibo
@@s60416 they already did for Mario's 30th anniversary
25:55
We got Mario All-Stars
I think you mean three variations. The Super Mario Game and Watch, Super Mario All-Stars on Switch, and Super Mario 35.
The levels from VS. Super Mario Bros. weren't taken from Super Mario Bros. 2, the other way around-- in fact, when they made Mario 2, the main inspiration for the higher challenge _was_ the handful of exclusive levels from VS Super Mario Bros.
I have always said Super Mario Brothers, not Bros. Hearing this over and over bothers me more than it should.
Same... Bros isn't a word. Its an abbreviation for the word Brothers, specially when used in a company name. Which is obviously the name of the Mario Brothers plumbing company.
It grates on me when people say "bros*
Paul Drybröugh though it says on the cartridge Bros.
@@paulpetroleum Super mario bros is how I will always say it.
@@mysticalbeing13 The cartridge says "Bros." with a period, which is pronounced "brothers". If it didn't have that period, then it'd be pronounced the way the person in the video was pronouncing it.
I couldn’t finish the video and came here to see if anyone else was talking about it. Hearing someone says “bros” out loud is not only wrong, but oddly disconcerting.
Bro that release on gba looks cursed as hell, he legit has no torso tf
The GBA vertical resolution was a joke back in 2001, should have been 192p or 224p
i think the version in my bootleg gba cart that has 200 nes games looks better
Its a game perfect for kids with no necks
Athesies ah ha a man of culture
@@Athesies Finally, a game system for me!
VS. Super Mario Bros is still one of my favorite versions of Super Mario Bros. Thank you Arcade Archives.
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.
The pure malice in your voice when you said, *NOW TRY AGAIN* is perfect.
9:14 the most underrated goomba, the fricken Mac tonight lookin goomba
11:42 these Bootleg handhelds have detachable screens with games if you want to insert another game like thunderbolt airplane or street overlord
sonic 1: i have the most versions of me
super mario bros: hold my mushroom
Well it has more ports
14:00 Fun fact: All versions of Super Mario Bros. that are mentioned in the video are based on the original source code of the game. Yes, even the SNES version - the instruction set of the CPU in the SNES is a superset of that of the NES so the "only" things that had to be changed for it to work on the SNES was communication with memory mapped hardware, primarily how the game handled graphics and audio, and in conjunction with the port they decided to upgrade those two aspects of the game significantly.
Since this video was released, there has actually been one remake of the game that wasn't based on the original source code and that is the now discontinued Super Mario Bros. 35, which as speedrunner Kosmic points out has very different physics from the original game. They also released the Game and Watch: Super Mario Bros which features a version of the game with some great UX changes. It saves high scores and completion status between resets, lets you choose between normal and hard mode after completion and has the ability to level select any worlds you've already reached even before you've finished the game. It also lets both players play with the same sets of controls in two player mode, but that may have been done emulator-side rather from within the game. Otherwise and aside from the updated copyright date, it's identical to the North American/Japanese cartridge release of the game.
Dude I was watching a smm2 1-1 remake and this came in my notifications
it's like 1-1 remakes are a common thing! wow!
14:00 I remember playing this on some flash website when I was younger. Ah, the memories
Did you notice the text at the 1-2 background?
Also did you know that at Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World Luigi's head was remastered
im always hyped when your vids come out bro there epic
Patmac you make my day your videos are just awesome whenever you release a video it’s a slapper
25:54 Mario had been to Russia! Left one is translated like "Mario 3: Around the World" (probably, that was an adventure with a view to find some vodka) and the right one is translated like "Mario 4: Space Odyssey" (of course, after drinking vodka you may fell like in space and you may not remember where you are so you're going to have an epic odyssey)
You're gonna need vodka if you decide to play those
and a will of STEEL. i have been there....
And it's NOT pretty.
Yeah the Game Overs for Mario 4: Space Odyssey were creepy. There was one for basically every situation.
Despite you not mentioning this in the video, there is a 2010 SEGA Genesis port of the original Super Mario Brothers game from someone by name of Mairtrus, as well as a Commodore 64 port/recreation fom ZeroPaige. However, the latter of which was hit with a DMCA takedown notice by Nintendo in 2019, despite ZeroPaige's C64 project taking about 7 years to make.
Other than that, great video!
25:54 Mario 3: Around the World
for kids older than 6 years
looks like they haven't got a game over yet
@Figger Naggot 420 The game over screen is some stolen gory Mario fan art
Consoles being more powerful than PCs oh how things have changed.
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.
@@LonelySpaceDetective doom and wolfenstein were some of the first PC games that consoles couldnt run

Imagine your NES out-performing your PC
Awesome video bro.. in the beginning of the video you touch on the Mario song, UA-cam “cocoa brovas - super Brooklyn” where Smif n wessun use the Mario beat to rap over, it’s really awesome.
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 was not expecting to sit through 27 minutes of talking about game ports, but the history and screens for each game worked. Bravo !
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. :-(
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!
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!
23:33 oh! It's a pegasus! That waa pretty much the polish equivalent of the nes and i live in poland! I was not expecting to see that!
The fact that the famicom box version uses a US style cartridge is the most interesting part
Maybe because it was a giant front-loading box
19:43 for an 'unaltered' mario rom, the plumber looks awfully like the hunchback of notre dam
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.
23:44 GRAND DAD
FLINTSTONES!?!?!
Mario dancing at 6:38 is so mario to me. I always picture him as that friendly chill dude that will help you unlike some cartoon animal that decided to DIE in the game's story.
19:44 Mario: What neck?
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.
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!
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.
To the few people that see this comment
Have a great day

Every once in a while, I get recommended this video. Every time I do, I watch through the entire video.
As an Asian grew up playing all the games directly imported from japan, it is so interesting to see how Western gamer view those facts that seem to be so common during my childhood. Japan is definitely forging the gaming history in a unprecedented way.
I hear you. I grew up in the US but we imported a Super Famicom when we visited the homeland 😂
You forgot the bootleg Brazilian Super Mario All-Stars for Wii, which has a bunch of Mario games "remade" in the NSMBW engine.
At 7:24, Mario just did a Sonic Advance pose !!!
He also did that Super Smash Bros ultimate
Mario gunning for that Street Fighter II re-re-re-release championship spot
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).
That special version of the red wii with SMB25 was also released in Australia i have one with that version of the game preloaded
2:45
That's an impressive collection. Is it yours?
I love that you mentioned the mario and zelda big band album! It's such a classic but it feels like no one knows about it.
I absolutely hate it when people pronounce it as BROS when it's called Super Mario BROTHERS.
Same here dude it makes me wince.
The Duck Hunt / Super Mario Bros cartridge is pretty cool
Interesting side note to the Duck Hunt/SMB cart bundled.with the Action Set... in the UK at least is that it was slightly sped up when compared to earlier stand alone carts. Because it was faster it always felt more fluid and personally always found the game easier to finish using the DH/SMB version, especially once at world 8. By the early 90's the stand alone carts were also the faster version too.
Was it because they used the NTSC version, or was it altered to natively work on the PAL hardware?
I grew up in the 90s playing Super Mario All Stars. I also played Super Mario Bros Deluxe.
The American Wii Shop Channel listed SMB's release day as October 18.
Wut
Learned a few new things from this video, great stuff, very detailed. 👍
*Basically: Many weird bootlegs and curious ports*
Super informative really liked this video kudos to you hope to see more of this!
9:45 You are talking about the same company who put a marcedes benz on Mario Kart?
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
It's pronounced "Super Mario BROTHERS." And yes, I can prove it.
yep, the "." at the end means that it's an abbreviated word, and I don't think anyone said "BROs" in the 80s
The ultimate proof is that at the beginning of the Game Boy Advance version of each game, , Mario himself announced, "Super Mario BROTHERS."
Driving me nuts saying bros every time.
I mean it doesn't really matter
The Japanese title seen on box art at numerous points in this video, スーパーマリオブラザーズ, is "Sūpā Mario Burazāzu".
"You can play Doom on anything"
Mario: Hold my Spaghetti...
You know that the Bros. in "Super Mario Bros." is suppose to be pronounced "Brothers," right?
Jason Sikes This. It’s bothering the absolute hell outta me.
This drove me to distraction & made it hard to focus on the video's content. I can't tell if he's trying to be cute or has never seen the dot after "bros"... or heard literally anyone else on the planet pronounce the game's title 😶
@@ericjohnson6634 Exactly. It's an abbreviation. It'd be like pronouncing "Dr." as druh or something instead of doctor.
Jason Sikes it’d be durrr as in “Durrr Burger”
Then they should've just spelled it Brothers on the cover. I'll keep calling it bros
Small correction - Vs. SMB did NOT take levels from SMB2j. It was the opposite, SMB2j came out later and actually was born out of Vs. SMB. Nintendo liked making hard new levels for Vs. SMB so they decided to make an expansion to SMB and created SMB2j. In the process, the new Vs. SMB levels were recycled into it, with small changes.
Also All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. is a hack of SMB2j featuring SMB1 and some SMB2j levels. Creative one, I might add. Also, not most stages are set at night! Just World 1. People keep making this mistake all the time...
0:22, You're telling me there's a difference with all of those? I swear over half of them are just the same thing.
First day on your channel, this video was fantastic! I am a new fan now.
