Mario Bros. Stage

Mario Bros. (マリオブラザーズ, Mario Barazāzū) is an arcade game made by Nintendo, released in 1983 as an arcade game and later ported to many home systems. It was the first game to feature Mario's name in the title, and was also the debut of Mario's brother, Luigi.

Single Player

The goal is to eiminate all enemies in the "room" to clear each level. Enemies are "stunned" by hitting the platform on which they are from below with a jump. To eliminate them, you must touch them before they recover. If they do, their color will change(from red to green to blue) and they will become faster. The last enemy of each level is always blue.

Enemies

• Sidestepper: A turtle. Predecessor to the Koopa Troopas. One hit will stun it.
• Sidestepper: A crab. Tougher than the Shellcreeper. Requires two hits.
• Fighter Fly: A tricky enemy. Hops around and can only be stunned when not airborne.
• Freezie: Destroyed when stunned, ths enemy will eventually stop and freeze a platform, making it slippery.
• Fireballs: These fireballs occasionally appear. They are destroyed like Freezies, but only when just over a platform.
