Mario Bros.

Mario and Luigi, the best plumbers in the world, have a real job on their hands. A host of characters have taken over the sewers, and the brothers must clear them out of the pipes.
The platform puzzle which first introduced Luigi to the world has both single and multiplayer action with two differing game types. Crabs, turtles and fighter flies must be cleared out by jumping underneath the platform they're on, then kicking them away. Each level is cleared when all of the enemies are defeated.

NES Mario Bros. "1 player" by Spikestuff in 07:39.79


 Watch
Mario Bros. is a platformer and the second game to star Nintendo's mascot Mario as a playable character. It also introduces Mario's brother Luigi and the idea of their occupations as plumbers. With one or two players, the objective is to clear the underground levels of enemies that are coming out of the pipes. This is done by hitting the platform they're on from below to flip them over, where they then can be kicked off into the water.
For this run, Spikestuff chooses to play only as Mario and cleans the pipes and sewers until the game starts looping, which is after 18 phases, doing so in record time.

The platform puzzle which first introduced Luigi to the world has both single and multiplayer action with two differing game types. Crabs, turtles and fighter flies must be cleared out by jumping underneath the platform they're on, then kicking them away. Each level is cleared when all of the enemies are defeated.
This time around, Spikestuff plays on the American version, as it has fewer phases and also has a pause bug not present in the European version, which allows Mario and Luigi to pass through floors. This is especially useful in the Test Your Skill stages, and allows for a faster completion of them. Like in the European version, the Bros.' potential for both hilarious antics and impressive teamwork is nicely demonstrated here.

In this TAS, Spikestuff plays on the enhanced European version (Classic Serie, ported from FDS) for its greater difficulty and completes one round (23 phases). The Bros.' potential for both hilarious antics and impressive teamwork is nicely demonstrated here.
If you're itching for more Mario Bros. action, we also have a run on the American version.
