About Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros is a classic platform video game that was created by Nintendo in 1985. It was commonly played in arcades and through the Super Nintendo console system. The original game focused on Mario, an Italian plumber that is always on a quest to save the Princess who gets trapped in a castle. To succeed, Mario travels through multiple levels with increasing difficulty that are filled with enemies including Goobas, Bowsers and Koopa Troopers. Each level needed to be completed in a specific amount of time. Players earned points by collecting magic mushrooms, coins, killing enemies and completing each level.

While some of the following Super Mario online games stay true to the original, others add a new twist which makes them worth a look.

Super Mario Flash – Halloween Version

This spooky Halloween themed Super Mario online game follows the game play style of the original, but changes the look and feel of its presentation. Instead of Goobas and Bowsers enemies, players will encounter ghoulish characters like mummies and vampires. The classic Super Mario theme is replaced with spooky sound effects and synthesizer music. Mario is controlled with a computer keyboard by using the Shift button and arrow keys. You can check this one out through the MarioGamesMario.com website.
