The Super Mario Series is a massively popular
game series featuring the familiar red hatted character Mario. The series started WAY back in 1985, with the release of Super Mario Bros. on the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System). It was created by legendary
game designer Shigeru Miyamoto (b. 1952) alongside his development team
Nintendo R&D4.
In this article we're mainly going to talk about the original
game and its development.
Super Mario Bros. was a
game released for arcades (yes, arcades search it up) and of course, the NES. By overthinking you would easily know the arcade version was to simply rack up more coins, because it's literally just the NES version but Mario turns yellow when he has a Fire Flower powerup.
Super Mario Bros. was created by Shigeru Miyamoto and his development team
Nintendo R&D4. It was created as a "farewell" to the standard ROM cartridges and to usher into a new age.. of floppy disks. That was unexpected. Anyways, this
game was created in conjunction with another popular series starter, The Legend of Zelda for the Famicom Disk System (and also the Famicom/NES). Development was culminated by the developer's previous games for the system like Excitebike and Kung-Fu (actually, a port of the arcade. LOL!). The
game was designed to be simple, not because they wanted this to be a
game for beginners, but rather because they wanted to sell the
game by the end of 1985.

Jon: I think it's best you don't.
Ron: Why?
Jon: You're really bad at gaming, I think you should play Super Mario Bros. on the NES first.
Ron: Oh.. okay!
