Super Mario Bros is a 1985 platform video game developed by Nintendo. The player controls Mario as he travels the Mushroom Kingdom in order to rescue Princess Peach from the key enemy Bowser Koopa.
The player moves from the left side of the screen to the right side in order to get to the flag pole at the end of each level. The game world has coins placed around it for Mario to collect, and special bricks marked with a question mark ("?"), which when hit from below by Mario, may reveal more coins or a special item. Other "secret" (often invisible) bricks may contain more coins or rare items. If the player gains a red and yellow Super Mushroom, Mario grows to double his size and can take one extra hit from most enemies and obstacles.
Players are given a certain number of lives (and may gain additional lives by picking up green and orange '1-Up' mushrooms, collecting 100 coins, or defeating several enemies in a row with a Koopa shell), which are lost when Mario takes too much damage, falls in a pit, or runs out of time; the game ends when all lives are lost. Mario's primary attack is jumping on top of enemies, though many enemies have differing responses to this. An alternate way to damage enemies is with the Fire Flower, an item which, when picked up, changes the color of Mario's outfit and allows him to shoot fireballs.
The game consists of eight worlds with four sub-levels called "stages" in each world. The game also includes some stages taking place underwater, which contain different enemies. In addition, there are bonuses and secret areas in the game. Most secret areas contain more coins for Mario to collect, but others may allow Mario to advance to later worlds in the game, skipping over earlier ones.
