Before the 'Super' era, Mario and Luigi worked in the sewers of New York in the original Mario Bros. This classic arcade platformer, designed by Shigeru Miyamoto, tasks players with clearing pipes of pests like Shellcreepers, Sidesteppers, and Fighter Flies. The core mechanic involves bumping the floor beneath enemies to flip them over, then kicking them away. Work together in co-op mode or compete for high scores while using the POW block to shake things up. It is the essential foundation of the Mario franchise.
