Super Mario Bros

Super Mario Bros is a seminal video game released in 1985 by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Developed by Shigeru Miyamoto, the game follows the adventures of Mario and Luigi as they navigate the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of the antagonist Bowser. Super Mario Bros revolutionized the platforming genre and established many conventions still used in video games today. It introduced power-ups like the Mushroom and Fire Flower, as well as the now iconic enemies such as Goombas and Koopa Troopas. Moreover, the game's exhilarating soundtrack composed by Koji Kondo remains one of the most recognizable and beloved video game scores of all time. Super Mario Bros has since become the best-selling video game of its era, selling over 40 million copies worldwide and spawning a vast franchise that includes sequels, spin-offs, and even a successful film adaptation.
