STORY
The Mushroom Kingdom was a peaceful place, until the fateful day
that Bowser used his twisted magic to invade it. Bowser turned most
of the Mushroom Kingdom's people into rocks, bricks, and mushrooms. He
even kidnapped Princess Toadstool and held her captive in his huge castle.
When the Mario Brothers, Mario and Luigi, heard this, they knew that they
needed to do something. They decided to battle Bowser and his evil
minions to save the Princess. Can they do it? (picture of Mario)

HOW TO PLAY
SUPER MARIO BROS.

Goal
At the end of each stage, there is a flagpole and a castle. The higher you
grab on to the flagpole, the higher of a score you get. When you begin a
stage, the TIMER starts to count down. The more time you have left when you
grab the flagpole, the higher of a bonus you receive.
If one player clears a stage or loses a life in 2 PLAYER mode, it will be the
other player's turn.
In Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, the high scores
are saved too. To reset the high scores, press the A, B, L and R Buttons at

HOW TO PLAY
SUPER MARIO BROS. THE LOST LEVELS
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is a special version of the original Super
Mario Bros. The play controls are the same as in the Super Mario Bros. game,
but the game is much more difficult. (This is why you can save at any stage
instead of just at the start of each world.)
(picture of the title screen)
There is no 2 PLAYER Game. First, you have to choose from MARIO GAME
or LUIGI GAME. Luigi can jump higher than Mario, but is harder to stop.
After your game is over, you can try using the other character. You may
find this useful in clearing some of the stages.
(picture of the level presentation screen)
In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, look out for the poisonous mushrooms!
They are not very good for our heroes!
(picture of Luigi jumping higher than Mario)

SUPER MARIO BROS. 2(r)
STORY
(picture of Princess Toadstool)
One evening, Mario had a strange dream. He dreamt of a long, long stairway
leading up to a door. As soon as the door opened, he was confronted with a
world he had never seen before spreading out as far as his eyes could see.
Suddenly, he heard a faint voice saying "Welcome to 'Subcon', the land of
dreams. We have been cursed by Wart. Please defeat Wart and save us.
Remember, Wart hates vegetables. Please help us!"
The next day, on the way to a picnic, Mario talked to Luigi, Toad, and the
Princess about the strange dream he had. After arriving at the picnic area,
they found a small cave. When they opened the door in this cave, to their
great surprise, the world that Mario saw in his dream spread out before them!

Princess. (picture of the character selection screen)
The red hearts on the left of the screen are your life gauge. When all of the

an item, his jumping ability decreases a lot. (picture of Luigi)
Toad - Toad has the least jumping power. Holding an item does not affect his
jumping. (picture of Toad)
The Princess - She is third in jumping ability, but she can do something that
no one else can do. If you hold the B Button while in the air,
she can float for a while. When carrying an item, her jumping
power decreases quite a bit. (picture of The Princess)

STORY
(picture of Luigi)
The Mushroom Kingdom has been a peaceful place thanks to the brave deeds of
Mario and Luigi. The Mushroom Kingdom forms an entrance to the
Mushroom World where all is not well. Bowser has sent his 7 children
to make mischief as they please in the normally peaceful Mushroom
World. They stole the royal magic wands from each country in the
Mushroom World and used them to turn their kings into animals. Mario
and Luigi must recover the royal magic wands from Bowser's 7 kids to
return the kings to their true forms. "Good-bye and good luck!", said
the Princess and Toad as Mario and Luigi set off on their journey deep into
the Mushroom World.

HOW TO PLAY THE CLASSIC MARIO BROS. GAME (2 PLAYER BATTLE MODE)
SUPER MARIO BROS. 3
If Mario and Luigi are in the same place on the 2 player mode map, or if either
of the players choose Battle Mode, you can play the CLASSIC MARIO
BROS. game. The object of this game is to punch these enemies from below
to overturn them, then kick them away. The POW block at the bottom
center of the screen is able to give the whole screen a jolt! You can only
use the POW block 3 times.
Rules
* 2 Player Battle mode
There are five enemies shown (not counting fire balls). Whoever
defeats three enemies first, wins! If an enemy touches you, you lose.
When one player is punched from below by the other player, one of the
punched player's cards will pop out. You can steal you opponent's cards
in this way. In the Battle Mode, there are a couple of games in which
two players compete to see how fast they can collect the coins.
(2 pictures of the Mario Bros. Battle Mode)
(2 pictures of other Battle Mode games)
* Battle Mode
After you kick enemies away, get the coins which come of the pipe. Whoever
gets 5 coins first is the winner of the game. If the enemy touches you, you
lose. Your old buddy, Koopa, will be found here. Try to jump on him, because
he is the only enemy you can attack from the top. In the Battle Game, there
are two kinds of mushrooms. One is a Super Mushroom, the other one is a
mystery! (picture of the Mario Bros. game screen)
When the game is over, choose CONTINUE or END by using the + Control
Pad, then press the START Button. (Your points cannot be saved.)

STORY
The Mushroom Kingdom was a peaceful place, until the fateful day
that Bowser used his twisted magic to invade it. Bowser turned most
of the Mushroom Kingdom's people into rocks, bricks, and mushrooms. He
even kidnapped Princess Toadstool and held her captive in his huge castle.
When the Mario Brothers, Mario and Luigi, heard this, they knew that they
needed to do something. They decided to battle Bowser and his evil
minions to save the Princess. Can they do it? (picture of Mario)

grab the flagpole, the higher of a bonus you receive.

other player's turn.

HOW TO PLAY
SUPER MARIO BROS. THE LOST LEVELS
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels is a special version of the original Super
Mario Bros. The play controls are the same as in the Super Mario Bros. game,
but the game is much more difficult. (This is why you can save at any stage
instead of just at the start of each world.)
(picture of the title screen)
There is no 2 PLAYER Game. First, you have to choose from MARIO GAME
or LUIGI GAME. Luigi can jump higher than Mario, but is harder to stop.
After your game is over, you can try using the other character. You may
find this useful in clearing some of the stages.
(picture of the level presentation screen)
In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, look out for the poisonous mushrooms!
They are not very good for our heroes!
(picture of Luigi jumping higher than Mario)

STORY
(picture of Princess Toadstool)
One evening, Mario had a strange dream. He dreamt of a long, long stairway
leading up to a door. As soon as the door opened, he was confronted with a
world he had never seen before spreading out as far as his eyes could see.
Suddenly, he heard a faint voice saying "Welcome to 'Subcon', the land of
dreams. We have been cursed by Wart. Please defeat Wart and save us.
Remember, Wart hates vegetables. Please help us!"
The next day, on the way to a picnic, Mario talked to Luigi, Toad, and the
Princess about the strange dream he had. After arriving at the picnic area,
they found a small cave. When they opened the door in this cave, to their
great surprise, the world that Mario saw in his dream spread out before them!

an item, his jumping ability decreases a lot. (picture of Luigi)
Toad - Toad has the least jumping power. Holding an item does not affect his
jumping. (picture of Toad)
The Princess - She is third in jumping ability, but she can do something that
no one else can do. If you hold the B Button while in the air,
she can float for a while. When carrying an item, her jumping
power decreases quite a bit. (picture of The Princess)

STORY
(picture of Luigi)
The Mushroom Kingdom has been a peaceful place thanks to the brave deeds of
Mario and Luigi. The Mushroom Kingdom forms an entrance to the
Mushroom World where all is not well. Bowser has sent his 7 children
to make mischief as they please in the normally peaceful Mushroom
World. They stole the royal magic wands from each country in the
Mushroom World and used them to turn their kings into animals. Mario
and Luigi must recover the royal magic wands from Bowser's 7 kids to
return the kings to their true forms. "Good-bye and good luck!", said
the Princess and Toad as Mario and Luigi set off on their journey deep into
the Mushroom World.

Beware! The Following Are Deadly!
You lose one Mario:
* When you are touched by an enemy. If you're Fire Mario, or Raccoon Mario,
you won't lose a life if you're touched by an enemy. You just go back to
being Super Mario. If you do get hit, Mario will flash for a few seconds.
During this time, he is invincible.
* When you fall into a hole or into fire.
* When you run out of time (time remaining goes down to 0.)

HOW TO PLAY THE CLASSIC MARIO BROS. GAME (2 PLAYER BATTLE MODE)
SUPER MARIO BROS. 3
If Mario and Luigi are in the same place on the 2 player mode map, or if either
of the players choose Battle Mode, you can play the CLASSIC MARIO
BROS. game. The object of this game is to punch these enemies from below
to overturn them, then kick them away. The POW block at the bottom
center of the screen is able to give the whole screen a jolt! You can only
use the POW block 3 times.
Rules
* 2 Player Battle mode
There are five enemies shown (not counting fire balls). Whoever
defeats three enemies first, wins! If an enemy touches you, you lose.
When one player is punched from below by the other player, one of the
punched player's cards will pop out. You can steal you opponent's cards
in this way. In the Battle Mode, there are a couple of games in which
two players compete to see how fast they can collect the coins.
(2 pictures of the Mario Bros. Battle Mode)
(2 pictures of other Battle Mode games)
* Battle Mode
After you kick enemies away, get the coins which come of the pipe. Whoever
gets 5 coins first is the winner of the game. If the enemy touches you, you
lose. Your old buddy, Koopa, will be found here. Try to jump on him, because
he is the only enemy you can attack from the top. In the Battle Game, there
are two kinds of mushrooms. One is a Super Mushroom, the other one is a
mystery! (picture of the Mario Bros. game screen)
When the game is over, choose CONTINUE or END by using the + Control
Pad, then press the START Button. (Your points cannot be saved.)
(picture of the end of Mario Bros. game screen)
If you win five times, you win the Battle Game.
