Line 8:
''Can you kick off all the pests?''
 
'''For the page about the series as a whole, see [[Super Mario Bros.]] For the ''Super Mario Bros'' game specifically, click [[Super Mario Bros. (Videovideo Gamegame)|here]].'''
 
Mario and Luigi, the Mario Brothers, must try to get rid of Shellcreepers (turtles), Sidesteppers (crabs, which need to be hit twice), and Fighterflies (flies, which can be defeated only while they touch the platform) that come [[Just for Pun|pouring out of the waterworks]]. Hit the floor beneath them to flip them over, then kick them into the water. Collect coins for bonus.
Line 31:
* [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]: The game is famous for opening with ''Eine Kleine Nachtmusik''.
* [[Scoring Points]]: This was the last Super Mario game whose goal was to score as many points as possible. Future games would follow the Super Mario Bros. "campaign" model.
* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Inverted Trope|Inverted.]] In the original and Super NES versions of ''[[Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 3]]'', if you enter the same space as the other player, you get to play a [[New Game+]] version of this game. You must kill five enemies, like in the original, and if you hit the other player from below, you get to steal their cards. So, if you have two Stars, and the other guy has one, you can steal that card, and you'll get five extra lives, just like in the main game! You won't get the fanfare, though. The players' status (Super, Fire, Raccoon, etc.) have no effect in this game; both players are small.
** There are also a couple of extra games that load every four battles.
*** The first game has five coins in the room, and whoever gets the most wins.
Line 37:
*** The third game has ? boxes on three floors with ladders at the center. Players must kick open the boxes with the run button and find best three out of five coins.
** The Super NES version also has a "battle mode" which consists exclusively of this game. However, the objective here is to get five coins, not kill five enemies. Both players start out in Super form (take two hits to kill), and Super Mushrooms are provided occasionally. Whoever wins five games wins. Curiously, [[Mercy Invincibility]] when hit once lasts forever if the player doesn't move (at least in the SNES version). Also, in this mode only, the fireballs are replaced with Boos, Koopa Troopas occasionally appear (and can be stomped on in order to use their shell like in other Mario games), and a new type of mushroom with a question mark on it will appear, either swapping the bros' places or inverting their powered-up states.
** And finally... There's no battle mode in the ''[[Super Mario Bros 3 (Video Game)|Super Mario Bros 3]]'' portion of ''Super Mario Advance 4'', but a remake of Mario Bros. is in, and the multiplayer mode brings back the SNES version's "best 5 out of 9" format.
* [[Smart Bomb]]: The POW block.
* [[Wrap Around]]
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: In all remakes of this game except for the ''[[Super Smash Bros (Video Game)|Super Smash Bros]] Brawl'' level, Shellcreepers are replaced with Spinies. [[Justified Trope|Justified]]; being turtles, Shellcreepers were the predecessors of the later Koopas, and that would cause confusion.
