Mario no Daibōken (Japanese: マリオの大冒険, lit: Mario's Great Adventure) is an obscure VHS and Betamax strategy guide released in Japan in 1986 by Pony Canyon for Super Mario Bros. It features tips for various levels, live-action segments starring a Mario mascot costume, and Go Go Mario!!, a lyrical version of the game's Ground Theme. Go Go Mario!! would later be released as a single in Japan.
The video guides the viewer through a quick playthrough of Super Mario Bros., starting in World 1-1, using the Warp Zone in World 1-2 to warp to World 4, and using World 4-2's Warp Zone to warp to World 8 and complete the game.
The video also shows a variety of secrets, such as the aforementioned Warp Zones in World 1-2 and World 4-2, various hidden 1-Up locations, and the infinite 1-Up trick in World 3-1. The video contains a rare instance of Nintendo officially showcasing and endorsing the use of glitches in its games, featuring a segment all about various bugs present in the game.
All of this is regularly interrupted by live-action segments featuring a Mario mascot costume who can be seen playing the game. Mario introduces new segments and gives commentary, and he plays a prominent role in the Go Go Mario!! music video shown at the end of the VHS.
Trivia[edit]
- The video's cover art would later be repurposed and modified to serve as the box art for All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.[1]
