'''''Super Mario Bros.''''' is a video game released for the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] in [[List of games by date#1985|1985]]. It shifted the gameplay away from its single-screen arcade predecessor, ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', and instead featured side-scrolling platformer [[level]]s. While not the first game of the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] (the first being ''[[Donkey Kong (game)|Donkey Kong]]''), ''Super Mario Bros.'' is the most iconic, and it introduced various series staples, including power-ups, classic enemies such as [[Goomba]]s, and the basic premise of rescuing [[Princess Peach]] from [[Bowser]].

As well as kicking off an entire series of ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' platform games, the wild success of ''Super Mario Bros.'' popularized the genre as a whole, helped revive the North American gaming industry after the {{wp|video game crash of 1983}}, and was largely responsible for the initial success of the NES, with which it was bundled as a launch title. Until it was eventually surpassed by ''{{wp|Wii Sports}}'', ''Super Mario Bros.'' was the best-selling video game of all time for nearly three decades, with over 40 million copies sold worldwide.

The exact day of the North American release of ''Super Mario Bros.'' is heavily disputed, with different sources giving different dates with no way to verify them. Regardless, Nintendo officially pinpoints the release date as October 18, 1985.<ref name=narelease/>
