'''''All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.''''' (オールナイトニッポン スーパーマリオブラザーズ) is an officially licensed retool of ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', produced in 1986 for the [[Family Computer Disk System]]. As such, there is no 2 Player Game but rather the option to play as [[Luigi]] with his unique physics. This version is based on the Japanese radio program ''{{wp|All Night Nippon}}'', and it was sold through a lottery system on the show itself to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the program in the upcoming year. The game was published by {{wp|Nippon Broadcasting System}}, a subsidiary of {{wp|Fuji TV}} who would go on to publish ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', which was localized in the West as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. | '''''All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.'''''

Only 3,040 copies were released. Due to high demand and limited supply, listeners were told from December 15 to December 19 to send a postcard which would be entered into a lottery for 2,000 of the copies. The card must be postmarked by December 20 to qualify. Winners received a reply postcard to alert them to send a money order for their copy. 1,000 copies were sold directly at Nippon Broadcasting System's music center window on December 20, which lead to a long queue of prospective buyers in front of the building. In addition, ''Famicom Tsūshin'' (''Famitsu'') and ''Family Computer Magazine'' (''Famimaga'') each gave out 20 free copies to their readers in a lottery. The deadline for ''Famitsu'' was December 25 while ''Famimaga'''s was January 15, 1987. ''Famitsu'' received over 30,000 submissions.<ref>[https://bigafrodogg.hatenablog.com/entry/2022/03/29/190531 New Discovery of ''All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.'' 3/29/2022].

''One day, the peaceful {{wp|All Night Nippon}} dream land Viva Kingdom where [[Toad (species)|Mushroom]]s live was invaded by the tribe of the huge turtle [[Bowser|Koopa]], who possesses powerful magic.
