| |
| * ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' (1985) - First scrolling [[Platform game|platformer]]. 32 KB of program; 8 KB of graphics. According to the ''[[Guinness Book of World Records]]'' [http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=52404], ''SMB'' is the best-selling game of all time.
| |
| * ''[[Tennis (NES)|Tennis]]'' (1985) - Mario was the referee.
| |
| * ''[[Wrecking Crew]]'' (1985) - Mario is the protagonist, but gameplay is unrelated to other ''Mario'' games. Many NES games featured Mario as a character, even though the game may not have fit the theme of the series.
| |
| [[Image:Smb2j 5-2 warpzone.png|thumb|135px|[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]]]
| |
| * ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'' (1985) - Released initially in [[Japan]] on the Famicom Disk System as ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', this used a slightly modified version of the original ''SMB'' engine with much harder levels. The ''Lost Levels'' title was created when this game was brought to the [[United States|U.S.]] in ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', without the ''2''. Nintendo did not believe that it would sell well in the US, as the game was voted "too hard" by 94% of a survey of 250 Americans, and the game wasn't seen in America until the SNES release.

USA'' (1988) - Released at first in markets outside of Japan, this is a modified version of a Japanese game called ''[[Doki Doki Panic]]'' with some of the graphics replaced by ''Mario''-themed graphics. This game tends to be overlooked by some ''Mario'' fans as being the runt; some of the characters introduced in this game have now become staples of the ''Mario'' world, including [[Bob-omb]]s, [[Snifit]]s, Pokey the Cactus, and [[Shy Guy|Shy Guys]].
