*The first port was released in Japan in 1983 for the Famicom and abroad as part of the NES' [[Arcade Classics Series]] in 1986. It follows the international arcade phases up to Phase 11. This version introduced two difficulty settings: game A (beginner) and game B (expert). Due to hardware limitations, cutscenes have been removed, enemies have much simpler animations, fireballs are made smaller, and [[icicle]]s do not appear. The bonus rounds appear on different stages and none of them have invisible floors. Mario and Luigi's clothes are colored differently. This port has been re-released many times (see [[#Ports of 1983 NES version|below]]). | *The first port was released in Japan in 1983 for the Famicom and abroad as part of the NES' [[Arcade Classics Series]] in 1986.

It follows the Japanese arcade phases. In addition, a new mode titled "Nagatanien World" has been added, and the player can now change direction in mid-air. | ||
*The third port is the European-exclusive "Classic Series" version released in 1993. It was based on the aforementioned ''Kaettekita Mario Bros.'', and retained all the arcade features from it, while removing everything else except for the mid-air change in direction. This version was perhaps the closest port of the arcade game, and was one of only two ports to have the original arcade intermissions (the other being the 1988 {{wp|Atari 8-bit family|Atari 8-bit}} version). Of note is that while the enemies use their sprites and colors from ''Kaettekita Mario Bros.'', Mario & Luigi use theirs from the first NES port. It also restores the game A and B difficulty modes that were missing in the 1988 version. Along with the above version, they are the only two ports to use the Japanese arcade phase system. | *The third port is the European-exclusive "Classic Series" version released in 1993.

In ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'', a competitive Battle Game was added with different gameplay, selectable on the title screen for ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. This version removed all bonus stages and introduced a single green [[Koopa Troopa]] to each stage whose shell can hurt the bros. but not enemies. This is the only version where the sprites for the Fireballs are replaced with [[Boo]]s. The sprites for the Koopa Troopa and the Boos are different than those used in the main game. This is also the only version where enemies change color if the brothers flip them back up except for the Koopa Troopa but it will still speed up. The POW block can also randomly regenerate. Both brothers start off in [[Super Mario (form)|Super form]] and [[Super Mushroom]]s will sometimes come out of the top pipes or are hidden in the platform blocks. This minigame also features the [[?

A remake of ''Mario Bros.'' is included in every ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' game, as well as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' (only in the original Game Boy Advance iteration, making it no longer included the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]]). All of these games can connect to each other to play Classic or Battle mode with up to four players. Classic is based on the co-op mode from the original and uses the Japanese arcade phase system. Battle is based on the Battle Game from ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]''. The remake also uses the GBA's Single-Pak multiplayer feature. It can connect and play with other GBA systems without the game, although Battle is the only multiplayer mode that can be played in this way. | A remake of ''Mario Bros.'' is included in every ''[[Super Mario Advance (series)|Super Mario Advance]]'' game, as well as ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' (only in the original Game Boy Advance iteration, making it no longer included the [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|3DS remake]]).
