VS. Super Mario Bros.

VS. Super Mario Bros. is an arcade adaptation of Super Mario Bros., featuring several alterations. Notably, six of the levels are entirely new, and would later be used in the FDS Super Mario Bros. 2.

While initially exclusive to North America with arcades outside that region importing the game, it was officially re-released internationally in 2017 as part of Arcade Archives for the Nintendo Switch.

Unused Graphics#

A unique T tile goes unused and replaces the tile for the mushroom player select icon from Super Mario Bros. Presumably, this would have been used as part of the ™ symbol.

The unused parts of the original Super Mario Bros. title screen are still present.
