What a classic! An excellent game for its time. Mario Bros is a kind-of strategy game featuring everyone's favourite plumbers; Mario and his brother Luigi (thus the title "Mario Bros").
In this game, you must get rid of the pests that come out of the pipes by punching the platform beneath them. The levels get progressively harder with new creatures that are more difficult to attack, and faster speeds. Points are given when you knock the stunned creatures off the platform, and for collecting coins rewarded to you. Bonus rounds are included from time to time, in which you must collect all of the coins within the time limit.
The graphics in the game are well done for an early NES game. It is quite colourful, besides the plain black background, which is common in early NES games. Sounds and music are simple, but suitable. Mario Bros. is still a fairly fun game to play, even today, and will give you a lot of enjoyment.
