This is it; this is the primordial soup, where a lot of it began. Donkey Kong started the formula of jumping, but this one polished it further and brought on the Koopas and the idea of hitting a block from underneath, coins, pipes, so much of the series started here.

CHRIS!!! DONT SAY YOU USED TO JUMP ON KOOPAS ON THE ORIGINAL MARIO BROS ARCADE GAME!!! THATS LITERALLY THE ONLY GAME WHERE YOU CAN'T JUMP ON THEM!!! YOU GOTTA HIT THEM FROM BELLOW ON THAT ONE!!! EVERYONE WILL SEE THROUGH YOU!!! CHRIS!!!!
@@Antonio-is2cn why do you keep responding to comments to say that? Nobody actually cares. Shellcreepers were the original name before they changed it. I’m calling them koopa a because that’s what they are called now
I love this game. There aren't any more changes after phase 35, so I completed phase 36 (the last level of that group of six) and phase 37 because it was a bonus stage and then I lost on purpose at phase 38. Story-wise that would be the end of the adventure, Mario and Luigi cleaned the sewers and went home. My favorite enemies are the sidesteppers, and they are also the fastest and most dangerous ones, lol. I would have an arcade cabinet of this game if I could.
It was easy to tell that this guy gave up the last couple minutes of this video/the game and just kept purposely killing himself off, except that I don't understand why he decided to do that with one lousy crab left that he could've gotten. At least finish a level first if you're that close to doing so. Maybe the next level would've been different. But if he was having even more trouble with it and there were still several enemies left, then he could've just killed himself off. But I do agree that if after a point, the levels are each exactly the same, then it isn't so fun and interesting anymore. And it did look like it was starting to do that. But he still should've killed off that last enemy and finished a level before quitting.
I like to think that after they went home the next day later Luigi and Mario go investigate the pipes but both of them get sucked into the pipes and get sent into the mushroom kingdom
The idea that this game would be for two players did not come about until Shigeru Miyamoto was inspired by Williams' Joust. The name for Mario's brother, Luigi, who is introduced in this game, came from a pizza parlor nearby the then-new Redmond, Washington headquarters of Nintendo of America called "Mario and Luigi's."
It's kind of funny how many people think Chris Pratt got the game wrong when they themselves for some reason don't even know this game exists and is technically the game that started the whole formula. Two italian plumber brothers, getting coins and hitting blocks, turtles, etc. I mean, he's technically not wrong that you can "stomp" on Koopas, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get very far. xD
Vahan Nisanian Yo you just blew my brain to bits by mentioning the game and watch version I was 11 years old when those came out I didn't ever remember they had those holy shit
@Pedro Gonzales No it didnt. I did research and two game and watch games titled mario bros and mario's cement factory came before this one. But they are very different games
@Pedro Gonzales I checked. Game and Watch:Mario Bros came out before this one came out. Mario was in it with luigi, therefore that was luigis first appearance. Game and Watch: Mario Bros came out March 14 of 1983. This Mario Bros came out July 14 of 1983.
@Pedro GonzalesIf you wanna check the dates, use wikipedia or some other site for dates. You can check gameplay of the game and watch on youtube to see that it has luigi
The first video game I ever played. My Auntie took me to the Laundry Mat back in the Mid 80's gave me a quarter and I played this while she was washing clothes. 1985 or 86' to be exact. I was 4 or 5 years old and needed a step stool! The Original Mario Bros, Ms. Pac Man and Dig Dug are all tied for my favorite Video Game of All time! and I can say I love my Atari 7800 who brought great versions of all three of these games!
Soo decent! Love this version. We made a Mario tribute video and definitely snuck some love for this game in there! Call me crazy, but despite all the characters and worlds and power-ups and gameplays, this is the best incarnation of Mario Bros.
I can't tell you how many times that when I played this, I thought it had Super Mario Bros physics, i.e. that you could change jumping direction mid-air.
How is it that nobody has made a hack that removes the squeaking sound from the arcade game? It's kinda annoying. The walking sound from the NES version is a lot easier on the ears.
@@RodConvoy1987 The game actually does, albiet due to a glitch in the game's programming. Once you reach over 975-990k points (depends on what the machine's rate of giving extra lives is set to), the game's routine for 'what next score threshold has to be passed to get another bonus life' overflows since you can only have up to 999999 points, causing it to think that the next bonus-life score is 0 points instead. And of course, since you have way above that amount of points, it'll give you a bonus life every frame when it does the check. After a few seconds, this'll cause your life counter to overflow from 255 to 0 (gotta love 8-bit arithmetic!), and the game will automatically declare a game over if the lives counter ever reaches 0, even if the player hasn't actually died to cause it. So thus, whatever Phase you end up getting such a score on (coincidentally this is around Phase 98-99 at optimal play) is the end of the game.
The graphics actually look really really good for 1983 I think the graphics here are a little better than in the original Mario brothers for the Nintendo
Just so you know the sound effects are SOOO much better coming out of the arcade cabinets speakers. There probably was an issue with capturing the audio for this video
Here's a long story of how I would make a Mario back story during the early days, Mario and Luigi were brought up by the stork just like in Yoshi's Island and lived in the mushroom kingdom until they grew up and went through sewer pipes to the real world specifically Brooklyn, New York. Mario preferred to stay in Brooklyn over the Mushroom kingdom while Luigi stayed home and then the Donkey Kong arcade games take place. Mario meets Pauline and has a rivalry with Donkey Kong and became a carpenter. After Donkey Kong 2 after feeling bad for being the bad guy, he retires as a carpenter and became a plumber and let Stanley deal with DK. Meanwhile Mario convinces Luigi to come to Brooklyn and that's when the Mario Bros arcade game took place. After getting rid of the turtles and crabs, Mario breaks up with Pauline by telling her he's seeing an old special someone (Peach) and moves back into the Mushroom kingdom with Luigi starting the Super Mario Bros NES game we all know and love. As for DK and DK Jr, they move back to the jungles and then DK III from the Donkey Kong Country series is born while DK Jr mysteriously disappeared. That's how I would do a back story of Mario in the early days.
Ending: Mario goes into the magical pipe which brings him into the ultimate dimension known as the 3D lands where he jumps out of the other end and is in the intro of Super Mario 64! Now you know!
"You can´t even" lol you doofus 😂 This is from 1983, two full years before Super Mario Bros. came out and the stomping concept wasn´t even a thing back then. smh

Well, you CAN jump on them... After you tip them over that is
Why did I read this with Wesker's voice.

The plot of this game honestly sounds like a horror movie. Two plumbers go into the sewers and encounter a bunch of monsters.
But literally this game brings back memories
"Maaaario, where ARE you?"
I remember playing this on my GBA back then it's such a nostalgia trip
Mario Advance version or NES classics?
I said GBA lol

The squeaking sound actually fits if you eat a mushroom in your fridge. I can't explain but it's very satisfying.

Oh god why did they think this game needed footstep sounds?
+Sarah Watt (NuclearSarah) I agree, the game looks fun the foot step sound is really annoying.
+TheDutchGhost Both NES versions abandoned the footstep sound and replaced it with a more plesant sound
The original arcade game had a softer footstep sound, and it was changed to be more accurate to the original in MAME 0.185

Happy Fortieth birthday Mario bros
I remember playing this in a local bar in 1984. One of the best arcade games ever made
"Wait, Mario doesn't stomp on em?"
I remember when we used to just hit the fireballs for more points, and extra lives.
It's kind of funny how many people think Chris Pratt got the game wrong when they themselves for some reason don't even know this game exists and is technically the game that started the whole formula.

true classic. playing either co-op or vs. with another was always a hoot. the gba remakes for the super mario advance series are inferior
Majoras I loved the GBA version of classic Mario Bros.
The GBA Mario Bros. remaster is so much better than the original.
My dad had this arcade game in his old shop when I was growing up. His employees rigged it where I didn't have to put money in. Oooh good times
I don't think this game stops,it just keeps going until you lose all your lives.
No known kill screen.
Daniel Graham
just the essense of life, you keep alive until finally you die,
whatever we do, we keep facing death
I wonder if you used emulator and had unlimited lives and bot and leave it on for like years what would happen
XD OMG the sound of his steps! Make it stop!!!
-BETMARK-
to be fair, you *can* stomp on them after you knock them over 😂
I love playing this game while listening to the beastie boys album license to ill. The golden years of hip hop.
0:38 Chris Pratt footage
Chris Pratt could stomp on them. Just a skill difference between you and him, I guess.
You'd think this version came first, but apparently, it was the Game & Watch version.
So the Game & Watch version was the REAL debut of Luigi.

Yeah, gonna be honest, this was never too interesting even when I was playing the Advance ports. Still, at least that version had jumping control!
Oh God that last level looks just torture.
I guess he got tired of playing it so he just wanted to end it by dying
How is it that nobody has made a hack that removes the squeaking sound from the arcade game? It's kinda annoying. The walking sound from the NES version is a lot easier on the ears.

I had a local arcade where I used to live, this was the only classic arcade machine they had that still took quarters.
Nintendo just announced that this game is going to be released in a couple of weeks as part of the Arcade Archives on the Nintendo Switch.
Philip Doctor Yes. For the first time on any Nintendo system in its original arcade form.
Zachary Noah Yes, indeed. 😊
So where is it? I haven't seen it
So this is basically the first Mario game?
amyvitality66 Yes, the grandfather of everything Mario of today...
amyvitality66 In donkeykong you play as mario too but he was not called mario backthen.
amyvitality66 Mario began in Donkey Kong. This is actually the first Luigi game.
amyvitality66 I think Wrecking Crew was the first ?
SuperHns No, it's this. I think Wrecking Crew was only released on the NES.
The real debut of luigi is in the ARCADE VERSION ONLY donky kong jr the 2 marios 1 of them is luigi
I remembered playin' this at Disneyworld, it was a 3 in 1 arcade machine that had this, Donkey Kong, and Donkey Kong Jr.
