Mario Bros. Wide Body is my favorite arcade cab. I love the art, I love the texture of the CP and Bezel, I love the controls, I love the wideness, I love the overall presentation. It is like a deluxe Nintendo cab. It is special and if I ever see one for sale around here in my tiny town I will probably try to get it.
Mario Bros is for me one of the best arcade games ever
+Christopher Herdt it's great
Great info. I just purchased my first arcade game, an original Double Dragon 1987 with a 621 conversion. The main reason I was able to buy was my wife said as long as it has Mario and Super Mario and Tetris on it. Thank goodness the Elf 621 did😄👍🏼. In my 40s and I'm loving playing the games I grew up with and showing my 2 boys under 10 the 8-bit awesomeness 👍🏼 Thank you for teaching and keeping this part of our childhood alive. Coin Up !!!!
You mentioned the 100 volt plug. Standard electrical outlets in Japan only run on 100 volts AC. So rather than redesign the components for US voltage when selling the cabinets to the American market, they added a step-down transformer that converts the 120 volts to 100 volts. Cabinets sold to the UK and Europe would have a 240/100 step-down transformer.
technically Luigi made a cameo in DK Jr. (right at the beginning)
I can still crush this game. Great vid.
Very cool cabinet John. I got a widebody Mario Bros on eBay a few years ago and painted it. Had a new cap kit installed before I bought it. She looks a little rough still, but plays great. I've gotten out of the arcade gaming hobby since then, but it's still a fun machine. I need to finish restoring it but that will have to wait, I have a tractor that I am rebuilding now. Two completely different hobbies, eh?
I have a Mario Bros. cabinet but I custom ordered a control panel plate where the Mario side is red instead of blue. I never figured out how to set it to Free Play so I just use the classic quarter on a fishing line trick.
wow! your over under coin door explanation really helped me. thank you!
Sweet arcade collection, John. You are truly blessed!
You have some really nice cabs in your collection buddy. Thanks for pointing out the differences in a conversion & an original dedicated. Keep up the cool vids
I just passed up a MBWB for a Burgertime. I love Burgertime but MB will always be on my list to pick up!
I couldn't help but mention in Japan there's a quite obscure version of Super Mario Bros. known as Super Mario Bros. Special, and it has five enemies from both Donkey Kong and Mario Bros., a nice shoutout to Mario's earlier titles.
Great video as always! I'm going to a Mario Bros competition today at my local arcade, I must admit I am pretty bad at this one, never could get used to the slippy-slidy movement, thanks for the the review and of course the gameplay tips! :)
A barcade near me has an orange Popeye and a blue Donkey Kong Junior, I'm assuming that is due to those conversion kits you were talking about
Yes, for sure. They should switch them. :)
Hey John, I just picked up a wide body Mario Bros today!!!! Not in mint condition, in fact quite close to the condition you got yours in (as I noticed on your web page). Thanks for the wicked review, I'll be using it as a guide to help in my restore.
Okay Hear Me Out Mario Bros Game & Watch Was Released On March 14, 1983
Mario Bros Arcade Was Released On July 14 1983 This Means Luigi's First Appearance Was The Game & Watch Port One Month Before The Arcade's Release So Technically Luigi's Second Appearance Is Basically Mario Bros For The Arcade
The coin counter is suppose to work with the coin switch. Free play or not, the switch triggures the counter. Its lower than it should be because how long it hasnt worked is unknown.
Pumping out the videos this week John! Great channel - i have learnt a lot about arcade tech from your videos
You should start this as a arcade! I would visit!
I would definitely want the actual Japanese cabinet for Donkey Kong 1,2, & 3. Mario Bros. was an entirely different animal. Literally.
Mario Bros. really is a classic. Though I can't help but consider the NES version an arcade classic of its own as well.
Wonderful review my friend! This has always been one of my favorite classic arcade games (always wanted to get the dedicated one to go with my pins). When I was a kid, this was the ONLY game I could compete on at Putt Putt Golf 'n Games. I won the game-of-the week once with the highest score. Large pizza and 30 tokens, bazing! Lol. Thanks for the vids.
funny you mention firsts, this game introduces the POW block which was a huge deal in Super Mario Bros. 2 on the NES in the US. works the same way, flipping enemies over.
Wonderful video John! Very good point about this being the very first game to introduce Luigi, the green pipes and the turtles. It's a very important part of Mario's history and where it started. I guess they decided not to use the Crabs or Fly's very much after this game or did they?
Your difficulty is set to EASY instead of the standard MEDIUM but for a game this hard I can certainly understand why. The differences are when the green fireballs start and later when the red fireballs start.
With some good practice you can certainly beat the top score of 300K on your first man.
Wait a second... are you sure?? I should have my game set to the standard TG settings! You think it's set easy!?!
John's Arcade Game Reviews & Tech Yep, I'm sure. You even mention it on phase 7 ("I'm surprised I haven't had a fireball come out to get me.") at exactly the same time I look at it to see which difficulty the game is set at. Check your dips to see what they are set for. MEDIUM should be all dips off and the last one on. However, I have seen broken dips giving out the wrong difficulty just recently. For example, EASY really being HARD and vice versa. In that case you will have to test them all to figure out what's what.
Whomp it’s interesting to note that crabs (and hammers from Donkey Kong) were featured in Hudson Soft’s “Super Mario Bros. Special”, released in 1986 for various Japanese PC’s. Hudson has earlier done ports and special versions of Nintendo games for Japanese PC’s, including Mario Bros. Special and Punch Ball Mario Bros.
It should be known that the melody that sounds like Petula Clark's "Downtown" was only used for the console ports of this game, not the arcade version seen here.
Your machines are Beautiful.
Would love to go on a warehouse raid with John and chat retro games
0:04 i see you play frogger
Excellent Video!! :D
Yeah, I have Wrecking Crew for the Nintendo Vs. It's awesome!
Yes, Vs. Super Mario Bros. IS the arcade version. The PC-10 version is exactly the same as the NES version.
Your video about burger time is pretty good for being one of your old videos
nice to see that mario actually looks close to the modern day mario on the side art compared to the first donkey kong game.
My fav. game of all time. I won't tell you my high score. I will tell ya the game difficulty levels off at phase 37. With standard dip switch settings.A -G = OFF and H = ON . Things are moving at there fastest then. FUN game, I agree even more FUN with 2 people!!!! THX for review!!! As always Long Live Arcades!!!
Review the SUPER MARIO BROS it really had an arcade machine of it's own!
I let a friend borrow it. I also have DK3 in my Junior cabinet and it's switchable.
This is what I’m definitely having in my basement.
Great review John. I dont think I've ever played the original wide body version. I played this game in the arcades 84-85 time frame, and I'm pretty sure it was a conversion.
I noticed there's a difference in monitor angles for the Mario Bros vs Donkey Kong cabs. Is this true for narrow body as well as wide body versions? Working on a Mario Bros narrow body restore myself.
Yeah, the DK style cabinets have the monitor at a greater angle away from your. The wide body has the monitor more at 90 degrees
A time when video games were challenging
kinda makes sense that mario originally was a carpenter or possibly a construction worker... anyone remember "Wrecking Crew" for NES?
First time i played mario bros, i where all like ''Danm!, Mario is slipperey. '''
I have this game on the Nintendo entertainment system.
Wowww, want a cookie dumbass?
Job thanks a lot for all the info on this game. I pick up my wide body Mario Bros cab this month along with a Dk Jr and a Popeye!!! So stoked!
No, there's no 2P VS mode in the original Mario Bros., just 2P Co-op.
In this age of downloadables at a budget, I think Nintendo should come back and made a very updated version to this fantastic classic. Plenty of new enemies. Stage bosses. New board designs. But, keep the two player VS idea and non-moving screen in tact. I know they once did it for the Virtual Boy. But, they need to try again for the WiiU...or at least the 3DS with wireless connectivity.
I am surprised you didn't do a review of the backdoor for Phet! :)
Not that i'd ever do this but, what keeps someone from taking the book "project arcade" and the design in it modifying it for the dimensions and making a dedicated arcade cabinet from that? The speaker grill in the middle wouldn't be exactly the worlds best give away at that point. I'm assuming you'd want some kind of secondary method, other key signs to look for to help be sure it is. I mean if your really THAT specific just curious
Missed out on one for free by minutes here in Ireland sick :(
Jaysus that was a donedeal😁.
I love the art work of the as old arcade cabs are they all vinal sticker and if so wear could I get it to decorate a cab of my own
thanks
I still think if you and your friend made some videos playing doubles on MB's that people would love to see it. You don't have to go for the WR or anything. Just put a score on the scoreboard. You can submit a double score with POW and another score for NO POW doubles. For NO POW doubles you are just trying to beat 118K to be in 5th place. It's a doable goal.
Tm1 on atari cabs tm1 usually refers to trademark and order of list category to find the trademark a really old technique for category and class of machine nothing really important
"I probably haven't opened this back door in like, 3 years" - TWSS
If that game was made today, it would have to be a free range PCB huh? :)
Hey did you know if you buy it on switch you can use restore points to not die
Awesome review John. Very informative! Keep em coming! :)
Thanks John
Thats good to know.
Great Video, But then you knew I would say that!!! Enjoyed the video !! I learned a few things about Mario Bros. ,that I didn't already know. THX ,, John
Can u review molybius 😂😱
It did? As far as I'm concerned, it was only on the PlayChoice-10, and the Nintendo VS. system as VS. Super Mario Bros.
I enjoyed this a lot thank you.
If anything, it might shorten the life of the light. I wouldn't sweat it.
only played this on smb3 on nes. wish could play with 1 player.
this channel is getting better and better! look out luke
I really wish you'd can that music in the background.
This guy is mario
Mario's Name Used To Be Jump Man
I remembered that game back in the arcade but i have really play only the versus version on snes who comes in "Super mario all star", one of best versus game ever done -) Is it a versus option in this ?
Hmmm... I'll have to see what my Burgertime video is like. I bet it sucks. :) Might have to redo that one too! :)
So basically this is the foruth arcade game for mario becuase the 3rd one was donkey kong 3 so yeah just though you'd like to know that
Thank you, sir! I will. :)
Did you mean to leave out punch out or did you purposefully leave it out?
Thanks, bro! :)
Good stuff, thanks!
I have this game, but I have a problem. Does anyone know why my background might be white instead of black. Also, some of the words/sentences have a rectangular shaped block around them. I figured it must be a monitor issue, but I'm not sure. I can see some burn marks from the game on the screen since the background is white. Please help. Thanks all.
Wow I just got my original mario bros arcade. It says #4. What number does your say?
I have already reviewed Tapper! Check out my other vids!
What happened to the donkey kong three?
John great video but PLEASE REVIEW TAPPER that cab looks amazing :D
I know where I can get one of these machines for very cheap is it worth taking? Whether it works or not?
I have this on my switch And Donkey Kong And versus super Mario Bros
Reveiw Star Wars and Return of the Jedi arcade,please
My DKJ marquee light fixture was missing so I purchased a new 16" flouresent light fixture from the home depot, cut off the plug and connected it to the existing wires hanging behind the marquee. It works fine now but is a 120 volt fixture running off a 100 volts. Can this damage the original transformer or power supply? You've got me worried now. I hate when one of my games marquees aren't lit.
Great vids John
By now your arcade cabinet is broken.
More burger time!
good video
lol! Yeah, I saw that too. I should have commented on it. :)
I have this same arcade with a backup PCB. I am wanting to use the second board for another game. I can't find the PPU (this has two circuit boards together..I assume for the vs. play) Are there any games that are compatible with this one that I can program on the EPROMS? I couldn't find any on your website for this game.
No, this game is unique and it's not a Nintendo Vs. game. It will stay a Mario Bros.
Can you make that donkey kong 3 to dk jr. setup to make a donkey kong and crazy kong in 1 game?
me, my bro, and sister would play this on the commodore 64 back in the day. we would actually play against each other all the time and it was a blast. i don't know why we enjoyed destroying each other so much. john, your new arcade outsiders podcast is hilarious. i want to bring up a few topics for discussion. i own a few stand ups and a getaway 2 pinball machine but my true passion are the old school vfd handheld mini games. did you enjoy those as a kid? they are tough games. do you do email?
2019
Oh, ok! I got it!! Cause it's in a cage. LOL!
I tried to register for your VideoGameOutsiders but AOL blocked the email and now I can't create an account with a different Email.
Johns arcade or anyone help me out I need help. I have a 83 mario bros. everything works great but I can not die on the gameplay? Any info on how to change that? Thx
do you saw the video of mario bros that luigi say mario where are you!!
You can play head to head against another player.
i played mario bros already..
You probably could copy a Ferrari too. :)
