Kaettekita Mario Bros. is a game for the Family Computer Disk System released on November 30, 1988. It is an updated version of Mario Bros. that was released only in Japan,[1] although a 1993 Europe-only cartridge re-release resembles it,[2] using the same enemy sprites and colors from this game. Excluding ports, this is the last Mario Famicom game.
Game modes[]
The game has several modes that can be accessed from the main menu.
Original Mario Bros.[]
This mode plays similarly to the Mario Bros. that was released to arcades. However, there are several differences.
- Some new levels were added.
- Mario and Luigi can now change direction in mid-air (much like modern remakes).
- The graphics and music were improved somewhat.
- High scores can now be saved.
- Advertisements appeared between levels. Some were for other Mario games, such as Super Mario Bros. 3. Others were for the Japanese food company Nagatanien, who sponsored this game.
Nagatanien World[]
This mode is similar to Original Mario Bros., but two additional features are active:
- After losing all lives and receiving a game over, players will be given the chance to play a Slot Machine Minigame. Should they get a match, they will be allowed to continue their game without the score and phase counters resetting. However, this area can only be visited once per game.
- Nagatanien (永谷園) - 4 extra lives
- Three matches- 2 extra lives
- Two matches - 1 extra life
- After reaching 100,000 points, players are given promotional codes that can be mailed in to be entered in a drawing for Mario playing cards. At 200,000 points, players are given another code for a copy of Super Mario Bros. 3, which released one month earlier in Japan for the Family Computer. All players who send in codes receive a free Mario keyring.
This promotion was active from November 30, 1988 to May 31, 1989.
Name registration[]
Players one and two may register their name, age, and gender. These are used when a high score is broken and to refer to players with honorifics appropriate for their gender.
Notices[]
In this mode, a Shellcreeper explains the promotional features of Nagatanien World.
