Mario Bros. is a Game & Watch game by Nintendo released in 1983. Despite the title, it is unrelated in gameplay to the Mario Bros. arcade game.

The game is a multi-screen game, with Luigi on the left screen and Mario on the right screen. The brothers are working in a bottling plant, moving packages between the various levels of the bottling machine. The game's clamshell design is unusual in the series, it is one of only three Multi Screen games which open horizontally like a book (in the Japanese right to left reading order) and not vertically (like the Nintendo DS does).

The only controls for the game are up and down buttons for each brother. Mario first get a pallet out of the machine on the lowest level and puts in on the conveyor belt. Luigi then takes it from the other side and puts it on the belt above it. There are 3 points on each side the brothers must do this. Finally, once the package is filled Luigi tosses it onto the delivery truck. Once the truck is full the brothers get a short break. If the brothers should drop a pallet they will be yelled at by their bosses. Drop 3 pallets and it is game over. Repeat ad infinitum.

In the remakes of this game for Game & Watch Gallery 3 and 4, Mario and Luigi are catching what becomes a cake, and then boxed and wrapped up for delivery.

Like nearly all Game & Watch titles there is the standard Game A and harder Game B, plus the clock and alarm shared with all Game & Watch titles.
