Mario Bros. II is a platform game for Commodore 64.[1] It is unrelated to Nintendo and their Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels games. It is presented as an amateur fan sequel to the Game & Watch game Mario Bros.
Gameplay[]
Mario Bros. II is inspired by the Game & Watch title Mario Bros., as envisioned for Commodore 64 supposedly as a sequel to the arcade version. Like the arcade Mario Bros., the game consists of a single screen for gameplay.[3][5] The player simultaneously controls both Mario and Luigi as they work in a factory creating cakes for a harsh employer.[1] The brothers build cakes by moving vertically to transfer items between the conveyor belts which are oriented to operate in alternating directions. Missing an item causes the player to lose a life, with game over reached when the player has no remaining lives.[1]
Development[]
The game was developed by amateur Commodore 64 programming group Thundersoft, a sub-group of the Dutch demo group RIFFS that would meet at the Oosterhout Computer Club.[6] The unofficial effort was not a port, and was never commercially available. It was only distributed as PD software to demonstrate the coders' skills at porting the game.
