[edit] "Freezie" Redirect

I typed "Freezie" in the search bar and was unceremoniously brought to this page which seems to have little to do with freezies of any variety (for the record, I was hoping to learn about the frozen treat that comes in a tube). I don't see why it should redirect here. Am I missing something? Dindon (talk) 17:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)Dindon

Freezie is a Mario enemy that had an article on Wikipedia, and was redirected to this article when it was deemed non-notable. - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Levels

Just as the Pac-Man wiki page explains what the maximum level is and what happens after it is completed (LV256, the split-screen level), this page should explain how high Mario Bros can go and what happens when the highest stage is completed. I remember seeing online somewhere that it can go up to Phase 255 or 256, though the Phase # is listed as Phase 99 for every phase over 99 too (so 100, 101, 102, etc are all listed as Phase 99). The page should also state if there are any differences between version (i.e. arcade, NES, etc) in the game's final stage. --Thirdmoon 19:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Mario Bros. Classic"

I have a version of Mario Bros., known only as "Mario Bros. Classic", which shows a short cut scene before each group of phases.

Before Phase 1, it there is a cut scene of Mario jumping to knock a shellcreeper over, and then jumping up and kicking it. During this cut scene, text appears: Shellcreeper ... 1 hit flips it over!! ... Jumpup!! [sic] ... Kick off when upside down!!

Phase 3 is a normal stage with Shellcreepers.

Phase 4 is a coin stage.

Before Phase 5, a cutscene depicts Mario defeating a Sidestepper. Text appears: Sidestepper ... "1st hit" makes it mad!! ... "2nd hit" flips it over!!" ... Jumpup!! [sic] ... Kick off when upside down!!

Phase 6 is a stage with Shellcreepers and Sidesteppers.

Before Phase 7, a cutscene introduces the Fighter Flies, with Mario defeating one. Text appears: Fighter Fly ... Only when touching floor!! ... 1 hit flips it over!! ... Jumpup [sic] ... Kick off when upside down!!

Phase 7 has Fighter Flies.

Phase 8 has Fighter Flies and Sidesteppers.

Phase 9 is an ice-covered coin stage.

Before Phase 10, a cutscene depicts 2 Slipice coming out of pipes. Mario jumps up and defeats one, then the other one freezes a platform.

Phase 10 has Shellcreepers, Fighter Flies, and Slipice.

Does anyone know what version of the game this would be? It is a NES game, and the cutscenes make me doubt it is a hack. --71.232.113.67 15:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Read about it here - it's real, but it was only released in Germany, France, and Netherlands. A shame, too - it's far better than the initial version they released. --Quietust 02:32, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Didn't they rerelease it as part of Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3? 99.230.152.143 (talk) 00:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] PC Version?

I am almost certain that as a child, I played this on a DOS based PC. - MSTCrow 06:11, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there was - a VGA version released in 1990 by Save Sharpless.

[edit] Palm Version

http://www.ardiri.com/index.php?redir=palm&cat=maryobros

This version was released briefly for 9 months in 2001 as an unlicensed clone. Nintendo forced this company to remove it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.117.164.28 (talk) 17:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism

Someone vandalized the Gameplay part of this, so I edited it back to the way it was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.117.229.206 (talk) 00:37, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mario Bros Theme = "Downtown"?

If you listen to the title theme, and compare it to the chorus of "Downtown" by Petula Clark, you'll find them to be very similar. --66.134.7.124 (talk) 23:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
