World 1-1 in Super Mario Bros..

Super Mario Bros. (スーパーマリオブラザーズ, Sūpā Mario Burazāzu), sometimes referred to as Super Mario or SMB, is a 1985 platforming video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The plot is about a hero named Mario, who goes on a journey to save Princess Peach from the clutches of the evil Bowser, King of the Koopas, and restore peace to the land of the Mushroom Kingdom. Having sold immensely well, Super Mario Bros. is famous for popularizing the side-scrolling genre and it has been remade and ported on many Nintendo consoles.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

Mario and his brother Luigi are the only two characters representing their series in Super Smash Bros. and have become staples in the games ever since. In addition, Bowser and Peach are playable in both Super Smash Bros. Melee, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Super Smash Bros. 4.

In addition, many items from this game, namely the Super Mushroom, the Fire Flower, the Starman, the Springboard, and the Green and Red Shells made their first initial appearances in this game. Other characters and enemies, such as Toad, Goomba, and Koopa Troopa appeared in the Super Smash Bros. series either as trophies, common enemies, or parts of character's attacks.

Also, the Mushroom Kingdom stage in Super Smash Bros. and Mushroom Kingdom stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee are based graphically on how they looked in Super Mario Bros. In addition, Brawl's Mushroomy Kingdom is based on the look of the game's World 1-1 and World 1-2.

Additionally, Mario's outfit when Fire Mario is present in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. 4 as his white costume. Likewise, Luigi's outfit as Small/Super Luigi is present in SSB and Melee. It is also in Brawl and SSB4, but it favors his Fire Luigi outfit in later games more. (In Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3, Luigi and Mario share the same Fire colors.)

Mario also has a taunt appearing in all 4 games referencing this game; when Mario grows, he stands in the same stance (body facing towards player, with head turned 90 degrees) as he does in Super Mario Bros.

The game's name may have inspired the name of the English versions of the Smash games.

Super Mario Bros. is one of the selectable Masterpieces in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
