Game Description

Do you have what it takes to save the Mushroom Princess?

You'll have to think fast and move even faster to complete this quest! The Mushroom Princess is being held captive by the evil Koopa tribe of turtles. It's up to you to rescue her from the clutches of the Koopa King before time runs out. But it won't be easy. To get to the Princess, you'll have to climb mountains, cross seas, avoid bottomless pits, fight off turtle soldiers and host of black magic traps that only a Koopa King can devise. It's another non-stop adventure from the SUPER MARIO BROS.!

Tips

  • Power Booster Mushrooms move to the right. Don't let them escape!
  • Stomp on Lakitus from above. It's hard, but it's the only way to stop them.
  • There are Warp Zones in levels 1 - 2 and 4 - 2. Use them to travel to other worlds.
  • Stomp on the front of the shell of the Koopa Troopa hopping down the steps of a pyramid at the end of some worlds. You can collect as many extra lives as you wish by timing your jumps just right as the Koopa Troopa bounces back and forth between Mario and the side of the next step, up to 100.
