When you play Super Mario Bros. the first time, it is never a good idea to beat it quickly. You need to explore the world of Mario and get an idea of the story of the game. It is a fun game to play even if it is 24 years old. It still had the chance to sell over 40 million copies. Here are some tips on how to beat Super Mario Bros.
Don't neglect the coins - You will play the game over and over and you will still not have enough to get to the final Bowser. That is why you need to pay attention and collect all the coins you see. For every 100 coins, you receive another Mario. The lives stack up if you can get the coins. By the time you get to Bowser in the end, you should have plenty to deal with.
Run on the ceiling - This is a cheat that works if you don't want to get the story of Mario. You can run on the ceilings of all levels of a cave. This will knock off some time of the level and you will be able to beat Super Mario Bros. quickly. In the levels with a cave, you don't have to worry about falling down a ravine when you can simply avoid everything and get to the top.
Look for 1UP's- They are everywhere if you can just look. There are many throughout the world of Mario and you can really have a nice time in the levels if you have a lot of lives. When you get the lives, you will have no problems at all in completing the levels and not have to worry on whether you are going to die quickly and have to start over.
With remakes and other sequels, Super Mario Bros. is still the best game and you can easily find hints and cheats if you search around the world of
Mario. And always remember run under Bowser, not over him.
