Kaettekita Mario Bros.

Kaettekita Mario Bros. (translates to Return of Mario Bros., or Mario Bros. Returns) was a revision of Mario Bros. released November 30, 1988 for the Famicom Disk System for Japan only. The game featured a few revisions, as well as some added features for Mario Bros. fans.

Upgrades from Mario Bros.

 * Gameplay closer to the original arcade game, being that the Famicom/NES versions, while very close to the arcade, were missing features of the original arcade release. It also included some all new levels.


 * Players' ability to change direction while in mid-air.


 * Improved graphics and music (due to the FDS' extra sound chip) over both the arcade and Famicom versions.


 * Option to save players' High Score.


 * More game modes.


 * Japanese-flavoured cut-scenes and advertisements. This includes an advertisement for Super Mario Bros. 3, which happened to be released in late 1988 in Japan.


 * Sponsorship from "Nagatanien", a Japanese food company (an ad for "Mario Curry" appears next to the SMB 3 ad).
