Return of Mario Bros.

Kaettekita Mario Bros. is a game for the Family Computer Disk System released on November 30, 1988. It is an updated version of Mario Bros. that was released only in Japan,[1] although a 1993 Europe-only cartridge re-release resembles it,[2]using the same enemy sprites and colors from this game.

Game modes[edit]
The game has several modes that can be accessed from the main menu.

Original Mario Bros.[edit]
This mode plays similarly to the Mario Bros. that was released to arcades. However, there are several differences.
 * Some new levels were added.
 * Mario and Luigi can now change direction in mid-air (much like modern remakes).
 * The graphics and music were improved somewhat.
 * High scores can now be saved.
 * Advertisements appeared between levels. Some were for other Mario games, such as Super Mario Bros. 3. Others were for the Japanese food company Nagatanien, who sponsored this game.

Nagatanien World[edit]
This mode is similar to Original Mario Bros., but two additional features are active: This promotion was active from November 30, 1988 to May 31, 1989.
 * After losing all lives and receiving a game over, players will be given the chance to play a Slot Machine Minigame. Should they get a match, they will be allowed to continue their game without the score and phase counters resetting. However, this area can only be visited once per game.
 * Nagatanien (永谷園) - 4 extra lives
 * Three matches- 2 extra lives
 * Two matches - 1 extra life
 * After reaching 100,000 points, players are given promotional codes that can be mailed in to be entered in a drawing for Mario playing cards. At 200,000 points, players are given another code for a copy of Super Mario Bros. 3, which released one month earlier in Japan for the Family Computer. All players who send in codes receive a free Mario keyring.

Name registration[edit]
Players one and two may register their name, age, and gender. These are used when a high score is broken and to refer to players with honorifics appropriate for their gender.
