Free classic arcade runner
Screenshots
Super Mario Bros is a free classic arcade running game that you can play on your mobile Android device. Once you download it, you’ll have the same stages and premise, letting you run across levels to save Princess Peach from the villainous Bowser. Other games that feature this iconic protagonist include Super Mario Run and LEGO Super Mario.
The movement is made easy for mobile with onscreen controls. You’ll jump and run in the same fashion, exploring different levels as you try to overcome your enemies. There are even water levels where you must swim to the end to reach the next stage. If you lose all your lives, you need to start again.
Run through levels
As with the classic Super Mario Bros from the original Nintendo console, you’ll play as the protagonist Mario. Each level has a different design, becoming more challenging as you progress through them. Some sewers help you skip levels, but there’s no fun in that, and you’ll miss out on high scores.
Overcome enemies
Not only do the levels change for each stage in Super Mario Bros., enemies become bigger and harder to overcome. While you can hop on or shoot some of them, you may need to avoid others altogether. Bowser is the main boss at the end of each world, becoming more monstrous as you head towards the end.
Easy controls
While the original Super Mario Bros had control pads in mind, the Android version lets you control the hero with touchscreen controls. There aren’t many movements to learn, as you’ll mainly run, jump, and sometimes shoot when you power up. You’ll also have a few levels where you need to swim by tapping the jump button.
Run, Mario, Run
It’s the ideal time to play Super Mario Bros on Android, with the latest movie adaptation being such a massive hit. You’ll love returning to the classic on your mobile device, trying to complete levels in a new way.
It’s just a pity it’s a direct port with no additional multiplayer features to make it more modern, such as online leaderboards.
