About This Game
Arcade-exclusive features include upgraded sprite graphics, modified level designs, and the competitive Vs. Mode where two players alternate turns competing for high scores.
While maintaining the core gameplay of the NES original, this version adjusted difficulty and pacing for arcade environments with shorter play sessions in mind.
The Vs. Mode became so popular it inspired the NES game 'Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels' in Japan and was featured in Nintendo's PlayChoice-10 arcade systems.
Served as a bridge between console and arcade gaming, proving Nintendo's flagship could succeed in both markets during the golden age of arcades.
