message: I typed "Freezie" in the search bar and was unceremoniously brought to this page which seems to have little to do with freezies of any variety (for the record, I was hoping to learn about the frozen treat that comes in a tube). I don't see why it should redirect here. Am I missing something? Dindon (talk) 17:06, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Just as the Pac-Man wiki page explains what the maximum level is and what happens after it is completed (LV256, the split-screen level), this page should explain how high Mario Bros can go and what happens when the highest stage is completed. I remember seeing online somewhere that it can go up to Phase 255 or 256, though the Phase # is listed as Phase 99 for every phase over 99 too (so 100, 101, 102, etc are all listed as Phase 99). The page should also state if there are any differences between version (i.e. arcade, NES, etc) in the game's final stage. --Thirdmoon 19:33, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

This version was released briefly for 9 months in 2001 as an unlicensed clone.  Nintendo forced this company to remove it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.117.164.28 (talk) 17:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

message: If you listen to the title theme, and compare it to the chorus of "Downtown" by Petula Clark, you'll find them to be very similar. --66.134.7.124 (talk) 23:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No doubt, which raises this question: wouldn't songwriter Tony Hatch and/or the singer, Petula Clark, have sued Nintendo and the Mario Bros. jingle writer Yukio Kaneoka sometime ago if that were the case? It should be known that the piece of music you mention applies only to the home versions of the game; neither the arcade version nor the Atari 8-bit computer (excepting the later XEGS version which did use a version of the song you mention) and 5200 versions had a title theme.

message: Replacementdocs doesn't own the copyright, nor has licensed Nintendo to publish it, therefore it is copyright infringement. Linking to them is not an option, since we cannot link to a site we know is breaking copyright. It would be similar to link to a torrent file of a movie so that others can get to see the movie to know where it is being used as reference. -- ReyBrujo (talk) 02:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

message: Seriously? This is the official article about "Super Mario Bros" and all we get is a screenshot of Mario for the VIRTUAL BOY? Why not Hotel Mario, while we´re at it!?
I am aware of copyright issues, but I simply cannot believe that there is no way to get a proper Mario screenshot into this article, it is probably the most-shot game on the internet.
People who don´t know about the series (I heard from reliable sources that there exist a few) could assume that this is a, if not the main game. 
It´s like having a gourmet recipe with turds as reference pictures. Get rid of that, please.

text: Super Mario Bros. is is not a direct sequel of Mario Bros., nor does it have similar gameplay, unlike Mario Clash.  Do notice the section that features the screenshot that seems to offend you so much does not mention Super Mario Bros., and it is intended.  This is not "a Super Mario article", as you say -- this game is not part of the Super Mario (series). Salvidrim! 22:11, 16 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Screenshots

message: I was just wondering what is the source for the June 1, 1983 release date that is claimed in this article.  At around 30 seconds in this Nintendo Direct video, Satoru Iwata says the game was first released on July 14, 1983.  Is the release date wrong in the article?  If so, I think it should be changed to July 14, 1983. The1337gamer (talk) 20:32, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

message: The article states that icicles "were not included in the NES version." In fact, while they were not in the NTSC (NA) NES version, they were in the PAL (EU) NES version released in 1986. According to Mario Wiki, they were also in the Japanese version of the game, released in 1983. If anyone can find a suitable citation, the article should be changed.

message: Is Super Mario Bros. a true sequel to Mario Bros.? If so, then that relationship should be mentioned in the article. If not, then we should at least clarify what the relationship between Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. is, in this article.  The article on Super Mario Bros. calls it a successor to Mario Bros.. We need to clarify just what the relationship between Mario Bros. and Super Marios Bros. is in this article. --Notcharliechaplin (talk) 21:16, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
