Family Computer Disk System

The Family Computer Disk System, or Famicom Disk System, is an add-on peripheral for the Family Computer. It was released in February 21, 1986. Certain games were developed specifically for the Family Computer Disk System, for which they were released on a proprietary floppy disk medium rather than a standard Famicom cartridge.
The Family Computer's western counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System, never received its own add-on equivalent, so several games originally released as Family Computer Disk System titles were released overseas on a cartridge medium for the Nintendo Entertainment System.
==Mario games==
The first Mario game released for the Famicom Disk System is Super Mario Bros., which was among the launch titles. This re-release occurred a few months after the game's original release on the Family Computer.
The most well-known Mario game for the Family Computer Disk System is Super Mario Bros. 2, a sequel to Super Mario Bros. originally exclusive to Japan but was first released in the west as Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, for which it received a 16-bit remaster for Super Mario All-Stars. The west received an entirely different game also named Super Mario Bros. 2, which itself originated as a non-Mario title for the Family Computer Disk System, Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic.
Other Mario-related titles include All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros., Famicom Grand Prix: F1 Race, Famicom Grand Prix II: 3D Hot Rally, Golf: Japan Course, Golf: U.S. Course, I Am a Teacher: Super Mario no Sweater, and Golf. Like with Super Mario Bros., Golf was originally released on a cartridge medium for the Family Computer itself.
