Mario Bros. (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Mario Bros. appeared in Super Smash Stadium. For information about it in general, see its article on MarioWiki.
Mario Bros. is a retired stage on Super Smash Stadium. It debuted near the end of Season 12, and is the 57th stage to debut overall. This stage saw 28 appearances in the roughly 1.5 years it was active.
==Stage overview==
It was the stage from Mario Bros.. What more needs to be said?
The stage's structure meant that the bottom kill zone was blocked off completely, and the side kill zones were walk-offs in three spots each. There was a POW Block at the bottom center of the stage, that functioned much like it did in the original game as well as the item that would debut 14 years later, alongside Frigate Orpheon: hit it and everything on the ground flipped over, and you could hit it three times.
As in Mario Bros., Shellcreepers, Sidesteppers, and Fighter Flies came out of the pipes at the top. They would hurt you to touch, and quite hard, too. If you managed to flip them over, you could throw them at opponents.
==Changes==
None.
==Why it was retired==
The enemies did way too much knockback for what they were, and the mechanic of flipping them over wasn't quite as tight as it was in the actual game. Even worse, the enemies tended to appear in clusters, which often caused a fighter to inescapably get comboed almost to infinity. 0-to-deaths often happened with the enemies on this stage. Keep in mind that this was all back in the "Smash 64 Era", which is infamous for having the worst hitstun of all Smash Bros. games. (In canon, this stage at least had the decency to debut in Brawl, with its near-zero hitstun!)
Notable as one of the few stages that even Alex bans in the canon Smash Bros. games, along with its "brothers", 75 Meters and Pac-Land as well as Hanenbow and Palutena's Temple (and occasionally New Pork City). Keep in mind that Alex is notorious for clapping on the Smash Bros. fandom over how they ban too many stages, so if even HE thinks a stage is ban-worthy...
==In its own universe==
Mario Bros. is a game Nintendo released in 1983 for arcades. The prototype to pretty much the entire Mario franchise, it debuted Luigi, pipes, and the brothers being plumbers.
