![]() ![]() ![]() Bowser and his army also kidnap Princess Toadstool, the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom and the only one with the ability to reverse Bowser's spell. Plot and settingIn the fantasy setting of the Mushroom Kingdom, a tribe of turtle-like creatures known as the Koopa Troopas invade the kingdom and uses the magic of its king, Bowser, to turn its inhabitants, known as the Mushroom People, into inanimate objects such as bricks, stones and horsehair plants. After completing the game once, the player is rewarded with the ability to replay the game with changes made to increase its difficulty, such as all Goombas in the game being replaced with Buzzy Beetles (enemies similar to Koopa Troopas who can't be defeated using the Fire Flower). Most secret areas contain more coins for Mario to collect, but some contain "warp pipes" that allow Mario to advance to later worlds in the game, skipping over earlier ones. In addition, there are bonuses and secret areas in the game. The game also includes some stages taking place underwater, which contain different enemies. The game consists of eight worlds with four sub-levels called "stages" in each world." :7 The final stage of each world takes place in a castle where Bowser or one of his decoys are fought. This item makes Mario temporarily invincible to most hazards and capable of defeating enemies on contact. A less common item is the Starman, which often appears when Mario hits certain concealed or otherwise invisible blocks. Another is the Fire Flower when picked up, this item changes the color of Super Mario's outfit and allows him to throw fireballs, or only upgrades Mario to Super Mario if he has not already. Another attack, for enemies standing overhead, is to jump up and hit beneath the brick that the enemy is standing on. ![]() :19 Other enemies, such as underwater ones and enemies with spiked tops, cannot be jumped on, causing the player to become damaged. :11 These shells may be deflected off a wall to destroy other enemies, though they can also bounce back against Mario, which will hurt or kill him. For example, a Goomba will flatten and be defeated, :12 while a Koopa Troopa will temporarily retract into its shell, allowing Mario to use it as a projectile. Mario's primary attack is jumping on top of enemies, though many enemies have differing responses to this. The game ends when all lives are lost, although a button input can be used on the game's game over to continue from the first level of the world that the player is currently. Mario loses a life if he takes damage while small, falls in a bottomless pit, or runs out of time. :12 Players start with a certain number of lives and may gain additional lives by picking up green and orange 1-Up mushrooms hidden in bricks, or by collecting 100 coins, defeating several enemies in a row with a Koopa shell, or bouncing on enemies successively without touching the ground. If the player gains a red and yellow Super Mushroom, Mario grows to double his size, can take one extra hit from most enemies and obstacles, and gains the ability to break bricks above him. Other "secret", often invisible, bricks may contain more coins or rare items. The game world features coins scattered around for Mario to collect and special bricks marked with a question mark ( ?), which when hit from below by Mario may reveal more coins or a special item. :7 The game is a side-scrolling platformer the player moves from the left side of the screen to the right side in order to reach the flag pole at the end of each level. The objective is to race through the Mushroom Kingdom, survive the main antagonist Bowser's forces, and save Princess Toadstool. Mario's younger brother, Luigi, is controlled by the second player in the game's multiplayer mode and assumes the same plot role and functionality as Mario. In Super Mario Bros., the player takes on the role of the main protagonist of the series, Mario. ![]()
