Question

How do I start the level?

Community Answer

When you start the game, you will be presented to a title screen reading "Super Mario Bros.". It will ask you if you want to play a "1 player game" or a "2 player game". Select your choice by pressing the select button an according number of times and when your cursor has successfully been placed beside the desired mode, press the start button to select it and start playing.

Question

How do I make Mario swim in the original Mario Bros game?

Community Answer

Press jump to swim. Each time you press jump, you get a little boost upwards. While you aren't touching the ground, you can press left or right to advance in the level. Doing so, you will travel faster than simply walking underwater.

Question

How many ways are there to defeat Bowser?

Daniel Smith

Community Answer

Only one. In the original NES game, you would have to shoot fireballs with B if you are playing on the NES or X/Y if you are playing on another console.

Question

Can I jump in Super Mario Brothers 1?

Mario GalaxyFan1947

Community Answer

Yes, Press The "A" button to jump. or press d-pad down then press A again to Duck Jump. You can also do the Minus World (Or world -1) by duck jumping but instead of going forward, go backwards. The minus world trick can only be done at the end of 1-2, on the pipe that leads you to the end.
