The Mushroom Kingdom fell victim to the evil Koopas, a turtle tribe specialized in black magic, and transformed the inhabitants to bricks and plants. The princess of the kingdom is the only one to restore this kingdom to normal. However, she is also kidnapped and you need to rescue her from the the Koopas and their king, Bowser, as Mario and Luigi, two superhuman plumbers.
Super Mario Bros has one of the best soundtrack in the whole NES library (SMB ground music), and also the sound effects are in good quality. All of the music are good. The ground music is the best of them and suits the game, and it's also one of the best soundtrack in gaming history to this day. With the best soundtrack, the replay value for this game is so great.
The graphics are good to say or mention. It looks pretty well, and nothing is blurred out or not visually bad. Mario looks good, the enemies are polished visually, and the title screen is so colorful to mention. Its one of the games with good graphics overall on the NES!
This, and how good is the soundtrack, is how Super Mario Bros gained fame in the NES world it sold 40 million copies. This is a side scroller game in which you have to jump, run, and take your way to defeat Bowser and save the princess, by jumping on your enemies all the way to Bowser, as either Mario alone (1 Player game) or as Mario and Luigi together (2 Player game). Not only is jumping fun, but you can eat mushrooms along the way and make Mario bigger! You could also get a fire flower after getting the mushroom to shoot fireballs at your enemies. But that's not just it... Let's not forget the pipes that takes you to secret rooms with coins, and sometimes, mushrooms. Let's not forget the bricks that releases a vine out of it to take you to the skies. Let's not forget the other enemies that make you forced to run otherwise you'll die. And the timer, is the best reason why to keep your eye at the game. You must beat each world before the timer goes to 0 or you'll die. There are even two castles that needs you to make your mind really work. It's an addictive game, and by the time you play it, you should know why it's really fun and sold 40 million copies. There are more gameplay stuff, beyond the scope of this review. Keep your feet running! The more you go through the game, the more it's challenging, so always be on your foot! I rate the game play 8/10!
CONCLUSION
Good sound effects and great soundtrack, great graphics for the NES, and a killer gameplay, this great game, Super Mario Bros, gonna get you busy, and the replay value is so high you'll still play it even after beating the game. I recommend you to get this game, 8/10!

I don't know about the 10/10! I mean there were much better choices on the NES for a "perfect game". The only reason it sold so much was it came with the system!
