While [[Super Mario Bros.]] needs no introduction, this lesser known arcade variant might require some explanation. When the [[NES]] first launched in the United States in [[1985]], it was facing an uphill battle. The video game market collapsed in [[1983]], and retailers were reluctant to touch anything video game related for years to follow. [[Nintendo]] knew they needed to give the market a shot in the arm by creating demand for their own product. Among other techniques (such as R.O.B.), one way was to introduce some of their games in to arcades, which were still thriving at the time. As a result, many would-be Nintendo-philes actually saw Super Mario Bros. for the first time in the arcade before ever seeing it connected to a home television set. | While [[Super Mario Bros.]] needs no introduction, this lesser known arcade variant might require some explanation.
