Mario Bros.

Not to be confused with Super Mario Bros..

Mario Bros. is a video game made in 1983. In the game, Mario and/or Luigi must defeat enemies by jumping on them from below and then kicking them, when they are knocked down. It is the first game to feature Luigi as a playable character as well as the first game in which Mario is named Mario. In Donkey Kong, Mario was called Jumpman. It was later remade for other game consoles at the time. Mario Bros. was also included with the four Super Mario Advance games.
