About Mario Bros.

Mario Bros. is a platform puzzle game featuring the plumber brothers Mario and Luigi. Their task involves removing various creatures that have occupied the sewer pipes.

Players confront crabs, turtles, and fighter flies by jumping to hit the platform from below, which stuns the enemies, allowing them to be kicked off the stage. Progress is measured by collecting a required number of coins to complete each level.

The game supports both solo and competitive two-player modes. In the multiplayer version, players compete to be the first to gather the designated coins.
