Let's play Super Mario Bros to save Mushroom Princess right now!!! The Mushroom Princess is being held captive by the evil Koopa tribe of turtles.
When playing, the player takes on the role of Mario and must traverse the Mushroom Kingdom. To rescue Princess Toadstool, the player must combat the evil forces of Koopa, the game's villain. To win the game, Mario must reach the flag pole at the end of each level. Coins are dispersed throughout the game and must be gathered by the player. There are also unique bricks with question marks that, when struck, disclose extra coins and other unusual objects. If there's enough time, it's a requirement to strike additional bricks since they may hold uncommon objects or money.
Eating a mushroom changes ordinary Mario into Super Mario, doubling his size and granting him the power to destroy bricks above him. However, if he is struck while in this state, he will return to his normal self, but he will not die. Eating a Fire Flower transforms Mario into Fire Mario, who can launch bouncing fireballs from his hands. Touching a bouncing Super Star (which also provides a power-up chance) transforms him into Star Mario.
