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 not only the first game to feature Luigi as a playable character, it also is the first game in which Mario is named Mario. It was later remade for other game consoles at the time. Mario Bros. was also included with the four Super Mario Advance games.
