Mario Bros. playthrough

This play through use the USA version of Mario Bros. And the “1 player – Mode B” mode was chosen for this run. This mode causes the game to be more difficult right at the beginning. The goal is to score the maximum possible points before an overflow occurs.

In the case of Mario Bros. It happens at 999 990 points. Because of the how the scoring system works, it is impossible to get over 999 990 points without an overflow, bringing the score back to 0.
The game’s difficulty gradually gets harder and harder. In Mode A, the difficulty is capped after Phase 28. In Mode B, it happens after Phase 13. Then, the same level pattern repeats, featuring the bonus game with an ice floor.

The game starts you with 2 extra life. There is an extra life at 20 000 points, but this is the only one you can have until it is game over in a normal session. However, if you overflow the score, you will be able to get an extra life at 20 000 points.

POW were generally used in the first round they respawn when three or more enemy is on the screen. If there is SideStepper, they were knocked once to be in their second state, allowing them to be upside down after activating it. It is also possible to chain kick , which gives an extra 800 points each time to a limit of 2400 points, giving a total of 4800 points to the player.
