So today we’ll discuss more about one of the many free online Mario games, and we’ll begin with the first Mario game ever, the one that was launched many years ago, and which was played by millions of people from all over the world. You can find the game here, and it is called “Super Mario Bros”. since the original game was on a gaming console, you were playing using a joystick.

But since this game is on the internet, you will play it by using your keyboard. So the joystick keys are replaced by keys on the keyboard, and they are: the Enter key is the Start button from the joystick, the Control key is the Select button, the X key is the A button, the Z key is the B button and the arrow keys are the arrows from the joystick. This game can also be played in 2 players mode, and the second player will play with the brother of Mario – Luigi.



Since this is a platform game, you will have to move forward, and advance through the levels (forward means that you will always go in the right direction). On your way you will have to avoid obstacles, kill enemies, collect different items and make your way to the dragon from each level and save the princess. To kill an enemy simply jump on his head, or shoot him if you have collected the flower. But first you will collect a mushroom, and this one will make you bigger.

And if you are already big, and you collect a flower, then you will be able to shoot. If an enemy touches you, you won’t directly die, but you will first get back from the “shooting mode” to “big mode”, and when you get touched again, you will become smaller, which is the initial mode. But if you fall into a gap, it won’t matter how big you are, you will die and then start the game again, with the initial mode. Most of the enemies will die if you jump on them, but it’s not the same for the carnivore plants.

You can only destroy them by shooting them. There are so many more things to be said about this old but very cool game, but we’ll let you discover all of its secrets. Good luck!

If you choose to begin with the head, you will have a few hats and caps to choose from, all in different colors and shapes. One of the most interesting head accessories is a hat which looks just like a cat’s head, with ears and eyes.

The most glamorous one is a big and pink dress. After you are ready with this, you can go even lower, and pick something to put on her feet.
