The game that started the biggest success in gaming
Super Mario Bros upgraded the gameplay of the original Mario Bros to a level nobody could imagine at the time. The game started having some diverse and clever level design each time you progressed throughout the game. The tight controls for it's time was very impressive, as well as having so many secrets hidden in the levels, starting the warps that became very famous in the franchise, and giving the first mainstream look at people trying hard to speedrun the game with that component of the game.
A game that is a mark on the history of video games, everyone who wants to be a part of that full process and understand what was all about, needs to go back and finish it.
