If you are very good at perceiving, like me (I proudly say) notice that SMB is a Perfect, I mean Perfect Arcade game port to the Nes. It strikes me to this day, that "that" was possible in 1985 and that no other Mario came close to it. The platforming engne for all smbs after it are very different. Sadly though. The only 2 things I can think of is: 1- either smb was coded purely in Assemby or 2- the original engine was destroyed or deleted in an accident. No other game came close 2 smb's glory
@lmcgregoruk - It might have been the vs then. All I remember is, that it was in a pizza store, and that I played it before buying the NES or before it was released in the US. The fluidness of the side scrolling engine combined with the Mario/Luigi character walking animation hasn't been matched in smb2 or 3. DOn' know about the newer smbs though!
You do realize that SMB 2 in NA and in EU is a clone of the game called Doki Doki Panic right? SMB 2 in Japan was later what we got on Super Mario All Stars call The Lost Levels. Nintendo of America though the game would be too hard for American gamers. So they put out what you see here. The clone copy of Doki Doki Panic.
@fade2black001 And how is that relevant to where the game ranked? Have you played a Mario game recently? Did you notice Shy Guys, Birdo, Bob-ombs and / or POW's?
@baigandine Uhhh yes. All what Nintendo did was one of their less selling games Doki Doki Panic in to what you see it today. They took the elements from the game and made it into what you see today. Mario is Nintendo and it sells. So they capitalized on this idea and made money off it. That's all.
@baigandine Its really not. All I was trying to say is that people know Mario and it sells so Nintendo used this to appeal to the consumers so they can profit off of it. You understand what I am trying to get at here?
Doki Doki Panic was a JPN only game then Nintendo of America changed the sprites to Mario and we got this clone of Doki Doki and now Nintendo has evolved it and is making money off of it. Its brilliant marketing on their part.
More like best selling Famicom games. The Dragon Warriors sold for crap. Dragon Quest on the other hand sold damn well. Even if you combined Dragon Quest and Dragon Warrior sales, I doubt their world wide sales would top those of other NES games released world wide. It was a hit in Japan, but Japan's game sales are nothing compared to the United states, where the games bombed. I'm sure Batman and Contra had way more worldwide sales. You must be counting ports to hand helds and stuff.
i cant stand the dame super mario bros. 2 it was hard then shit..... but right after it the best of the best super mario bros. 3 man that some fun times
@SuperGreedyboi it wasnt even a mario bros game it was some japanese game they adapted for mario bros. weird huh. pretty stupid if you ask me, why just not be lazy and make another one like the the first
@baigandine yea but it wasnt an original mario game. it was originally called Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic because the 2nd original one was too close to the 1st and too hard they adapted the one we now know as super mario bros 2. which was said probably a bunch b4 me on here
@SuperGreedyboi The Real Mario Bros. 2 was hard as fuck. It had the same look and playability as the first in the series, but there were a lot of BS level designs that were meant to kill you.
The creators of the game felt that it would "be too hard for American gamers" (Insulting...) so they re-packaged Doki Doki Panikku with some Mario characters and sold that instead. If I remember correctly, you can play the original SMB2 in "The Lost Levels".
the creativity level when smb 1 came out was just Godly. a man who smashes bricks with his head, stomps on mushroom like creatures, can shoot fire balls and throw turtle shells.
The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros' 1 and 2 are games that I could sit down and play right now. Although I really like the Dragon Warrior games they take a lot more of your time. All great games, though. (except for Zelda II, never really liked it)
@darkra17 I don't think it should even count because it came with the system. It can't be "best-selling" if you are FORCED to own the game if you buy the console.
"Best selling" does NOT mean "best game"! I bought alot of games that I THOUGHT was gonna be good,but ended up being shit.If I could go back in time,I wouldn't buy some of those games.The same goes for movies!
I've always heard that Super Mario 3 was the biggest selling video game of all time. How did the first Super Mario Game get #1? If that's including all the copies that came with the system, that's not fair.
@GrimHellscream The original Super Mario 3 was on the NES. The first Mario game on the SNES was Super Mario World. Then SNES made Super Mario All Stars which had Super Mario 1,2,3 and Super Mario lost levels in one game. But the sounds and graphics were upgraded a little.
Actually 7th hand Super Mario bros was released in October 1985 with the nes NYC US launch. It was released in march of 1986 to the rest of the country with the success of the launch and the nes 1985 christmas figures.
I love Dragon Warrior 2's music. I could listen to that all day. Medieval Europe like environment, dragons and kickass music. What more could you ask for?
@mrfart35000vr Yup even though personally I will always love mario 3 a million times more. My dad and I played that into the ground when it was new. Rented it for 6 months straight before I finally got it for christmas. Played it all summer of 1991.
@runescapemaster100 even if it were favorites, favorites is still an opinion, so even if you're bitching about someone's favorites, you're STILL A DOUCHEBAG..and an idiot.
I love the first ninja turtles game and I think I'm one of a handful of people who can beat it legit. All my friends and I played it. I don't know why it gets so much flak now because it's hard. Halo is hard most people probably haven't beaten that on legendary but no one bitches about it. Tight controls, real level variation, and awesome music make for one awesome game not to mention all the turtles are unique and have their own uses at different points in the game.
@GaunletofDestruction Me too. I feel sorry for our kids who will never have the privledges of growing up with the cheesy graphics (yet fun games) that we grew up with lol.
i remember back in the day, if you ordered nintendo power they would give you a free copy of Dragon Warrior. Ha ha, i guess they were trying to kickstart the rpg craze in america but never worked. As a kid i never understood it till later on.
So your telling me that NO 8-bit MegaMan game had ground braking sales?
*Inafune plays MegaMan2*
None of them? Kiss my ass MegaMan 2 Outsold Zelda 2 by a mile, and Kid Icarus had way more sales than SMB3. SMB1sales are like, equal to the NES's sales.
Wow, Golf was high selling??? I guess ppl liked simple back then...
Mario 2 originally wasn't a Mario game at all, that's why it's so different from the others (no block-breaking, no score, etc.) and hence why alota people didn't like it. It was a japanese game and they replaced the characters with Mario characters.
Wait, it says Mario 2, but thats not Mario 2, thats Doki Doki panic Rip off. The Real Mario 2 was never released in America, and was only on the Famicom disk system in Japan, and was exactly like Mario 1 minus a couple changes. It was later released on Gameboy ad Super Mario: the lost levels. Anyways nice video.
@sneskegagama, true, but I was talking about what systems they were originally from. Allstars was just a Snes game including all the Mario games from different Nintendo systems, thats why I didn't mention allstars.
@Kevster012 People in Britain and Japan didn't like the original Super Mario Bros 2 but it was due to be released in USA so Japan took the game Doki Doki panic and quickly made some changes to turn it into Super Mario Bros 2. If you want to play the orignal Super Mario 2. You can find it on the Super Nintendo game "Super Mario All Stars" it's now called "Super Mario Bros:The lost levels". I always wondered why Super Mario 2 was so differant than the others until I heard about it on TV.
If you look at the list on wikipedia where he got his Top 10, number 6-10 only use copies sold in Japan. So, its obvious the list would change if there were data available for US sales.
I'm sure Golf and all of the Dragon Warrior games would no longer be on the list. Replaced with Tetris, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, Metroid and the like.
2 of my favorite games was on there. Legend of Zelda (being my favorite) and SMB3. I loath TMNT. How such a badly designed game sold that much is beyond me. It must be the E.T. effect. I never liked turn based RPG's. It feels too much like a board game. If I want a board game I would buy a board game.
Did you guys know that Nintendo Power magazine gave out free copies of Dragon Warrior for the subscribers ? That's probably why they sold so many copies
Regardless of the fact SMB was sold with the NES, it was a marketing tactic to sell. When the NES came out in the US, gaming was on the verge of death, so selling the NES alone wouldn't of sold. Packaging SMB with the NES and charging just a bit under both seperate, saved the industry.
If you wanna get nit picky then one could argue that it shouldn't be on the list as it was the NES that was being sold, SMB was just a handout. It was never actually "sold" it was "given" with the purchase of the NES. But that's only if you wanna nit pick it to death. I don't mind it being at #1 as it was one of the best games ever but I think the SMB3 deserves it more as it sold the cartridge and not the NES.
@BonJoviFanboy I agree. But it does irritate me that SMB1 made number one. It didn't "Sell" it's way to number one, it snuck along into our homes with the systems. It cheated lol.
Sorry, but SMB3 has sold the most units out of ANY video game.
I quote, "In 2008, Guinness World Records listed the game as the best-selling video game to be sold separately from a system, and reported worldwide sales of over 18 million copies."
The Nintendo game Super Mario Brothers has sold a total of 40.23 million copies worldwide. The 26 games featuring Mario, the character who first appeared in the arcade game Donkey Kong in 1982, have sold more than 152 million copies in total since 1983. More than 40% of US households own a Nintendo game system.
@THE7thHAND But how many of those games were "Sold" with the system? When my parents bought me my first Nintendo 22 years ago, their intentions weren't to purchase Super Mario Bros but to purchase the system. Super Mario Bros just happened to be with it, are the statics including those games? They shouldn't since that game was suppost to be "Free" with the purchase of the Nintendo.
On SMB 3, ur suppose 2 kill those mushroom guysguys after u get the feather. Then u clear the way 2 run & fly up n2 the clouds followin' the coin trail.
40 million SMB carts sold?! No wonder you can't move for them on ebay. If these numbers are going by pack-in games too however, where's duck hunt? I'd say for every two regular SMB carts you'll see one SMB/Duck Hunt cart.
Here's a little side note - most of us already know this, but to those who don't, did you notice the difference of 1988 for the US to 1992 for Japan on SMB2? That's because the game we know as SMB2 was originally a Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic for Famicom Disk System, with Mario characters put in. The game called SMB: The Lost Levels in America is the real SMB2, which we didn't get until Super Mario All-Stars, and even then it's not exactly the same. Out SMB2 is called SMB2US in Japan.
Wii sports pawned all

2 of my favorite games was on there. Legend of Zelda (being my favorite) and SMB3. I loath TMNT. How such a badly designed game sold that much is beyond me. It must be the E.T. effect. I never liked turn based RPG's. It feels too much like a board game. If I want a board game I would buy a board game.

Did you guys know that Nintendo Power magazine gave out free copies of Dragon Warrior for the subscribers ? That's probably why they sold so many copies

That was only the first game, which isn't on this list. While none of the Dragon Warriors sold well in the US, they sold really well in Japan.

I had no idea Dragon Warrior was out in the NES days. I just know it from the Gameboy color versions on. You learn something new everyday.

Regardless of the fact SMB was sold with the NES, it was a marketing tactic to sell. When the NES came out in the US, gaming was on the verge of death, so selling the NES alone wouldn't of sold. Packaging SMB with the NES and charging just a bit under both seperate, saved the industry.

If you wanna get nit picky then one could argue that it shouldn't be on the list as it was the NES that was being sold, SMB was just a handout. It was never actually "sold" it was "given" with the purchase of the NES. But that's only if you wanna nit pick it to death. I don't mind it being at #1 as it was one of the best games ever but I think the SMB3 deserves it more as it sold the cartridge and not the NES.
BonJoviFanboy 2 years ago
@BonJoviFanboy I agree. But it does irritate me that SMB1 made number one. It didn't "Sell" it's way to number one, it snuck along into our homes with the systems. It cheated lol.

josher2021 2 years ago
In this case it's because it is the best selling NES game.

Sorry, but SMB3 has sold the most units out of ANY video game.
I quote, "In 2008, Guinness World Records listed the game as the best-selling video game to be sold separately from a system, and reported worldwide sales of over 18 million copies."
BonJoviFanboy 2 years ago
The NES was sold with SMB1.
THE7thHAND 2 years ago
Which is why I don't think it should count. Any game sold with the console is gonna win as if you ahve the console you have that game.

guinnessworldrecords:
The Nintendo game Super Mario Brothers has sold a total of 40.23 million copies worldwide. The 26 games featuring Mario, the character who first appeared in the arcade game Donkey Kong in 1982, have sold more than 152 million copies in total since 1983. More than 40% of US households own a Nintendo game system.

@THE7thHAND But how many of those games were "Sold" with the system? When my parents bought me my first Nintendo 22 years ago, their intentions weren't to purchase Super Mario Bros but to purchase the system. Super Mario Bros just happened to be with it, are the statics including those games? They shouldn't since that game was suppost to be "Free" with the purchase of the Nintendo.

40 million SMB carts sold?! No wonder you can't move for them on ebay. If these numbers are going by pack-in games too however, where's duck hunt? I'd say for every two regular SMB carts you'll see one SMB/Duck Hunt cart.

Here's a little side note - most of us already know this, but to those who don't, did you notice the difference of 1988 for the US to 1992 for Japan on SMB2? That's because the game we know as SMB2 was originally a Japanese game called Doki Doki Panic for Famicom Disk System, with Mario characters put in. The game called SMB: The Lost Levels in America is the real SMB2, which we didn't get until Super Mario All-Stars, and even then it's not exactly the same. Out SMB2 is called SMB2US in Japan.
