Mario Bros.

—Overview—
Luigi teams up with Mario for the first time in Mario Bros., a non-scrolling, infinite level game. Mario can hit enemies from underneath to flip them over, then merely touch them to get rid of them completely. The POW Block, when hit on the bottom, will flip over every enemy touching a platform. Mario starts out with 2 lives in reserve, earning another after his first 20,000 points.
In the two player simultaneous mode, Mario and Luigi can either work together or compete against each other.

—Objective—
Get as many points as you can by killing enemies and gathering coins.

—Strategy—
Try killing off more than one enemy at a time for more points: wait until you have more than one enemy flipped over, and then proceed to take them out quickly. Mario will get 800 for the first, 1,600 for the second, 2,400 for the third, etc.
Mario can hit the POW Block 3 times before it dissipates into nothing... so use it wisely. The POW Block will reset after every second bonus phase (I think).

—Pros—
Fun to play when you're bored.

—Cons—
Extremely repetitious. Mario gets no reward for beating phase 99, and the difficutly seems to stop increasing after Phase 10.
