Super mario Bros Mania

...e then that there are so many different takeoffs of mario Bros games out there now.

One of my favorite more recent Super mario Bros games is the mario Kart series. The really cool thing about these games is that you can play it against other players directly. You could play the original Super mario Brothers games with more than one player, but not simultaneously, so you were always hoping that your buddy get killed so you could play the game.
