[big]NES versions and ports[/big]

__Original Release__ Framerate: 39375000/655171 ~= 60.09881387708959 Super Mario Bros. was initially released identically for the Famicom and NTSC NES.

__Famicom Disk System version__ Framerate: 39375000/655171 ~= 60.09881387708959 Almost identical to the original release except for longer boot-up and different Minus Worlds.

__NES PAL version__ Framerate: ~50.0069789081886 Due to PAL systems running at a slower framerate, Mario's movement speed has been increased to counter the effect. Overall this version is still slower than NTSC, but some things that are not possible on the NTSC version work in this one. You can get a 244 in level 8-3 and you can do a full flagpole glitch in every level. It may be possible (but very unlikely) that you can finish the game faster than on NTSC, if you use the flagpole glitch.

__NES multi-game cartridges__ Super Mario Bros. shared a cartridge with

  • Duck Hunt (NTSC and PAL)
  • Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet (NTSC)
  • Tetris and Nintendo World Cup (PAL) Super Mario Bros. was also part of the Nintendo World Championship 1990 (NTSC). After collecting 50 coins, you go to another game. All these versions seem to be identical to the original.
