Bowser has invaded the Mushroom Kingdom, transforming its citizens into blocks, plants, and enemies using his dark magic.

To restore peace, the brothers must travel across eight worlds filled with dangerous terrain and hostile creatures, ultimately facing Bowser himself in his fortified castles.

Gameplay is presented from a side-scrolling perspective, with each world divided into multiple stages.

The player must guide Mario or Luigi to the end of each stage by running, jumping across gaps, and avoiding or defeating enemies.

Levels conclude with a flagpole, and the height at which the flag is touched awards additional points.

Stages include ground-based courses, underground areas, underwater sections, and fortress levels guarded by Bowser or his decoys.

A variety of power-ups aid the player’s progress.

The Super Mushroom transforms Mario into Super Mario (Mario's larger form), allowing him to take an extra hit.

The Fire Flower grants the ability to throw fireballs at enemies, while the Starman provides temporary invincibility.

Coins scattered throughout the stages can be collected, with one extra life awarded for every hundred coins.

Green 1-Up Mushrooms provide an immediate bonus life, while pits, enemy attacks, or running out of time result in losing one.

The game introduces warp zones, hidden pipes that allow players to skip ahead to later worlds.

Secret bonus areas, often accessed through pipes or hidden blocks, contain extra coins and shortcuts.

Enemy types include Goombas, Koopa Troopas, Buzzy Beetles, Lakitus, Cheep Cheeps, and Hammer Bros., each requiring different strategies to overcome.

About Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.

Gamevaro tracks Mario Bros. for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Mario Bros. to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 2006.

Rarity & condition

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Mario Bros., suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo 3DS titles.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
