- Mario Bros. (1986) - Originally an arcade game released by Nintendo in 1983. In the subsequent years it was released on various home systems, including the NES in 1986. The game is notable for being the last Nintendo title to appear on a non-Nintendo console, having appeared on the Atari.

USA (1992 in Japan only) - Released at first in markets outside of Japan, this is a modified version of a Japanese game called Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic with some of the graphics replaced by Mario-themed graphics.

- Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (1986) - Released initially in Japan on the Famicom Disk System as Super Mario Bros. 2, this used a slightly modified version of the original SMB engine with much harder levels. The Lost Levels was created when this game was released outside Japan in Super Mario All-Stars, without the 2. Nintendo did not believe that it would sell well in the US, as the game was voted "too hard" by 94% of a survey of 250 Americans,[citation needed] and the game was not seen in America until the SNES release, albeit with updated graphics. The original version would not be released outside of Japan until October 2007 for the Wii's Virtual Console, a full twenty one years after it was released in Japan.
