What are the true "Lost Levels" to the classic Super Mario Bros.? It can't be the American Super Mario Bros. 2 since it's a Dolled-Up Installment with different gameplay. Nor is it the Japanese Super Mario Bros. 2, which was re-released internationally as the so-called "Lost Levels" on several occasions. No, the true "Lost Levels" is an obscure, Asia-exclusive title called Super Mario Bros. Special.Developed by Hudson Soft and originally released for the Japanese NEC PC-8801 and Sharp X1 computers in 1986 (two months after the Disk System sequel), and the South Korean Samsung SPC-1500 in 1987, Special attempted to emulate the gameplay and graphical style of the first Super Mario Bros., but mostly failed at both. Neither computer at the time was capable of displaying the right colors, and the NEC version did not even feature scrolling. The game did introduce interesting elements not present in the original, though, such as minor enemies from Donkey Kong and Mario Bros. and new power-ups such as the Clock, which adds more seconds to the timer, and the Wing, which enables flight for a few seconds. | |

Actually a Doombot | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_1ca6727d | comment |
Actually a Doombot: Possibly averted; in the original game, the first seven Bowsers you fight are false Bowsers who reveal their true form when defeated with fireballs. None of the Bowsers in this game reveal a true form when defeated, however, the final Bowser drops into the lava if you kill it without the Axe. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: The single Pipe of the supposed Warp Zone in 4-2 has no definable exit, leaving the player stuck in it until the timer runs out. World 4-3's Coin Heaven, unique amongst any of the Coin Heavens from the original game, is a room bound up by blocks using the underground palette. Thanks to a programming oversight, the exit pipe, which normally would lead to under the staircase of mushrooms before the flagpole, is completely defective, leaving the player stuck and forced to wait out the timer. | |

Flip-Screen Scrolling: There was no scrolling at all in the NEC PC-8801 version, the screen simply remains in place and then blacks out for a moment when Mario nears the right edge to load the next few blocks in the level (On original hardware, you can see the next segment being loaded). The Sharp X1 version does have partial scrolling, but still limited to single screen segments. | |

Fan Remake | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_5458df4f | comment |
Fan Remake: In 2008, the game was given a port to the NES that reworks the entire game to work around the level format and limitations of the original Super Mario Bros. In 2021, the port was further refined into the "35th Anniversary Edition", fully implementing the new power-ups and enemies, adding an alternate palette styled after the Sharp X1 version, and including much closer replicas of the original game's levels, backgrounds included. In the 2010's, two SMB1-styled fan projects would go on to have Super Mario Bros. Special playable in some format. Super Mario Bros. Crossover includes both the Special levels and a skin set based on the Sharp X1 version (in addition to X1 versions of every character), and Mari0 received a downloadable mappack containing conversions of both the Sharp X1 and PC-88 versions. The entire game was re-made in Super Mario Maker. | |

Attract Mode: Thought the original game's attract mode featured the worst Mario player ever? Mario's movements in Special 's attract mode are entirely random, sometimes making a few screens worth of progress if the AI gets lucky enough, but don't expect more than three. | |

| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_83ea0763 | comment |
Rouge Angles of Satin: The ending. Princess Peach's speech is displayed as a run-on, and then it cuts to a "congraturations!" screen. The credits has entries for "Course-Designed", "Enemy Dispoed", and "Sound Effected". The cast contains "Hummer Bros", and finally there is a screen for the "New Charcters!"[sic], where the Hammer is again "Hummer", the Wing's description is "Fly Sky", and we are told to "Search these characters!" This can be excused as the developers probably didn't expect native English speakers to even find out about this game. | |

Missing Secret | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_a9cec1f1 | comment |
Missing Secret: There are at least two areas in underground levels where, using the experience gained in Super Mario Bros., you would expect to find a Warp Zone. In 1-2, going over the ceiling where the pipe is will simply cause the game to warp you over into the bonus room accessible from a pipe earlier in the level. Going over this bonus room's exit pipe will trap you in another warp-over; this time with half the screen containing the beginning of the overworld exit section of the same level, but the screen won't advance, trapping you until the timer runs out. As for 4-2, going over this level's exit pipe leads you to... a single pipe that you can enter, but with no definable exit, leaving you stuck until the timer runs out. | |

Hard Levels, Easy Bosses | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_b4696bc | comment |
Hard Levels, Easy Bosses: In the later castle levels, King Koopa begins throwing hammers instead of breathing fire, but the hammers are actually very easy to avoid in Special since he only throws one at a time and they travel rather quickly, decreasing the amount of time a single hammer is on-screen. That plus the increasing difficulty of each castle level equals this trope. | |

Sealed Room in the Middle of Nowhere: In World 4, there are two secret areas that softlock the player until the timer runs out if they enter them: World 4-3's Coin Heaven's exit pipe does not work in any official version of the game thanks to a developer oversight. There are no enemies or pits, either. There's a hidden Warp Zone with a single pipe near the end of World 4-2 that traps Mario inside when he travels down it. | |

Pipe Maze | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_c5629372 | comment |
Pipe Maze: Two of the castle levels (4-4 and 7-4) involve going down the correct pipe. For the first one, you just have to go down the correct pipe (the others just return you to the beginning), but for the second, you have to take a sequence of pipes: the first of which requires you to find a pair of hidden blocks to reach a pipe high up in the air, then re-enter the pipe you just came out of to continue on. | |

| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_dbde0b49 | comment |
Transformation Trinket: The Super Mushroom, Fire Flower, and Super Star make their return from Super Mario Bros. There's also the Wing item, which temporarily allows Mario to "swim" midair. It only appears twice in the game (3-2 and 4-1) and neither of the stages where it's available have a level structure that would benefit the Wings' use. This makes Special the first game to allow Mario to fly, which would become a common theme for power-ups in later games beginning with Super Mario Bros. 3. | |

Updated Re-release | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_df1793de | comment |
Updated Re-release: Averted. It's not just the only game in the classic Super Mario Bros. series not to be released as part of Super Mario All-Stars, but basically the only Mario platform game not to see some kind of official re-release at all. This is likely due to rights issues. | |

Fake Difficulty | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_e4e86215 | comment |
Fake Difficulty: Most of the game's difficulty comes from trying to master its imprecise controls, sluggish speed (in the X1 version), and awkward camera scrolling. | |

Useless Item | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_e9d0e7ce | comment |
Useless Item: The Hachisuke bee logo (aka the Hu-Bee) appears just once as an item in a single hidden ? Block in the first stage. It does nothing but award the player with 8,000 points, which is absolutely useless in a game where points do nothing practical. The Wing, the first instance of a power-up that allows Mario to fly in the entire series, appears only twice in the game; neither of which are much of a benefit since it only lasts roughly two screens. | |

Warp Zone | |
| Super Mario Bros. Special (Video Game) / int_f963c339 | comment |
Warp Zone: There's no Warp Zones, oddly enough, with the exception of one nasty subversion: Trying to access the lone pipe beyond the exit of World 4-2's underground section traps Mario inside until the timer runs out. | |
