''Super Mario Bros.'' spawned the new wave of ''Mario'' games featuring Mario as the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, an image that still lives today. Thus many Mario games feature throwbacks and homages to ''Super Mario Bros.'' Recreations of levels have even appeared in some games, such as in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'', where the player controls Bowser in nearly-identical recreations of Super Mario Bros. levels. The game is also known for its catchy music, particularly the music in the first two stages.

''Super Mario Bros.'' ended up having two sequels. In 1986, ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' was made in Japan. It acted as a direct sequel and was made on the same engine as Super Mario Bros., so that the games looked very similar. However, [[Nintendo of America]] found the game too hard, so they edited another Japanese game, [[Doki Doki Panic]], and released it as ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' in America. A third part of the trilogy, ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' was later released in both America and Japan. In later years, the style of the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' was revived in through a series of ''New Super Mario Bros.'' for both consoles and handheld, which started with ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' for the [[Nintendo DS]].
