Mario Bros. (stage)

Mario Bros. is an unlockable stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is based on the location in the 1983 arcade game Mario Bros.. The stage reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In Smash Bros. Brawl, R.O.B. is fought here upon being unlocked once certain requirements have been fulfilled, unless he is unlocked through the Subspace Emissary.

In Smash Bros. Brawl, the course is initially hidden and must be unlocked before players can make use of it. To do this, "Event 19: Wario Bros" must be completed. This event match involves Wario fighting Mario and Luigi, who are on a team. Once defeated, the event will be cleared and the stage will be unlocked for use in other game modes.

Layout
Similar to the other arcade retro stage 75m (from Donkey Kong), Mario Bros. is an identical rebuild of the stage as it appeared in the original Mario Bros.. Just like the original game, matches played in the course require different strategies from typical courses because it is nearly impossible to normally knock a opponent out due to its low ceilings.

Sidesteppers are a bit stronger than Shellcreepers in all three levels. Fireballs may also show up, bouncing around the stage and damaging anyone they touch. All three enemies are featured as 2D sprites. The Fighter Fly does not appear in this stage, and similarly, Freezies do not serve as stage obstacles, possibly due to them serving as normal items in the game.

Walkthrough
In regards to knocking out opponents, the best attack methods against Shellcreepers and Sidesteppers is to strike the platform they walk on from below (twice for Sidesteppers), attacking directly with normal attacks, or utilizing the POW Block, and then toss them at other opponents. Upon hitting other opponents, they are sent flying at low angles, and can easily be KO'd from this. However, enemies can also be reflected by attacks such as Fox's Reflector. If any enemy happens to remain incapacitated for too long, it will get back up and grow both stronger and increase its moving speed (though they stop doing this after this is repeated a third time).
