オールナイトニッポン スーパーマリオブラザーズ © 1986 Nintendo Company, Limited.
(All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.)

All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. combines variations of levels from Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros.

Description from the instruction booklet:

One day, the peaceful All Night Nippon dream land Viva Kingdom where Mushrooms live was invaded by the tribe of the huge turtle Koopa, who possesses powerful magic. Said magical power was used to transform all the quiet Mushroom People into rocks, bricks and mikes among other forms. All Night Nippon personalities Miyuki Nakajima, the Tunnels, Kyoko Koizumi, Beat Takeshi, and the AB Brothers were also captured. What became of Sunplaza Nakano? Pitiable Sunplaza was fooled by Koopa's letter to his “Illusionary Business Prosperity” corner into visiting him. And he was changed into Koopa Tribe minion Okapi.

The only one who can undo this magic on the Mushrooms and revive All Night Nippon is the Viva Kingdom's own Princess Peach. She is presently in the hands of King Koopa.

Mario has stood up to help the personalities trapped in each world, defeat the Koopa Tribe, rescue Princess Peach, and rebuild the peaceful All Night Nippon dream land Viva Kingdom.

The Mario in the TV is an avid All Night Nippon listener like you. Only you can bring this adventure quest (expedition) to a conclusion.

TRIVIA
This game is a very rare version of Super Mario Bros. with graphics based upon the popular Japanese radio show All Night Nippon. The game, which was only released in Japan for the Famicom Disk System, was a special promotional version that was given away by the show in December 1986.

The creators altered the sprites of the enemies, mushroom retainers, and other characters to look like famous Japanese music idols, recording artists, and DJs as well as other people related to All-Night Nippon. They also used the same slightly upgraded graphics and physics that Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels used.

Most of the graphics are from The Lost Levels, although bricks and mountains are drawn like those in Super Mario Bros. Bricks are not shaded, and mountains have smooth slopes instead of jagged slopes. Cloud platforms were replaced with the Super Mushroom platforms but now with segmented stalks (which also replace the original Super Mushroom platform designs from the original Super Mario Bros.). Additionally, mikes replace the mushrooms found in the background.

Like VS. Super Mario Bros., every level features edits, such as the appearance of more enemies in 4-1, different maze solutions in 4-4 and 7-4, and changed locations of ?s and bricks. However, these changes are not the same as those found in VS.

Here are the celebrities you have to save:
World 1: Miyuki Nakajima
World 2: Takaaki Ishibashi
World 3: Noritake Kinashi
World 4: Kyoko Koizumi
World 5: Takeshi Kitano
World 6: Daisuke Matsuno
World 7: Hideyuki Nakayama
World 8: Peach dressed as a geisha
World A-C: Goro Itoi

TIPS AND TRICKS
Beating 8-4 will add a star to the title screen (up to twenty) and reveal Hard Mode in which all Okapi are replaced with Buzzy Beetles and all enemies move faster but players must start from 1-1 as there is no world select option. Hard Mode is not permanent as resetting returns the game to its normal difficulty. Like The Lost Levels, after beating 8-4 eight times (does not matter if with Warp Zones or not), the player gains access to edited versions of Worlds A, B, C, and D.
