Mario Bros. was intentionally designed to be less graphically intensive than other games coming out at the same point so its Famicom conversion would seem more authentic to the arcade version.

Luigi's first appearance in a Mario game was actually in the Game & Watch version of Mario Bros. since this version released before the arcade version.

The music that plays when the player begins Phase 1 is Mozart's "Eine kleine Nachtmusik", which is also featured in Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

Luigi's design was partly due to the result of memory limitations during the development of Mario Bros. Mario was duplicated to create the second player, Luigi, and unable to produce any additional colors, the color palette of the Shellcreeper was reused resulting in Luigi's iconic green appearance.
