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.

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.
