Anything ever made by Taito, basically.
Also Arcade Mario Bros, which has a beautiful reskin in the GBA mario games.

It's not the best, but I really do like Mario Bros.
I miss when Nintendo would always include an updated version of it on their handheld Mario games, would have been nice to see it continue to evolve into the 3DS era.

Shoot, I'd probably buy a significantly updated version of the game on it's own.

Arcade Mario Bros also was on SMB3, both NES and All-Stars version.

SMB3 version wasn't single player accessible, neither in the All-Stars reskin.
I prefer playing that game by myself. Other people are yucky.

Fair enough, but that was still one hell of an extra, it was also nice to have Mario Bros in 16-bit form back in 1993.

Ice stages in mario bros are so good, esp in GBA reskins.
Did vs mode in SMB3 have all the stages and enemies?
