This is a walkthrough guide to three Super Mario Bros. games for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Each level is described and what problems the player might encounter, and strategies. There are the occasional black and white screenshots, which have the the enemies and the main characters edited out of them, to show the location. Additional drawings showing where to go and what might be inside a block.

The extended 'Second Edition' titled "Conquering Super Mario Bros. Adventures", published one year later included the new "Super Mario World", for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES).
