Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. is a special Game & Watch unit made to celebrate the 35th Anniversary of Super Mario Bros., containing said game, The Lost Levels, and a Mario-themed version of Ball (a concept Nintendo had already done in G&W form as Mario the Juggler, itself notable for being the last game of the original G&W series).
Much to everyone's (dull) surprise, it was only available through March 31, 2021, though at least this one having a limited run is more understandable than the other two Mario games released around the same time.
Factory Test Menu
| To do: Replace photos with direct captures, if/when possible. |
To access the menu, hard reset the console while it is plugged in: press the POWER button for 5 seconds, then hold Up + B, press POWER, then before the Mario Clock appears, release Up and B, and press GAME + PAUSE/SET.
After hitting this button combo, the system will cycle through the following tests:
- Power (Eject / Insert / Current Battery Power + user confirmation)
- Buttons (D-Pad / A / B / Face buttons)
- RTC (Randomized Control Trial)
- Sound (Volume 0 / 5)
- LCD (White / Black / Red / Green / Blue / Shade horizontal / Shade vertical)
If the test results are OK, hold B to power off. Upon booting back, the system will have its time reset to 12:00 PM.
