Mario Bros. (マリオブラザーズ) is an arcade game published and developed by Nintendo in 1983. It was developed by Shigeru Miyamoto. In the game, Mario is portrayed as an Italian-American plumber who, along with his brother Luigi, has to defeat creatures that have been coming from the sewers below New York. The gameplay focuses on Mario’s extermination of pests in the sewers by flipping them on their backs and kicking them away. [Wiki]
