One day, the Mushroom Kingdom was invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles capable of using powerful dark magic. Their magic was used to transform all the Mushroom People into inanimate objects such as rocks, bricks, and even horsetail plants, thus spelling the kingdom's downfall. Only the daughter of the Mushroom King, Princess Toadstool, can undo the spell and restore her people back to life, but she is being held captive by King Koopa himself. Mario hears of the princess's plight, and sets out on a quest to topple the Turtle Tribe and save the once-peaceful kingdom.
The music for Super Mario Bros. was composed by Koji Kondo, who wrote six songs foer the game. Initally the music was slower, but after seeing the game in action, he decided to increase the tempo.
In addition to the catchy theme music, the game also featured many well known audio files, such as the "Game Over" music that plays when all the players lives have been lost.
