So I finally got my SMB working on my unisystem! Awesome game. Found some quirks that i'm not sure if it's a problem with my rom version or what.

1. On a two player game, mario and luigi controls are reversed. P1 side is luigi, P2 is Mario
2. When you pop a in to continue, you don't continue, it starts you back at world 1-1 no score but I still have the coins i died with.
3. High scores that are built in when i start are REALLY high. 221,000?! Those are the factory scores?

Other than that, the game is great!

I'll double check mine. But this all sounds right. The continue shouldn't go back to 1-1 though. What world are you dying on?

 Embarrassed I know this is an ancient thread, but it seems relevant to my issue.


I have a vs. unisystem setup and P1/P2 controls are reversed for vs. Dr. Mario. P1 joystick/buttons control the P2 side of the screen and vice versa for P2.   I pulled the roms and installed SMB and the controls are fine... P1 controls mario and P2 controls Luigi.

Any ideas?

My Vs. Super Mario Bros is reversed too.  Player 1 is 2 and Player 2 is 1 in a 2 player game.

I love Vs SMB.  So much precision required to get a good score.  The "score" pressing techniques are really satisfying to pull off

When I had mine the controls were reversed as well. And the scores you have are the same that were set on mine
