Kaettekita Mario Bros. (Return of Mario Bros.) is an arcade game where Mario (and Luigi) try to kill enemies which vary on how you kill them based on each enemy. Which enemies you get also depend on what level you have- which there are seemingly infinite levels.
Sure there are better Arcade games, though I think Mario Bros. is one worthy of your time as long as you don't play the original Famicom or NES versions which removes the ability for you to move mid-air. The game can get boring after a while but, the game can be rewarding and addictive while you're still actively playing it.
The fact this was never released in North America due to it being cancelled is unfortunate and you will need a Famicom and a Famicom Disk System (like I bought) among looking up things online can be a bit annoying, but I believe this game is well worth it and to just skip the original Famicom/NES port. It does suck for anyone who bought the lesser version, to have to repay for this version, which doesn't get nearly as much coverage despite being a genuinely good arcade port making it more obscure. It's essentially a perfect port outside of one thing.
The only downside to this game, which adds to the charm are the rice/super mario bros. 3 commercials that plays upon starting the game which can take up about 15 seconds of your time. Personally, I think they have charm especially since I wasn't alive in the 80s, however there's only 3 and once you see one once you've seen it every time. I do think this minor inconvenience is well worth it for this port.
Overall, this port is basically flawless and I highly recommend this port over the original NES/Famicom port even though this can be $25 + $80ish for the Famciom + $80ish for a Famicom Disk System making it quite a bit of money. If you like Mario Bros. in general you'll most likely like Mario Clash for the Virtual Boy.
