Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This classic platformer sees players control Mario, a brave plumber, on a quest to rescue Princess Toadstool from the evil King Koopa. The princess is the only one who can reverse a spell that transformed the Mushroom Kingdom's inhabitants into objects. Mario must traverse various levels to defeat King Koopa and restore peace.
Story
The Mushroom Kingdom
Once, the peaceful Mushroom Kingdom was invaded by the Koopa, a tribe of turtles known for their dark magic. These terrapins transformed the Mushroom People into stones, bricks, and mushrooms. Their evil king then took the throne.
The beautiful Mushroom Kingdom fell into ruin and despair after this ghastly coup d'etat.
Princess Toadstool
Only Princess Toadstool, daughter of the Mushroom King, can break the evil spell. She can return the inhabitants of Mushroom Kingdom to their normal selves.
However, the King of the Koopas knew of this prophecy. He kidnapped the Princess and hid her in one of his castles.
Mario's Quest
Word of the Mushroom People's terrible plight reached a humble plumber named Mario. The valiant Mario vowed to rescue the Princess and free her subjects from King Koopa's tyrannical reign.

How to Play
Starting the Game
Insert the Game Pak into your Game Boy Color and turn it ON. Press the A Button on the Title screen to bring up the Mode Select screen.
There are three modes: ORIGINAL 1985, CHALLENGE, and VS GAME. You can also access the RECORDS, ALBUM, and TOY BOX screens from the Mode Select screen.
Selecting a File
In the ORIGINAL Mode, you can save your progress to one of three save files.
If you select ORIGINAL 1985 Mode and press the A Button, the File Select screen appears. Select a file using ◄ and ► on the + Control Pad and press the A Button to confirm. The screen will change to the Map screen, then the Game screen.
Copying and Erasing Files
If you press START while a file is selected, the Copy/Clear File screen appears.
•
To copy a file, select the file you wish to copy and the file you wish to copy it to, then press the A Button.
•
To erase, or clear, a file, select the file you wish to erase and press the A Button.
•
If you press the A Button while holding down SELECT, you can delete all saved data in the game. This will delete all data, including finished courses and high scores.
You can only save your game in the ORIGINAL 1985 Mode, not in the CHALLENGE or VS GAME Modes.
Starting Position
If you lose a life in the first half of an area, you must start again from the beginning of that area. Once Mario gets about halfway through an area, you can restart from the middle instead.
This does not apply to World 8 or the castles at the end of each world; on those levels you must always restart from the area's starting point.
Time Limit
When play starts, the timer in the upper-right corner of the screen begins ticking. Any time left on the timer when you reach the end of an area is added to your score as bonus points.
There are no time bonuses in the castles at the end of each area. If you run out of time before you reach the castle, you lose a life.
The Flagpole
Just before you reach the small castle at the end of each area, you must climb a tall staircase and jump onto a flagpole. The higher you jump on the flagpole, the higher the bonus you receive.
How to Topple the Turtle Tribe
There are many different methods of getting rid of enemies. The number of points you receive depends on how you dispose of them. Try different methods to see which gives you the most points.
You can jump on enemies to stomp them flat. If an enemy is on top of a block, you can punch the block from below to send him flying. Once you collect a Fire Flower, you can press the B Button to throw fireballs.
If you stomp on a Koopa Troopa, he will hide inside his shell and won't move for a while. During this time you can kick the shell to knock down other enemies, but don't let the shell ricochet back and hit you!
Never touch an enemy from any direction when in the water. Some enemies cannot be defeated; just stay away from these immortal creeps!
Things to Avoid
Just as there are several ways to get rid of enemies, there are multiple ways to lose your own life.
•
If regular Mario bumps into an enemy, walks into flames, or gets hit by a kicked shell, he will lose a life.
•
If any of these happen to Super Mario or Fiery Mario, he will simply turn back into regular Mario, and the game will continue.
•
If time runs out or you fall into a pit on land or a chasm in the water, you will lose a life regardless of which Mario you have.
High Scores
If your score is high enough when your game ends, the Rankings screen will appear.
When GAME OVER appears on the screen, press the A Button to enter the Name Entry screen.
•
To enter a name, use the + Control Pad to select a letter, then press the A Button to confirm.
•
If you select COLOR, you can change the color of the letters.
•
Press SELECT to copy a name that has already been entered.
•
Once you have entered a name, select END and press the A Button. Then the Rankings screen will appear.
If you press the A Button on the Rankings screen, you will be asked if you would like to continue. If you choose YES, your score will return to 0, and you will restart from the beginning of the course where your game ended.
CHALLENGE Game
Once you have cleared a course in the ORIGINAL 1985 Mode, you can play that course in the CHALLENGE Mode. On the Mode Select screen, select the CHALLENGE Mode and press the A Button to confirm. The Clear List screen will then appear, and you can choose which course you will play. The background color on this screen will change depending on your total high score.
In this mode, there is a Red Coin Medal, a High Score Medal, and an Egg Medal for each of the 32 courses from the ORIGINAL 1985 Mode. Your goal is to collect all the medals as you try to clear all 32 levels!
Collecting the Medals
The Five Red Coins and the Red Coin Medal
There are five Red Coins hidden in each area. When you collect all 5 Red Coins from an area, you will receive that area's Red Coin Medal.

Extra Lives
Mario can get an extra life by picking up a 1-Up Mushroom or by collecting 100 Coins. There are other secret ways to get an extra life, too.

You can score extra points by wiping out several enemies in a row. Each Coin is worth 200 points, and collecting 100 Coins gives an extra life in addition to points.
Fireworks (Original 1985)
Fireworks may appear in the castle after you jump onto a flagpole, giving 500 points for each explosion.

1-Up Mushrooms (Challenge Game)
In Challenge Game mode, 1-Up Mushrooms are worth 2000 points, and there are many Coins in Bonus Stages to help reach a high score.
Bonus Stages (Challenge Game)
If you collect all the Coins in the Bonus Stages above the clouds, something good will happen.
Yoshi Eggs (Challenge Game)
Yoshi Eggs are hidden in unusual places; explore areas you usually ignore, and once found, the Yoshi icon will appear in the TOY BOX.
