The sites have been launched to pay tribute to the original release of the first Super Mario Bros. game, which came out 35 years ago today (September 13).

Each site introduces players to the game, the characters in their respective title, and also gives you an overview of the elements and enemies in the game.

As if that wasn’t enough, the site also allows players to download PDF versions of the original manuals for each title.

The sites have sprung up before you can get back to classic games with the release of Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch, available November 13.

If you want to play the games today to really have that anniversary mood, you can play through both through the NES / SNES service of Nintendo Switch Online.
