Through an emulator like RetroArch
To be able to play Super Mario Bros on our Android mobile we are going to pull an emulator that allows us to launch the mythical game. That is, it will not be a port or a poorly made copy, but the authentic Super Mario Bros.
For this We will need Nintendo's own ROM and that you can search in Google putting download ROM super mario bros. Logically we are not going to put the link because it is supposed to be a disallowed copy of the game, so you have to use the search engine to find that ROM. What we are going to do is show you all the remaining steps so that you enjoy this great platform game.
As well, if you have another emulator installed on your mobile to be able to play NES games, as in this list you will see Nintendo 64 emulators for AndroidYou only have to try, since the steps are very similar.
That being said, about RetroArch, the emulator that we are going to use, I already weeks ago we showed all its virtues and benefits through this post right here on Android Guías.
How to play Super Mario Bros on mobile
- First we are going to activate the option "Activate from unknown sources" and that allows us to install the APK or applications outside the Google Play Store.
- This option it is usually in Settings> Security> Install from unknown sources
- We install it and we will have our mobile system ready to install RetroArch
RetroArch can be downloaded from different websites, but for these APK themes we always recommend apkmirror for being one of the most reliable sources that exist today for Android.
- Let's download the latest version:
- retroarch: discharge
- In that link you will go to the list of the latest versions of RetroArch and thus have the latest version available
- We will have a file larger than 500MB so prepare the WiFi connection
- Once downloaded we install RetroArch without any problem
How to download Super Mario Bros
As we said, Super Mario Bros was released on the NES in 1985 and enough has happened. Thanks to the web we have the cartridge passed to a ROM that we can download. Now next would be to google or use emuparadise to find the ROM of Super Mario Bros for NES.
If you can't find it on that site, you also have romsmania or put in the Google search engine: «Super Mario Bros NES ROM» and you will get some. And yes, the download file does not exceed the few kilobytes.
We repeat that downloading this type of ROM is illegal, although there are numerous repositories and more of these old games that are not usually set many limits.
Install Super Mario Bros in RetroArch
Now let's configure RetroArch so we can install the ROM downloaded from Super Mario Bros. We do it like this:
- We launched RetroArch from our mobile
- select "Load Core"
- Entonces we look for the entries with NES / Famicom from the list and we load any of them
- We can even download them if in the list of loading core we go to the end of it, but due to the download made, we already have it
- Now we are going to "Load Content"
- We will pass before the file explorer to go directly to the download area where we have the ROM of Super Mario Bros
- Now only we have to load the ROM and Super Mario Bros will start
- In fact it will even show us the suggested kernel to launch the game
- Is already started
RetroArch at first looks in portrait format, but you simply have to turn the mobile to go horizontal and enjoy Super Mario Bros. The truth is that on my Samsung Galaxy Note10 + it looks luxurious and the music sounds like never before with that catchy soundtrack that brings us so many memories.
The control knobs are located on both sides of the screen and you can make them, apart from being able to customize them to adapt them to your way of playing.
If you already want to embroider it, if you have a Bluetooth game controller, you link it with your mobile and you can play Super Mario Bros as if you did with the original console.
So you can play Super Mario Bros and enjoy one of the best platforms never created for a game console. Now to try to finish it.
