the thing about original Mario Bros is that the game was not inherently competitive or cooperative
you could play it either way
often times switching back and forth in a single game depending on how much you wanted to annoy your playing partner

or are you talking about Super Mario Bros for NES?
that really wasn't a lot of fun as a multiplayer game. You just had down time to watch someone else play. Unless they were doing something mental, or the score was unusually close, you didn't get much out of multiplayer aside from the company
