Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Game & Watch has just been released and while it might be based on the company’s classic hardware, this new version contains a number of hidden secrets.

For your convenience, we’ve rounded them all up into a single post (thanks, Nintendo) – take a look below:


Finish Super Mario Bros. and you’ll unlock hard mode, with different enemies appearing.

In the original game, hard mode was only available until you turned off the Nintendo Entertainment System!

Unlock Infinite Mario mode in Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels by holding the A button at the title screen.

Voilà, no more Game Over!

Press and hold the A button for more than 5 seconds on the title screen of the Ball game to play as Luigi!

Finally, look out for 35 special events in the Digital Clock, including:
7:00 AM/PM – Monty Mole appears from the ground and runs around.

1:11 AM/PM – 3 Bloopers appear and swim up to the top of screen.

5:55 AM/PM – Blocks showing the time change to coins.

And if you hold down the A button for five seconds, you’ll be able to watch and listen to the Mario Drawing Song.
