Just like in the original game, it features Mario the plumber, jumping around, collecting pickups and defeating enemies across Mushroom Kingdom. Mario & Luigi - DOS version Mario can find a mushroom which makes him grow, and a fire flower that allows him to shoot fireballs.    The game was written in Turbo Pacal. Mike Wiering wrote this game to practice VGA programming. His goal was to create a PC game with parallax scrolling layers, that would run smoothly on his 486 computer (25 MHz). He didn't plan to release this Mario game, instead use the engine to make other (more original) games.    During the game, you can walk with [Left] and [Right] and jump with [Alt]. Hold [Ctrl] down to run faster and jump further. Fire with [Space] (you can use [Up] or [Down] to aim while firing). Press [Down] at the end of a level to go down into the pipe. Finally, to quit the game, press [Esc].    The game has a total of 6 levels. Compared to the original Super Mario Bros it lacks background music, the main antagonist Bowser is missing, and at the end of the underground castle you won't find a princess, but only 'The End' label made out of golden coins. Also you won't find warp zones shortening the path between individual levels and other things known from the original game. 3 years later in 1997, Mike Wiering released a similar but significantly better game called Super Angelo.

Some newer DOS games also used a mouse or other more advanced game peripherals for control. However, each game was controlled by different keys. You can find a detailed description of how to control this version of Mario and Luigi in the attached game manual. An overview of basic keyboard commands and keyboard shortcuts to control this game is summarized in the following table:   Keys Action ← or → Walk left or right Ctrl + ← or → Run left or right ↑ Climb up ↓ Climb down Alt Jump up Space Throw a fireball (works only after collecting the flower) P Pause Esc Game over (go to the Main Menu)   Platform: This ver­sion of Mario and Luigi was de­sig­ned for per­so­nal com­pu­ters with o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem MS-DOS (Mi­cro­soft Disk O­pe­ra­ting Sys­tem), which was o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem de­ve­lo­ped by Mi­cro­soft in 1981. It was the most wi­de­ly-used o­pe­ra­ting sys­tem in the first half of the 1990s. MS-DOS was sup­plied with most of the IBM com­pu­ters that pur­cha­sed a li­cen­se from Mi­cro­soft. Af­ter 1995, it was pu­s­hed out by a gra­phi­cal­ly mo­re ad­van­ced sys­tem - Win­dows and its de­ve­lop­ment was ce­a­sed in 2000. At the ti­me of its grea­test fa­me, se­ve­ral thou­sand ga­mes de­sig­ned spe­ci­fi­cal­ly for com­pu­ters with this sys­tem we­re cre­a­ted. To­day, its de­ve­lop­ment is no lon­ger con­ti­nue and for e­mu­la­tion the free DOSBox e­mu­la­tor is most of­ten used.
