This is interesting, because I used to have a bootleg “Super Mario Bros” for the C64 back in the day.
The gameplay was similar, and it certainly had characters that looked like SMB, but after about world 1-1, the game got progressively different. Like one novel element the game had were these walkways that would disappear as you walked over them.
It wasn’t a bad game. Just a different game. I think this it[0]. Apparently it’s a resedited version of the SMB knockoff The Great Giana Sisters [1], which I had never heard of until now.

- Sharlin 8y agoOh, the memories. Giana Sisters was the first video game I ever seriously played.
- Kurtz79 8y agoYup, the first thing I thought when I read the title was "well, we already had our own Mario". To be fair, it was a decent ripoff, but controls and levels were nowhere as good as NES Super Mario.
