Yep it was Donkey Kong and the year was 1981. I think Super Mario Brothers the game came out 4 years later in 1985 where Mario Mario (yes his 1st and last name are the same) and Luigi Mario (his brother) 1st teamed up. Many retards don't know that they were brothers or that their last names are Mario but just look at the title...Mario Brothers. Kinda like if you're last name is Smith, you and your brother would be called the Smith brothers.
