Out of all the online "events" I have been apart of, especially surrounded by Mario and Nintendo folks, something that surprises me (being big fans of the original Mario games), is I have never played an online version of the "battle mode" version of Mario Bros. (the arcade game, not Super Mario Bros.). I have fond memories of playing this on Super Mario Bros. 3 (mostly All-Stars, its on the NES version too, right?) and also just regular Mario Bros. on my Super Mario Advance game (it was ported as an extra on all the Super Mario Advance games). But seems to me, out of all the years I have been on the internet, I have never played "battle mode" Mario Bros. online. Have you? How did you play it? Where did you play it? Assuming I could play it on ZSNES or something similar, but I have never played online emulator multiplayer before.
The Advance version also can hold 4 players at a time, that seems like too much for me!
Lastly, if I just want to play the normal mode, 1-player what is the best port for that? The Advance versions? Also what about the original Donkey Kong?
EDIT: Does the Switch versions allow online multiplayer? Also I don't own a Switch right now, assuming those are actually the best ports of both games.
