Super Mario Bros. became one of America's most beloved games, and an original 1985 test copy of the game sold for US$140,000 at auction.

The rare copy was easily identified by the sticker seal. Nintendo sold forty million copies of Super Mario Bros., but only a few thousand of those millions were part of the test launch, which took place in Los Angeles, California, and New York, New York City.
