Marrrrrrrrrrio Bros.

December 24, 2014 9:59 PM

On the box for the Orbo Jr. 4GB Android tablet, there is a picture of the tablet with a game on the screen. Assuming this is a real app/game (even if it's edited in later for the product packaging, which I assume it is), what app/game is it? It looks awfully similar to Super Mario Bros. 1-1, but with a pirate character instead.

Do you have any pictures? The only pirate I see when googling images for "Orbo Jr. 4GB Android tablet" is this one.

I couldn't find any screenshots that look exactly like 1-1, but Mikey Shorts looks pretty Mario-ey and you can customize your character to have a pirate hat. (No idea what the Orbo Jr box looks like. If you have one maybe you could post a picture?)

Best answer: Here's a picture of the image that I assume TinWhistle is talking about.

Best answer: I did a reverse lookup based on the image I posted previously and found this image on a stock picture website.

No pirate in the picture but it's the same exact background. I'm pretty sure now that this isn't a real game or app. Sorry!

This looks like some GNU type Mario knockoff that you could maybe find in the default Ubuntu software repos under games. I'm on my iPhone, and don't really have access to a Linux box these days, but that's my hunch. See if it helps.
