Wow, you guys know so little.

It's like going to math class and having nobody know what pi is.

Jeez guys...

Mario Bros. was originally an arcade game ('83 I believe it was) where you had to jump and hit the floor below the turtles to knock them over, and then kick them away. They ported it to the VCS, the NES, and most of the other popular systems of the time.

Mario was a carpenter in the early games (Donkey Kong, Wrecking Crew, Mario Bros.) I believe he only became a plumber in Super Mario Bros.

Mario was made a plumber because of the pipes in the games.

I didn't know of that game until I got a Super Joy 3. They had "Mario Brothers" and "Super Mario Brothers" in the same list and that confused me thinking they were duplicates until I played them. After all, I had never seen the game before.
