About 2 hours to beat the main story of Super Mario Bros., and about 12 hours with some of the side content. The story figure is the average for players who went to the credits without much of the side content, so a playthrough that wanders runs longer.
About 2 hours for the main story and 12 hours with some extras, going by the averages IGDB players have logged.
