'''Super Kingio Bros.''' is a secret "game", found after clicking [[The King of Town]] after [[Pumpkin Carve-nival]] is over. It is impossible to progress beyond the initial screen. The King of Town represents [[Mario]]. He can hardly move, much less jump over the [[Wikipedia:Goomba|Goomba]] that eventually kills him. Upon failure, the King laments that his life is a joke.

*On the Flash file, right-clicking and selecting "Play" will cause the Goomba to stop moving, allowing the King of Town to move to the end of the screen (or as far as the Goomba is). There is no way to get past the Goomba, as the King will hit it no matter what, due to the Goomba starting at the end of the screen.

**A seek bar may also be used to move the Goomba past the King of Town's position, which allows the King of Town to go beyond the right side of the screen unbounded. If the Goomba reaches the left side of the screen, it proceeds to the game over screen as if the King was hit.

*The timer always displays a time of 000. In a real game of Super Mario Bros., this would mean the player had run out of time on a particular level and will lose a life.

*The Goomba sprite extends beyond the Goomba itself, meaning that the King of Town only needs to come close to the Goomba to die. Mario needs to actually touch the enemy or come within a precise square/rectangular sprite for any effect.

**It should be noted that Super Mario Bros. was for the Nintendo Entertainment System and Kingio Brothers' graphics are far superior to the NES's, as it has high quality color and smoothness, rather than low-quality pixelated graphics.

**The only thing missing from the display is the coin counter, which should be in the gap between the "Score" and the "World" indicators. Since The King can't collect any, it's just as well that the coin counter's missing.
