* VindicatedByHistory: The series was originally scoffed at as a ''Super Mario Bros.'' ripoff, however people have since grown to like it on its own merits. The series as a whole was vindicated by ''Giana Sisters DS'' being an even better platformer and removing all the ''Mario''-like elements. The re-imaginings are now on Nintendo systems, specifically the UsefulNotes/NintendoDS and UsefulNotes/WiiU.

* OvershadowedByControversy: Despite the sequels differentiating themselves from it, the series is best known for the fact that the first game was such a blatant rip-off of ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros1'', it had to be pulled off store shelves to avoid legal trouble. [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity This did work in its favor]] since ''SMB'' is a great game that wasn't available on the Commodore 64, so an accurate rip-off of it must also be great by extension, when judged by its own merits.

* SerialNumbersFiledOff: So much, that Creator/{{Nintendo}} threatened to sue unless the game was pulled from shelves, so the original wasn't sold in the US after a month. {{Justified|Trope}} in that the game was created so computer users could play Mario too, since Nintendo [[NoExportForYou refused to make computer games]].
