Nintendo G&W Super Mario Bros Promo (LCD, Watch batteries, Model# YM-901 S)

Super Mario Bros. for the Game & Watch was a game that was released on the Crystal Screen and New Wide Screen unit.
While the exact date of its release is unknown, it can be confirmed that it was released sometime in June of 1986 and March of 1988.
A special edition of the game, which came with a winner certificate, a license card, and battery cover stickers, and a copy of the game in a Diskun-shaped case was given away in August of 1987.

The special edition version of the game that was mentioned above was given away to winners of a competition Nintendo held in 1987.
There were four categories and the first 1500 participants of each category won the game while 1000 others of each category randomly won the game, meaning a total of 10,000 copies were given away.
The game came in a nice looking Diskun case, and the actual unit was yellow.

Diskun was the mascot for the Famicom Disk System in Japan.
He appeared on the top left of every Famicom Disk System manual and was yellow just like the Famicom Disk System disks.
Nintendo once held a Famicom Grand Prix: F-1 Race contest in which the players with the highest scores would receive a Super Mario Bros.
