I say "Brothers" when I explain it to people whom I just met and/or may or may not know about it. In casual conversation with like-minded folks, I alternate between "Brothers" and "Bros.", or I just simply say "Smash." The "Super" is rarely uttered.

it's not okay to say "Mario Bros" and therefore not okay to say "Smash Bros"

that's the law and if you break it you go to jail

Wrong, it's brothers. "Bros" is an abbreviation for "Brothers," has been used as such in Nintendo titles since the original Mario Bros., which is also pronounced "Brothers" out loud. The abbreviation was only used to save screen space back in a time when that amount of data mattered on arcade boards. The announcer in the original Smash even says "Brothers" in full on the title screen in both the Japanese and English versions.

People who say "Super Mario Brohs" or "Smash Brohs" sound like complete tools.

it depends in Spanish when talking casually I use more Bros, but if I want to talk for a video/stream or something like that then I use Brothers which is the proper part of the name

as for how I call each one is like

Smash Seis Cuatro
Melee
Brawl (sometimes we joke as Braulio)
Smash Cuatro (either wii u or 3ds)

The game uses "Bros." in the title, not "Bros". Note the period. That's the same one that makes you say "Dr." as "doctor" and "Mr." as "mister".

Or do some of you guys get confused on how to say Dr. Mario, too?

"Brothers", which has always been the proper way of saying it. That dates all the way back to Mario "Brothers", even though the arcade cabinet had the abbreviated "Bros".

I generally call it Bros is i ever get that far into the name, but ill agree with others that Brothers is likely the intended way.

In the opening of Melee, the dude says "Brothers", so I think that's the correct.

However, when I talk about Smash and include the Bros. part, it's either Super Smash Brothers or Smash Bros.

People who say "bros" and not "brothers" are people that bite the entire Kit Kat and should be sent to a work camp.

Officially, Nintendo pronounce it "brothers", as does the game's announcer.

Personally I just say Smash or Super Smash.
