How do I tell the difference between the H.E.S and Atari Mario Bros? I used to think that the Atari one didn't have the sticker that goes over the top curve but this pic http://www.retrorevi...a...l=1&label=3 in the database has it. Mine looks like this one except for I think one difference the blue around the title seems lighter.

The one in the PAL database is the HES version.

Actually only one Atari cart comes up.

The other two are the same HES cart.

Here's a genuine Atari red label Mario Bros.:

ok cheers! just one question though if the other 2 carts are both HES why is does one have a rarity of 4 and one with 6? It's pretty confusing I don't know whether the rarity of the HES one is 4,5 or 6 :?

The Atari red label version has the wrong picture, that's all.
The rarity is correct for both carts.

Here are all Atari Mario Bros. versions:
