Super Mario Bros did not "introduce" those features. Major Havoc (from 1983) had all of those features 2 years earlier. And various games throughout the early 80s had various aspects of all of them. SMB certainly popularized and universalized them though.

The same could be said for SM64, albeit less so as SM64 definitely revolutionized the third-person control scheme to a greater degree.
