I created a two-item disambiguation page here because I do not think either of these two entries is the primary topic.

Out of 4.7 million total page views for Super Mario Bros., only 1,638 have come from this redirect (and obviously that doesn't even tell us whether the visitors in question were actually looking for Super Mario Bros., or for Server Message Block).

Server Message Block on the other hand has 2.5 million pageviews, which is admittedly a lot less. However, it's still substantial, and if you look at it on a daily scale you can see Server Message Block does occasionally outperform Super Mario Bros., sometimes quite considerably (I do wonder what happened on 15 May 2017!).

My last consideration is that the Google search results for "SMB1" are exclusively about Server Message Block, and were it not for the high popularity of the Super Mario Bros. page I would almost be tempted to redirect this page to the relevant section on the Server Message Block page instead, but I do think there is value in serving Super Mario Bros. as an alternative destination upfront. Hence, the disambiguation.
