Famicom Mario Bros without barcode?

I recently bought a CIB Famicom copy of Super Mario Bros. and noticed that I don't have a bar code on the back. I figured prehaps it was an early printing on the game because I know some of the first releases had a very plain back with no barcode. I looked online and I can find are versions with the barcode.



Was my box faked or are these non-code ones uncommon?

    They probably didn't want it to be traced. Sorta like how we file the serial numbers off all of our handguns.

    The barcode on back of the box would be the same across every copy. Wouldn't removing it be more suspicious?

    I think he was kidding.

    Where did you buy your copy of SMB? I'll check mine when I get home, although I bought mine off eBay so it probably won't be of much help.
