Have you ever beaten this game?
>>316505948
Not with out using warps.
>>316505948
I've never even played it.
I've beaten it in less than 20 minutes. My girl used to sit and watch me do it. Good times.
Why did Shigeru lie that Mario is not about to die in the box art?
Grandpa here.
A: Yes. Repeatedly. It was new and I was 8 years old. I liked going to World 6 for the dark theme. I never did manage to get to World -1, though. The information was out there then as it is now, but I just never got it to work.
>>316505948
yes, I make it a tradition every year to beat super mario bros 1-2-3 without using warps. fantastic games. especially 3, such a tight game.
>>316506742
because it`s a hint to walljumping
>>316505948
Why are the graphics like Minecraft?
>>316505948
My wife has beaten that and Lost Levels at least 20 times, she's shit at other games though.
Personally I haven't gotten very far at all.
Pretty sure I beat it when I was a kid, but it's been a really long time.
>>316505948
never beat the last bowser, i still don't get that puzzle
>>316508265
Honestly I always just book it and try to jump at the right time. It's a bitch, but possible.
>>316505948
Yes I did
Fun fact: If you get over 20 1-UPs, the first digit of your number of lives turns into Peach's crown
man is there any franchise starter more unplayable than the orignal mario?
in super mario 2 and 3 you have so much better aerial mobility and 3 has enough levels to last a day or two (and not to mention, the beautiful maps).
playing the original is a slog. at least play lost levels for a challenge.
>>316505948
Of fucking course.
>>316508951
I enjoy it:^)
>>316508763
It's not exactly that simple, but yes, it doesn't display double digit life count.
>>316505948
Yes, the Deluxe edition on GBC. No warps.
>>316508951
SMB1 can be finished in a five minute speed run.
SMB2 and 3 feel like unmitigated bloat in comparison. I'd rather have a few dozen well designed levels instead of a few dozen well designed levels padded with a few more dozen throwaway levels.
>>316509756
I disagree. I think because 3 especially had its own gimmick for each world, it made sense to in why include as many levels as possible. The better levels stand-out, and it's more exciting when you get to them.
For example, 4-1 in Big World is basically a non-level. A few platform jumps. Nothing special but it introduces you to what's to come. To me Mario was never hard anyway; but 3 is definitely the hardest of the four major 2D ones, so having some snoozers in there for easy coins/power-ups/whatever is fine.
>>316508265
you go down the first pipe after crossing over lava
except for the first lava pit at the very start
>>316508951
metroid
No. I haven't beaten any Mario game. I'm still pretty good at them if I do say so myself, however.
I've beaten it twice without warps and a bunch of times with warps
I beat it without warps once a year.
There are people who never beat this game without dev pipes?
>>316505948
Yes
Without warps and continues.
There's no excuse not to at least learn the warp routes for 1, 2, 3, LL, and World.
No. I can't get past 8-3, too many fucking Hammer Bros.
>>316513879
Theres a powerup at both of the 2x hammerbros on 2 rows of blocks sections, you just need to stay under them and wait for your chance. The ones after that can easily be killed with fire.
>>316506068
This. I've beaten it with warps probably 100 times or so but without warps 0.
>>316514123
>that hammer bro that always hops over the turtle shell
>>316506742
He has upward momentum so.It's just to make it look more exciting than it actually is.
about a million times
Pro Mode: beat it when i was six fucking years old.
>>316506068
It's easier WITHOUT warps since you know the best places to farm coins/1ups.
I beat it on the gbc remake
The screen crunch was real
I never understood why you would want to warp anyway
the game is short as fuck, why would you intentionally skip content?
i always thought of the warps as ways to resume playing if you didnt finish it one sitting you could quickly warp to where you left off
>>316515326
real what?
Yes with a guide, because I didn't understand wtf I was supposed to do on the castle that just starts repeating itself. I mean, I knew what I had to do but not the order.
>>316515301
I don't really agree, you can pick up the 1ups in 1-1 and 1-2, and none of the levels are even challenging until world 8. Then, you can keep getting the 1up in 8-2 if you suck and keep dying.
SMB2was better than SMB3.
>>316515326
That shit was my jam as a kid.
>>316507101
Damn, she's impressive. I've only beat Lost Levels once and never touched that thing again because of how hard that shit was.
>>316517351
Same. I never beat the original NES version without warps. Deluxe was the first time I played through all 8 worlds.
>>316517261
thats an interesting argument I dont see often made
>>316506806
>I liked going to World 6 for the dark theme
>>316505948
Of course I have. Any gamer worth his salt has beaten that bad boy.
