/vr/ - Retro Games

Even though Super Mario Brothers is the first game I've ever played, I'd never made an effort to actually beat it until now. I was cruising through it with minimal problems until fucking 8-2. The jump in difficulty from World 7 to World 8 is immense. I've been stuck on 8-2 for two hours. Luckily 8-1 is easy, but the problem I can not for the life of me find a reliable way to get past the pictured section of 8-2, and I know I've 2 other levels after this that are both probably even harder than this one. Is there a mushroom stuffed somewhere that I'm missing or what?
