Somehow it ended up aging better than SMB3.

I'll never forget the first time I ever beat it, I was so hyped I went running and screaming through the house like a fucking retard because I wanted my sister to see.

what was Toad's problem? How about tell me the Princess isn't in the castle BEFORE I storm it

[Anonymous No.10489468]

>>10489454
why? for me smb3 is just as good as smb1, but i play more the first one because it's good for a quick game and also i love his simplicity

[Anonymous No.10489478]

>>10489468
Don't ask me to explain it as I don't fully understand it myself. At some point I just started playing SMB1 way more often than 3. Judging by youtube, streaming and speedrun content, it looks like most other people have as well.

[Anonymous No.10489496]

its a classic. Smb3 have more things to offer than smb1, but smb1 is a timeless classic.

super mario bros 2 is better

dx might be my favorite re release of all time if not for the unfortunate screen crunch.

[Anonymous No.10489527]

japan or usa version?

[Anonymous No.10489530]

A rom hack of the nes version that adds all the content of the dx version would be great

true, i love this type of mario games that are set in weird kingdoms, like super mario land 1 and 2.

[Anonymous No.10489573]

>>10489428
Actually, it has extraneous fluff like music, decorative graphics (like that hill and bush in the OP picture) and cutscenes ("Your princess is..."). Just another extravagant movie game.

Agreed, good game. I miss when lives in mario games actually meant something.

The only good Mario game.
The later ones got way too complicated.

[Anonymous No.10489849]

>>10489382
I only finished the All-Stars version from start to finish, I can only finish the OG one by using all of the warps I can, so in 1-2 and 4-2, while going by all of World 8. I love it, but I suck at it, just being able to finish with warping, and saving in the All-Stars version, took me a lot of time and effort... I still did it though, it only took me what? 20 years to pull it off? Anyways, I saved Peach, so it's fine.

P.S. Peach is cute! CUTE!

Finding 1-ups helps a lot. Or just do that cheesy koopa shell trick.

>>10489849
to be fair the game's manual tells you a button combination used at the title screen to recover at the start of the world you died on.

[Anonymous No.10489875]

>>10489860
>When you lose your last life, hold A at the game over screen until you press start to start a new game and it will begin at the beginning of the world you lost your last life on
No fucking shit, I didn't know that. That would've made it a lot easier.

[Anonymous No.10489915]

>>10489850
I try to get all of the 1-UPs I get, I just lose them a lot more often than I find them, so I get a Game Over anyways. I just really suck at Mario.

>>10489860
It does? Well, that kind of changes things a bit, I've always avoided the code because it felt like even more of a cheat than warping, but if the manual encourages then that's something else.

>>10489875
It really does, besides saving, continues are what make the All-Stars version so much more doable.

Still the best Mario game. It's just so tight, everything about it is TIGHT. The more shit they add on top, the looser it gets

SMB1's perfection is that it has everything you need for a great platforming experience and not a single thing more. You can just focus on what's directly to the right of Mario and get into a great state of flow, which is addictive.
SMB3 has more novelty but once the novelty wears off the added complexity just makes the platformer more puzzler-like, which isn't necessarily bad but you can no longer play it purely by feel.

[Anonymous No.10491557]

>>10489382
no it is actually a shit game that no one can beat without rewind/save states

[Anonymous No.10491715]

>>10491557
I can beat it on 1 life no mushrooms, and I'm not even that great at vidya. So you probably just suck.

[Anonymous No.10491718]

>>10490547
This is a pretty good summation. SMB is just a pure platformer. Just go to the fucking right, that's really all there is to it. I prefer 3 for the variety of the levels and themed worlds, but SMB is still a damn fine game.

Didn't SMB already have water levels? That's some gimmicky shit

For some reason after like 15 years I decided to play this and Mario 3 with a keyboard again. This played way better with a keyboard than 3 did. Maybe I had more hours playing it on keyboard than 3 and it's been stored in my muscle memory all this time idk.

[Anonymous No.10491873]

>>10489915
as much as I like the idea of lives and gameovers really mattering smb1 is so stingy with lives that it does borderline feel unintended or undeveloped. like a single death on an early stage will be curtains for your run if you haven't memorized the handful of 1up spawns or use an infinite cheat.

[Anonymous No.10491887]

>>10489468
Level 7 and 8 piss me off. I typically just play to level 4 and stop.

[Anonymous No.10492290]

>>10491873
I feel the same way, and this is one of the worst cases because Mario is so fragile, a single touch of an enemy can take away one of your lives, so getting more of them more often is a priority in an adventure that barely has them... it's why I'm only using warps and I don't feel bad about it...

[Anonymous No.10492491]

>>10492290
There's your mistake. Warping means you're missing heaps of 1ups on the easier stages. Even if you don't find them all you still rack up a bunch of lives from coins. At least play it straight until the second warp zone, but even then you're just skipping half the game and what's even the point in playing?

[Anonymous No.10492513]

Take your own advice.

[Anonymous No.10492569]

why does mario even have a run button? why would you ever not be running? why isn't it just his normal speed?

[Anonymous No.10492571]

You gotta slow your roll, anon. Not everyone is a high speed gaming queen.

What do you mean? The point... is to save the princess, anon. No matter what it takes, using all of the resources given to you, without outside ones like Game Genie and such, it's ALL for the sake of... protecting that smile, Peach's smile.

P.S. Jokes aside, I get your point though, and it's mostly due to me enjoying the mechanics and all, but not enough to play the whole thing through.

>slow walking the entirety of mario
do people actually do this

[Anonymous No.10492890]

>>10492812
No but anon’s suggestion doesn’t really make sense either. The game has plenty of sections where you have to move more cautiously.

Not to mention it's full of traps for pedal to the metal players that specifically punish you for never changing your speed or stopping

[Anonymous No.10494848]

>>10491887
What you can do when you get to World 4 is use the warp in 4-2 to get into World 8 and at least try to finish those last few levels to finish the adventure and save Peach, World 8 is a pain, but also a nice burst of challenge after you get the hang of it better and remember the layouts...
