Games that you left on all night because you were terrified of losing your progress, basically

Yup, I did that shit all the time. Pause the game, turn off the TV, leave the console running, play more when I come back. These days I use savestates in the same way, as though I was leaving the console on. But I never use them to savescum.

Which are a secret, to be possibly found at some point. Not an integral part of the game system.

Sure is great how those will bring back all the saved power-ups. Oh wait, they don't.

Plok does have secret warps. But yeah it's a game that is better with save states

My friend and I were about 10 at the time. If I was going over to his house on a saturday, he'd work on Mario 3 all week getting it up to the later worlds where we last left off. He'd play it a couple hours after school and just leave it on. That's what everyone did before saves.

Obligatory Miyamoto NES Classic interview link:
https://www.nintendo.com/nes-classic/super-mario-bros-and-super-mario-bros-3-developer-interview/
>Miyamoto: Back when Super Mario Bros. 3 came out, everyone was stressed because they couldn't save, with some even saying they played it through without ever turning off the power! (laughs)
>Miyamoto: But this time you've got four Suspend Points. Even better, you have four for each of the 30 games.
>You can practically save wherever you want.
>Miyamoto: So I hope players will save all they want to relieve the stress they felt before.

Oh yes, a very closely guarded secret. Those warp whistle locations.

You probably didn't even obsessively discover all the different things kings say. To me a while to find out all of THAT shit. Like, til it wasn't even the 80s anymore!

>>5754730
I detect the acerbic sarcasm in your tone but that's exactly what you do when you load a save

No need to cry about that shit now little ones, you have savestates to protect you. If you want to cry about something cry about how you'll never truly understand the culture.
