And if a game is perfectly replicated on an emulator, what's special about the original hardware besides nostalgia? Do you even realize this hardware will eventualy cease to exist as time goes by?

Because its prerendered with older tech, hard shadows are much less expensive to show than soft shadows. Even still it probably took 90s mario on the left 10 times longer to render than modern mario on the right.
