Have you ever beaten it? Without save states of course.

[Anonymous No.7895283]

>>7895279
Yeah? It's a pretty simple game, even without warp zones.

[Anonymous No.7895292]

>>7895279
Yes (with the rewind function)

[Anonymous No.7895310]

Yeah and it was fuckin boring but I needed to know that I could do it.

[Anonymous No.7895313]

>>7895279
the first loop yes but i never did the second yet

[Anonymous No.7895337]

>>7895279
Yes (by stocking up on 90 or so lives)

[Anonymous No.7895347]

>>7895279
yes, and lost levels

[Anonymous No.7895352]

Never, not even with wraps.

[Anonymous No.7895363]

have you ever beaten it without breaking brown bricks?

[Anonymous No.7896482]

>>7895279
I beat it and the second quest on original hardware. Damn kids, get off my lawn.

[Anonymous No.7896485]

Yes, It's called muscle memory.
Don't need to think or worry, just run and jump from beginning to end.

[Anonymous No.7896571]

>>7895279
Yes. It's not that hard. Most of those old games are more practice than difficult.

[Anonymous No.7896645]

>Have you ever beaten it? Without save states of course.
if anyone has never completed this game before then they need to consider suicide, because the game is literally built for children. everyone that isn't fucking retarded has completed it at some point.

Who hasn't beaten it? It takes like 5 minutes.

[Anonymous No.7896749]

Yes, I held the world record for a short time.

[Anonymous No.7896760]

The captcha for posting on /vr/ should be beating it

[Anonymous No.7896807]

>>7895279
Yeah, loop 2 no warps. It's a really challenging game because of no continues

[Anonymous No.7896824]

You haven't beaten it if you haven't played the faster PAL version

[Anonymous No.7896967]

Of course, I've beaten it several times on a real NES so no save states or other cheatery.

[Anonymous No.7896991]

>>7895279
Yes. I did it when I was a child using optimal warp zones though I had a difficult time. I also have done it multiple times as an adult. If you know that you can continue after a Game Over by holding A when you hit Start, it's not a terribly difficult game to beat.

[Anonymous No.7897019]

Yes, but i've never had the patience to do the 2nd loop. The only game that has a harder 2nd loop that I actually played through was Super Castlevania IV.

[Anonymous No.7897236]

>>7895279
It's literally made so that children can beat it. I beat it as a kid. My sister beat it as a kid. Probably everybody I knew beat it.

[Anonymous No.7897290]

>>7895279
Trying to beat it without level skips on my Game&Watch anniversary edition. This games pretty hard if you don't go for 1ups.

[Anonymous No.7897298]

Yes. Besides world 8 there isn’t much challenge.

Now jpn Super Mario Bros 2 on the other hand is much much more challenging. I haven’t committed to beating it since I was like 12, I’m afraid it’ll be tougher than I remember.

[Anonymous No.7897310]

>>7895279
Yeah. Beat it about 3 times in a row out of boredom.

[Anonymous No.7897410]

I save scum on every platformer. i don't have time to waste on replaying sections I was already successful in getting through.

still remember where I was when I beat it too... photographic memory is real.

[Anonymous No.7897489]

>>7895363
Blue bricks are ok though?

[Anonymous No.7897504]

>>7895279
No, the furthest I got was the ash level or the wall level. If I played it more often I could probably beat it, I only play it a few times a year.

[Anonymous No.7897510]

>>7895279
Yes, without warps (usually take them though because I enjoy beating the game quickly)

[Anonymous No.7897518]

Yes, but I have never done the harder loops. Don't really see the point.

[Anonymous No.7897729]

>>7895279
I beat this shit when i was 4 or 5. And we didn't know about warp zones back then. Why do zoomers pretend mario 1 is hard?

[Anonymous No.7897910]

>>7895279
Yes. But I don't feel like I got past the 8th bowser in an honest way, I just knew I'd already won because I got there in big form and ran directly through him, knowing there was nothing he could do about it and that there were no further levels. Consequently I never felt like I outplayed the final challenge except by playing decently to get there like that.

[Anonymous No.7897920]

I've beaten Super Mario Bros Crossover while playing as Mario. I think that counts since it's just the same game at that point, the differences were just being able to select characters that could steamroll the game like Contra Guy, Mega Man or Samus.

[Anonymous No.7897927]

>>7895279

Yes. A long time ago though. 25+ years ago. I got pretty good at it, but it takes time to get used to the controls and memorize the levels. I even beat the + levels where the goombas all change into the beetles.

Why do you care how I beat games?

Lol imagine tying your self worth to beating children's games.

[Anonymous No.7899017]

>>7895279
Nah. After a world or two the novelty wears off, and i get bored then put it down. It's too basic to keep my interest and i always wind up playing mario world instead.

[Anonymous No.7899024]

>>7895279
No save states, no warps. It takes like 45 minutes, anyone could it.

[Anonymous No.7899030]

Sure, but you can't really say you've beaten SMB until you've done so with Super Player Mode unlocked.

Only the Japan version that Miyamoto himself created is the canon one. Your warped ports are not official.

I've worked on a small mario only run off and on for a while but I think I have only gotten to world 5-3 iirc.

It's ok to beat a game with save states.

But yes, I've beaten it.

[Anonymous No.7900958]

>>7895279
Anyone who plays without an advanced case of Alzheimer's disease is using mental save states and therefore cheating.

[Anonymous No.7901892]

It's not that hard, after a couple of days I managed to beat it. Lost levels still fucks me up pretty bad, the farthest I went is world 4, but that game isn't that punishing with unlimited continues.

[Anonymous No.7901896]

SMB1 is basically cakewalk until world 5, world 7 becomes tougher and world 8 is where the real shit starts. Nothing unfair but very hard challenging levels

[Anonymous No.7901913]

>>7895279
Yes. Many times in fact.
But then again I played it on NES/NES-Mini.

[Anonymous No.7901937]

Beat 8-4 as small Mario, it's the hardest part of the game and you're forced to do it if you fuck up. The other world 8 levels have ways to get past them.
8-2 has a respawning 1-up so you get unlimited tries at that jump.
8-3 has 2 hidden powerups, giving you a fire Mario to take out the hammer bros at the end of the level.

[Anonymous No.7904138]

>>7895279
I beat it once. For some reason Mario games are super fucking hard for me. I can beat Ninja Gaiden and Contra easier than the first 3 Mario games and I don't understand why.

Nope. I didn't know you could sprint, so I got stuck and gave up.

>>7904138
I think that Ninja Gaiden and Contra are easier than SMB3, but not the others. That's pretty weird, anon

[Anonymous No.7905048]

>>7904138
This, so much fucking this. Even though I beat all Mario games and Ninja Gaidens, SMB is still harder for me. Mainly because of limited continutes. I mean in SMB3 it's a bit easier since you don't start from the very beginning but good fucking luck getting through some of the worlds with only 3 lives or how many do they give you, don't remember.
I'm pretty happy that someone finally agrees that NES SMB games are secretly harder than stuff like Castlevania

[Anonymous No.7906062]

I really do love this game but holy FUCK the last world is hard AF. long levels no checkpoints lots of bs. fuck I wish it was just a bit more forgiving sigh......... I'll keep practicing until im good but its been like on and off for years and I just can't seem to do it consistently.
