I assume i stick out a bit when it comes to first Nes game ever played or owned, i didn't in fact play Super Mario Bros when i first got my big gray box, it was Mega Man. I got my Nes with Mega Man 1 and i played it a lot as a child, and that game wasn't what i call easy. I didn't beat that game until i was a lot older i i should perhaps add that i sold my copy of Mega Man 1 as a child so i didn't play it for a lot of years.
But when i bought my famicom i certainly bought it with a copy of Super Mario Bros.
Now, there really isn't that much to say about Mario bros that a lot of you out here doesn't already know about, but i just thought i should start with it since its a real classic.
Super Mario Bros is a really Speed run friendly game in my opinion, you can run you way through the game from start to finish with some exceptions of course. The TAS (Tool Assisted) Speedrun record of Mario is currently at 4min 47sec and I'm pretty sure that's not humanly possible to clear the game on a console.
I haven't clocked myself when i speedrun but i guess I'm somewhere over 5 - 6 min.
Japan got a cart version of the game and even a disc version.
The disc version has a strange glitch where you can complete the game after world " -3"
You can get to the Minus world in the same way as the cart version but it wont make the stage loop, as a mater of fact it isn't even the same stage. The stage on the disc version is the "1-3" stage but all glitched up and you're under water. I find it really interesting to be honest.
The Pros and Cons:
The Good Stuff:
- Fast past action with perfect controls
- Classic Soundtrack that everybody knows
- The well balanced difficulty
The Bad Stuff:
- The Loop parts where you have to take the correct route
Well this truly is a great game and i still play this often to polish my speedrunning skills.
Stay tuned for Super Mario Bros 2 (Famicom Disc) Review
Arashes out!
