What bothers me even more is how unnatural Mario's movements are here. The physics are totally wrong.

And the skipped mushroom. And the lack of sidescroll.

In the Japanese release on the original Famicom and most markets around the world, you would be correct. However, during the slow rollout of the international distribution of the NES to worldwide markets, Nintendo actually made some adjustments to the Super Mario Bros code. These were mostly in the interest of tackling a few bugs that they had become aware of since the Japanese release, but in doing so they also ajdusted a few of the secret areas to have different locations. This means that countries that got the NES very late in the distribution like Australia and New Zealand actually received a slightly different version of Super Mario Bros alongside it, and it just so happens in this version, this pipe is a secret subworld entrance. In fact nah I'm just fucking with you. Thanks for playing! =D

Normally I'd be annoyed, but it's on brand for old school gamers.

The European (PAL) release does have a few minor bugfixes, it fixes a bug where mario can get stuck on the springs, changes level layout in a couple of places to make it harder to accidentally get stuck in walls. but then they also introduced a floor clipping bug that's more of a problem than the ones they fixed.

I think anybody who actually grew up in the 80's knows he missed the mushroom and you can't go down that pipe.

Yes, and the world scrolls when Mario moves to the right.

I'm vacillating between "I found my people" and "y'all are a bunch of pedantic fucks". I think both might be true and I maybe shouldn't be throwing rocks in my glass house.

The gif should reset when his little brother runs in front of him, trips on the controller wire and brings the NES crashing to the floor.

Can't help but notice he isn't moving the controller along with his jump... he's not going to make it.

It wasn't just the NES, it was the porcelain swan statue that my buddy's mom had sitting on top of their entertainment center. It did not survive.
My buddy went pale and said to me and our other friend: You guys should go now.
1988 flashbacks hitting hard.

Half of the 90s including the TV for me.

Why minus the TV? CRTs were in the majority of homes right up until the early 2000s.

Yea but they were more 90s tvs than the one in the pic.

Oh, yeah, you're right. I think that's just supposed to be a generic CRT though.

Ice climber! Mario Bros was the Xmas present of the decade a few months later. My parents wrapped the cartridge box with thin paper so you could see the title and the backside text and images. I stared at that wrapped present each day in December after school.
Something I’ll never forget. RIP mom & dad.

You'd figure he'd stop going down that pipe considering the fact it keeps starting him in the same spot but that little idiot did it for 36 minutes without stopping and I just couldn't watch any more.

I've still got mine. Some mornings, I'll spend a few hours on smash TV or Mario 2 just for the nostalgia. And I'll play this playlist in between.

If you like SNES Smash TV there's a 32-contestant tournament in march. :) It's usually a lot of fun to watch!
singapeng t1_j5wojag wrote
Toys check... I recognize a He-Man, some Ninja Turtles, a Rubix cube, a Transformer and perhaps a Saint Seya toy? Then there's a TIE Fighter... I want to say when the NES came out in western countries, really nobody cared about Star Wars anymore. Those were the dead years of the franchise for most people, I'd say. Kids like me who were too young to have watched even Return of the Jedi in theatres mostly had never heard of it. Until perhaps the mid-nineties when West-End Games RPG became popular, and Lucas started talking about the Special Edition and actually making the sequels one day.

Glad to see one of these without the orgy of 80s posters/ toys/ merch, that every other artist paints. Not every kid who grew up during that time was fortunate to have hundreds of dollars of stuff in their room.
