>Super Mario Bros. actually has 256 worlds total, but all

It reads the wrong part of the rom and interprets it as level data.
Garbage in garbage out.

r8 my smb 1-1 run

>>3609194
There was a Super Mario 1 race on a forum I used to visit. The goal was finish world 1.
One guy was trying to be funny and submitted a video where he walked the whole way through.

He did not get last place.

lies

Was the minus world intentional or a glitch?

>>3609194
8/8

>>3609194
I give it a 16:9 out of 4:3.

OP is wrong
FC and NES are the same ROM.
FDS does have 3 more levels in the Minus world.

256 is the largest value you can hold in a single byte of data. My guess is that the world number is stored as a single byte, which means it can go up to 256, but they only actually built 8 worlds. If you glitch the game to go past 8 it tries to find the corresponding worlds/levels, but because none were actually built they're just garbage.
TL;DR: They weren't intentional, it's just a side effect of how numbers are handled in computers.

there always be someone worse
i submitted my half-assed score in shmups subreddit just to laugh at redditcucks and landed right in the middle of scoreboard. i also used to run a dumbass bot in world of tanks and he performed just slightly below the average player.

>>3609180
Many of the things you say are misleading.

No, it's 255 (0xFF). There are 256 bit patterns/values in total which can be represented.

(I know it looks like stupid nitpicking, but it's an actual difference (and one of many sources of so-called "off-by-one errors")).

it is made up from the game. If you notice those levels closely it is actually pieces of normal levels from 1-1 to 8-4 clumped together.

I remember "hacking" SNES F Zero with an action replay to acces garbage tracks in a similar fashion.
