What do I need to know before playing this for the first time?
Press and hold B to run.
>>4251639
It's boring
Press jump to jump.
>>4251647
Get good.
>>4251639
You kill goonbas by walking into them.
>>4251650
Huh? It's boring cause it's simple.
>>4251664
Woah you're a hardcore gamer, can I be your friend? You sound so tough and determined.
I bet you can't even no-damage run it, fag.
>>4251667
It's okay...
>>4251639
Anyone else feel bad for Mario's burning scroat?
>>4251639
Nothing, jump on enemies to kill them.
>nobody mentions the flag pole
Be sure to make a run and jump highest you can.
>>4251639
You need to go right.
The first super mario bros. has the most satisfying physics out of the entire 2D series.
Don't play it until you've beaten Donkey Kong first. But make sure it's the Arcade version. The NES version is missing a crucial stage and the Game Boy version is a non-canon remake that is actually a drunk Luigi telling the story of the game to Toad in a bar.
It's extremely overrated.
Hold shift for focused movement.
>>4251759
lol buzzwords that don't mean anything.
>>4251768
Buzzword is a buzzword.
>>4251639
what game?
Press start to pause.
>>4251639
How to plug in a cart and turn the console on. Sounds like you might be fucked.
>>4251639
hold A and press start when you get game over
To defeat the Goomba, jump on it until it dies.
>>4251639
Nothing. You can jump into it and learn the basics of this game just by playing the first level. That's why they designed it like that.
if you want the childhood friend telling you the secrets treatmentin the underground levels you can get on the top row of blocks
>>4251768
What does "buzzword" even mean on the chans anymore? Popular opinion?
>>4251995
It means a word or a phrase has been overused/meme'd to death and lost its original meaning
"overrated" is buzzword for "I don't like it", basically.
>>4251639
Don't use warp pipes and always collect the stage's 1-Up even if you have plenty of lives.
YOu want the duck hunt version
Stuck on world 7. Give me the strength /vr/
>world 8
Fucking why
>>4253156
>tfw you don't lose any lives until world 8 and still game over
Feels even worse losing on a cabinet. Godspeed OP, anyone who can beat SMB with no warps has my respect.
Protip: piranha plants won't exit the pipe if you are within one square of the pipe. The same goes for bullet bills and their cannons.
Easier than both Mario 2s.
Is using the world continue (a + start) on game over considered cheating?
>>4251639
Skip it and play picrelated instead
>>4253195
>anyone who can beat SMB with no warps has my respect.
A great many years ago, I beat SMB straight through, no warps, one man.
It was a proud, proud day for me.
>>4251639
The bushes are recolored clouds
>leaving my system on overnight because I'm too frustrated to keep trying to beat world 8
Please don't knock out my power hurricane
>>4251639
If something's moving, don't touch it; you'll lose a 1-UP and have to start over.
>STILL on world 8
HELP
>>4255378
To this day, I've never beaten it. I don't want to use the continue code.
>>4255380
The continue code is not a cheat
>>4251954
that shit blew my mind back in the day
Be honest with me /vr/
Is it even worth it to finish this game
>>4251714
Even better, try to clear the flagpole and run past the castle for a bonus.
>that one article that said SMB had one of the worst endings because he hadn't beaten it and somehow assumed that world 8 ended with another toad.
>>4257316
Definitely.
>>4257330
Post a webm of you beating it
>>4257331
I can't do it. It's literally impossible.
Almost any pair of brick rows that have two hammer bros jumping around will have a power up hidden inside one of the blocks. Knowing this makes 8-3 much easier, since you can kill the hammer bros from below. By the time you get to the bros you cant kill from below, you can just kill them with fireballs which basically trivializes the second half of the level.
In 8-4 you'll need to go down certain pipes or the level will start to loop. Don't assume you can't reach a pipe just because it looks inaccessible.
Hey stuck on world 8 guy, which part of world 8 is giving you trouble? Don't get to hear first time impressions on this game too often.
>>4257445
8-2, I've made it to 8-3 twice though
8-1 isn't bad but it takes so fucking long that I get sloppy doing it over and over again
Everything up to world 8 was a breeze
