This game was great at its time but playing it today i really cant recommend this. after the first 4 worlds my nostalgia googles wears off and it gets repetitive real fast i like the simplicity of it but other than that the games really bland.

7-4 !!! How you thwart me!!! Is this as far as I can get! Never -- my New Year's resolution is to beat this game without and cheats (outside help) - Everything is being discovered in game.

7-2, playing for the first time! No previous knowledge, just what I have figured out on my own! I'm like the O.J. Juror of video games!

If using warp pipes is wrong, I don't want to be right!

You'd think after all the Contra and Ninja Gaiden and Castlevania I'd be able to handle Super Mario with a bit more ease, but no. I forgot how crazy the platforming gets in World 8. Even if you master the precision single tile jumping, timing the piranha plants and avoiding the barrage of Bullet Bills, you still have the crazy RNG of the Hammer Bros! Never mind the bonkers castle waiting for you at the end!

I eventually found my stopping point for the day at 8-3 after nearly an hour of attempts from 8-1. At that point I decided to pass it off to the new guard...
