What if when mario punched a brick he broke his hand???
In September of last year (to commemorate the 40th anniversary) I played this old fucking game everyday until I could beat it in one sitting. This took only a week, and upon completion I played it until I could beat it without using any warp zones. Very fun and I'd recommend anyone who isn't already into NES games give it a shot. Basically 80% of what makes a mario game (or more broadly any 2d platformer) good is there. Running and jumping is smooth and satisfying. Level design introduces and then progressively steps up various enemy encounters and pitfalls. Lots of fun secrets like all the hidden 1-ups and the fireworks when you clear a level with the timer at a certian number. Enormous historical significance, the rock on which modern nintendo has built their empire. mama mia time to take a piss
