Nice retrospective. (Y)

Super Mario Bros 3 is probably still my favourite. Mario 64 is the most recent one I've played though.

I disagree. Real men don't need 100 lives. Indeed, real men intentionally lose all their lives on the first level and then complete the game playing all the way through as regular Mario, without using any continues.

You just know that somewhere out there, there's some hardcore gaming geek that's done it.

I like Mario but Sonic is better. Well atleast the Sega Genesis Sonic. Hopefully Sonic 4 brings back that retro sonic feel.

As a Nintendo fanboy up until (and including) the N64, I must respectfully disagree there. ;)

A speed run of Super Mario Bros 3.

It's not the fastest but still a pretty impressive effort, considering it isn't tool assisted and he doesn't use any P-wings.
