Kids haircut is too cool.

But jokes aside this is nostalgic and awesome.

I think anybody who actually grew up in the 80's knows he missed the mushroom and you can't go down that pipe.

I've still got mine. Some mornings, I'll spend a few hours on smash TV or Mario 2 just for the nostalgia. And I'll play this playlist in between.

Ice climber! Mario Bros was the Xmas present of the decade a few months later. My parents wrapped the cartridge box with thin paper so you could see the title and the backside text and images. I stared at that wrapped present each day in December after school.

Something I’ll never forget. RIP mom & dad.

In the Japanese release on the original Famicom and most markets around the world, you would be correct. However, during the slow rollout of the international distribution of the NES to worldwide markets, Nintendo actually made some adjustments to the Super Mario Bros code. These were mostly in the interest of tackling a few bugs that they had become aware of since the Japanese release, but in doing so they also ajdusted a few of the secret areas to have different locations. This means that countries that got the NES very late in the distribution like Australia and New Zealand actually received a slightly different version of Super Mario Bros alongside it, and it just so happens in this version, this pipe is a secret subworld entrance. In fact nah I'm just fucking with you. Thanks for playing! =D

The gif should reset when his little brother runs in front of him, trips on the controller wire and brings the NES crashing to the floor.

Glad to see one of these without the orgy of 80s posters/ toys/ merch, that every other artist paints. Not every kid who grew up during that time was fortunate to have hundreds of dollars of stuff in their room.

Toys check... I recognize a He-Man, some Ninja Turtles, a Rubix cube, a Transformer and perhaps a Saint Seya toy? Then there's a TIE Fighter... I want to say when the NES came out in western countries, really nobody cared about Star Wars anymore. Those were the dead years of the franchise for most people, I'd say. Kids like me who were too young to have watched even Return of the Jedi in theatres mostly had never heard of it. Until perhaps the mid-nineties when West-End Games RPG became popular, and Lucas started talking about the Special Edition and actually making the sequels one day.

I hope I am still doing something like that in my 80s.

Also yeah -- this is 90s, not 80s. I like that you kids are interested in our history but try to get it right.

You'd figure he'd stop going down that pipe considering the fact it keeps starting him in the same spot but that little idiot did it for 36 minutes without stopping and I just couldn't watch any more.

Needs a big aerial on the top and a smaller screen. 12-13" screens were commonplace when I was young.

Now get off my lawn.

It wasn't just the NES, it was the porcelain swan statue that my buddy's mom had sitting on top of their entertainment center. It did not survive.

My buddy went pale and said to me and our other friend: You guys should go now.

1988 flashbacks hitting hard.

The European (PAL) release does have a few minor bugfixes, it fixes a bug where mario can get stuck on the springs, changes level layout in a couple of places to make it harder to accidentally get stuck in walls. but then they also introduced a floor clipping bug that's more of a problem than the ones they fixed.

Renting Megaman 2 from blockbuster on Friday then waking up saturday and sitting crosslegged in front of the TV watching cartoons and playing MegaMan until my mom forced me outside are fond childhood memories.

I love that blue in the sky! However, I don’t think it’s what it actually looked like. Wish it looked as pretty as that.

Not for us Europeans, you've got to use home computers, flashing sidebars, have a tape making loud sounds while taking 5 minutes to load the game.
