was discovering all of the hidden power ups and secrets. Then again, part of the charm of Super Mario Bros. I had been so obsessed with hitting every block and ducking into every pipe as a kid, that I had forgotten to enjoy the actual gameplay of these levels. I had forgotten about some of the levels I had skipped over the past couple of decades. Was simple: Play the game start to finish, without using warp zones.Īs it turned out, I grew a fonder appreciation for this game.
But that’s not what I did for this playthrough. I used to speed-run the game, hopping from secret warp zones to blast me all the way to the end battle in a matter of minutes. After tossing my hands up playing one of the more difficult levels of Resident Evil 2, coming back to Super Mario Bros. This game has always been a staple for me.
