2023 VGS NES Weekly Contest - Super Mario Bros!

Every game has glitches, and there are a ton in SMB, but the most glaring to me is that they forgot to add time remaining to your score in every -4 level; like, how on earth did that get past literally everybody at Nintendo?  It was rectified in SMB2 (jap) and every other Mario game, but I'm wondering now if they fixed it in All-Stars on the SNES?

Looks like they fixed it in SNES All-Stars.

It occurs to me that I've still never played the REAL Mario 2, which I think I'll want to do in 8-bits.  I have played Super Mario Bros. On Commodore 64 though (aka Great Ghiana Sisters.)  Boy was that exotic back in the day, and challenging...

@PII

This was the first time I hit the slide job in 1-2 followed by a sloppy 1-3

the only thing that separated my 120k to this was watching a video.

I think I could manage to squeeze another 5k without too much trouble. Getting to your 148k would require mastery.
