Nostalgia #90

How in the hell could we ever stand playing Super Mario Bros 3 in the days before emulators that let us save our game? Or cheat codes?

Especially considering my mom put time limits on how long I could play, no saves were the bane of my childhood. I got really good at the first SMB3 worlds and didn't actually see the later worlds until a few years ago when SMB3 came out for GBA. Now I'm stuck on one of the very last tank levels.

So, effectively, I have been playing the same game for something like 15 years and still have not mastered it. FAIL. :(

World 3, level 8. Fuck that noise.

I never had a problem with World 3, level 8. That asshole is playing SMB3 like he's never played it before. Perhaps if he wasn't focusing so hard on his tourettes/trying to sound 'cool', he'd manage to make it through a level in a manner that makes it look like he even halfway knows what he's doing.

Hahaha, yeah he does sound like a retarded inbred. I thought his commentary was unintentionally hilarious. But I still have to use a god damn P wing to get past that level.

I managed to do it somehow..

So did I, but I can't remember how. I have to save state every 10 seconds now.
