Is it possible to beat New Super Mario Bros. Without Pressing LEFT?

Playing Mario is all about controlling your momentum and your jumps. To do so, you push the D-Pad. But what if we took the left button out of the picture? Can we beat an entire Mario game doing that? After watching this video, you'll have the answer to the following question : Is it possible to beat New Super Mario Bros. Without Pressing LEFT?

Is it possible to beat life itself without going left?

[@drsvenlp]

I mean you can always just turn right by 270° and then move forwards... Just imagine someone doing a pirouette in public and then just casually walking away xD

[@HawaConde72]

NO!

[@leo_warren]

Yes as left is relative. Better challenge would be to not to go west

[@patrickboner]

@@leo_warren well then without going left or right for you

[@patrickboner]

Yeh if you ain't talking about cutscenes

[@lexnastin9011]

At 13:58 you can get the minishroom, get the blue shell in the spare powerup panel, get as far left as possible using the minishroom trick, switch to the blue shell, run right, shell yourself, and wall bump while in the shell to reverse direction, this should get you to the left. (Just an idea, never tried it before)

[@jaysekueny8477]

Hey, good job. Even if it wasn't fully possible, you still tried your personal best and got through it. :)
