"for some reason there's only two levels instead of three" the framing of the original Japanese game was a storybook, and the kids reading the book accidentally tore out the last page where Wart surrenders and there's a happy ending. The "missing" last stage is the missing last page of the book.

[@osurpless]

Yep, in addition to the lack of the ability to run reducing the amount of “Luigi” skips you can do, this simple element makes the original feel different in a special way.

TheHaxor is my dad. Haven't seen him since '88 when this game came out. Glad to see he's doing well! Nice run.

I remember as a kid figuring out those two warps, thats how I beat the game for the first time I really felt like I had discovered something so super secret compared to the easy SMB1 warp zones

[@zigzagkillah7666]

I recall this being the first video game I beat... ever ... and then after, I would ( unknowingly) speed run it for my friends. It was the one feather in my cap I had as a Nintendo kid.

Love to see kosmic back at gdq!!!

The framerule cycle to the Birdo fight is like a bus, right?

[@bobmortock]

Yep, bus or train running on a schedule

[@alvarostockle]

The Bluey joke had me laughing out loud.

[@klutterkicker]

Awesome run! I always loved the music in this game.

[@ToyKeeper]

This was one of my favorite games to play through over and over, going fast or doing tricks or whatever. It feels good to play.

[@MegacoreTeamJake]

damn those whales!

[@rahulmaini55]

Killer whales

[@MissAshley42]

Even with the slippery whales, this was a swell run. Faster than a fleeting dream!

[@derrickstomberg2709]

Love it!

[@EnderDragon]

I like how enemies such as Birdo and Shy Guys became staples in the Mario series, even though this was not originally a Mario game.

[@MxMaker]

Game of the Year!

[@KaylixYT]

Hilarious

[@21darkster]

There's two couches now?

[@ZetaPyro]
