"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.

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.

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

[@boubayaga_]

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

[@bobmortock]

Yep, bus or train running on a schedule

[@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.

[@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.

[@klutterkicker]

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

[@trentgrahamflips9742]

Love to see kosmic back at gdq!!!

[@alvarostockle]

The Bluey joke had me laughing out loud.

[@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.

[@MegacoreTeamJake]

damn those whales!

[@rahulmaini55]

Killer whales

[@MissAshley42]

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