I'm honestly surprised that the "obscure enemy" wasn't the Bouncing Blade, a weird blue... spike thing that can only be found in a jar in level 5-2. There's only one in the entire Mario franchise, and it's so out of place that there's debate on whether it's a test object that was left in by mistake.

I know the two of you have done content together before, but watching this series feels like Nathan going from "simpleflips is neat" to realizing "wait simple is actually, legitimately funny" Which is really funny, because a good chunk of the time he's just completely tuning out what Simple's saying.

FYI, when you get to Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, completing the game technically includes getting to a certain point in Mario Bros. Classic, as it has 1 to 5 stars on its selection. Or at least I think it has up to 5, I’ve made it as far as phase 78 and have 4 stars. It’s probably 5, as that’s what you get after completing Super Mario World on it’s menu selection. That is what you guys are doing, right? Completing every Mario game?
