Love this man!
This is what we actually saw as kids, parents just don't understand.

*AdamMasterman Mar 13, 2013

Totally. I don't think I was ever as absorbed in a video game as the original Mario.

Niiice, I really like your art style, and how the characters look in it.

I really like how the fireballs, and hammers are practically flying at the screen, and they look pretty dimensional.

I also like how you gave Bowser his original "big nostrols," like he had on the original SMB boxart in Japan, and in the old Mario cartoons. Your coloring is also very professional looking, and I like the glow effects from the lava.

The original Super Mario Bros. is one of my first video games, and one of the few games I never get tired of playing on occasion.

*AdamMasterman Nov 11, 2012

Thanks! I love the original as well; back in the day, I would challenge myself to rescue the princess without dying, and without using a warp zone. My skills have declined since then, but I can still put the hurt on Bowser if I stretch out ahead of time.

*Beau-Skunk Nov 11, 2012

Yeah, I used to make challenges for myself to like that with the game.

(And other games.)

Even though I don't play the game constantly, I'm still pretty good at it to. (I can even beat "SMB: Lost Levels" without getting a "Game Over" now.)
I'm not as insanely good as some people on Youtube though, you should check out some of these Mario players. One guy I saw can do the "wall jump" glitch perfectly everytime he jumps into a wall, and that is very hard for me to pull off personally.

*AdamMasterman Nov 12, 2012

Yeah, I saw a video of some kid beating NES Mario 3 in, like, four and a half minutes. Every move was flawless; it was pretty amazing. b Here, I just googled it: [link]

*Beau-Skunk Nov 12, 2012

Actually, that's 11 minutes, but still very impressive.

(Got to be some kinda world record.)
I like to speed run some levels in the Mario games. Though, personally, I prefer taking my time to enjoy the game. (And get the power-up items.) Hehe
