All Marios Accounted For...With the Exception of 2...But I'll do that Later

At long last! I finally beat Mario, the Lost Levels, and then ran wildly to the other end of the house to get my camera, and then took these pictures! Also, it means I'm really cool.


This is the first jump in the last castle...you cannot make it from the top, it's impossible. Gotta drop down, then jump across, then dodge 2 swirling fire-bat things...see, that's mad hard. I'm telling you. And that's the first thing you do! The rest is like crazy hard, for serial.


A more difficult quest? What a bunch of jerks.


Victory, at last! That's the face of true happiness. I can sense a slight tinge of sadness and self-loathing too!

Also, the totally lame poll I put up showed that 75% of people thought I'd do it by tomorrow at 3PM. And just one thought that no one would really respond to the poll (seriously, it was about me completing an old video game, I'm surprised I even voted in it). Also, the one person that had that vote was me, and I think I was right.

Oh, and Max Payne was kinda weak as a movie.

Onto New and Uncharted Mario

Mario 3 went down hard! Bowser was cake, the most challenging part of World 8 was the first castle and level 1, the tanks and boats were easy as pie. Delicious pie. Take that 1980s video game designers...
By the way, that end screen the first picture taken by my digital camera to appear on the blog! It is a great day indeed.



This is kinda how it felt to win.

Next on my hitlist is Super Mario Bros., The Lost Levels. This one was originally released as Mario 2 in Japan and is damn hard. It features warp zones that'll take you backwards in the game rather than allowing you to skip levels and also has evil mushrooms that are unkind to Mario's sensitive stomach. On level 2-2 now, we shall see how this goes...

Soon...

It is truly a new era of idle-uselessness.

A Truly Great Victory

I beat the original Super Mario Bros!!

Booya. Not a half hour ago I stormed levels 8-1 through 8-3, then, on my first try, I deeestroyed Bowser's final castle and sent him into a pit of lava...it's pretty much your only option. It was magnificent. Seriously, that game is mad hard, you should be impressed.

Please, leave your congratulations.
