Oh, Mario, let me count the ways I have killed thee …
I have dropped you into chasms.
I have seen you slain by boomerangs.
I have caused you to be killed by an incredibly diverse menagerie of beasts.
I have seen you run over by uncommonly mobile carapaces.
I have you allowed you to be crushed by falling blocks of concrete.
And I am only on World 2.
Super Mario Brothers 3 is ostensibly a platform game but the way I play, it’s Faces of Death, Nintendo-style.
Still having trouble, hmm? I never remember the game being so freaking hard when I had it – I still haven’t been able to get my hands on a copy – but, unless they upped the difficulty to 500%, I fail to see why you have soo many problems?
