Super Mario Bros. 3

What else would a hungover 25 year old do on a sunny Saturday afternoon? Metroid and Zelda are too difficult. I wanted instant gratification. I never had NES as a child but picked one up before I went to college and Super Mario Bros. 3 was always a nice release for me. Like meditation I could leave my body and look down at myself, sliding through koopas and mushrooms like a man possessed.

But I never went all the way. Either I lost interest or most likely...all my lives. The last world is scary enough to turn away even the fiercest gamer, let alone the final resting place of Bowser. But enough suspense, you're here for the level by level recap.

I'm going to catch a lot of flak for this but I did use the whistles. If you don't know bout dat whistle then stop reading and check yourself. Anyhow it was necessary as I had work later that night and honestly if you can beat the 8th World the others are a breeze. So I picked up both whistles and worked my way through the 3rd World, racking up as much goodies and lives as I could.

Wow this is even boring me.

So yeah I beat the game and that's pretty much it. You probably beat it when you were 10 and I'm a loser for even writing about this.

Super Mario Bros. 3 (loser self-realization), check.
