My five year old son loves the Mario franchise, but his favorite, sadly, is Super Mario Bros. 3. I kid, of course, that was a great game as well, but my favorite is Super Mario World. He'll play this one by himself, but won't play with me because he doesn't get a turn unless I intentionally kill myself.

There's just something about these old games and them just being fun. It wasn't about how they looked or how powerful the machine was, it was simply about creating a fun game.

I've shown him all the tricks, infinite lives, little Mario w/ Fireballs and the minus world.

Nice post; parts of it read like the back of it's box. But that's the beauty of Super Mario Bros.; that being it's magical connection to a time when we didn't worry about the tech running it or if we'd get our money's worth.

Your post also casually reminded me that I need to pick this game up on the Virtual Console; not just for nostalgia's sake or the fact that it's infinite replayability, but so that my sons can understand what it was that pulled their dad into this crazy hobby of his.
