On January 14, 2027, New Super Mario Bros. will be as old as Super Mario Bros. was when it came out.

I lived in poverty as a boy, a church donated a single copy of New Super Mario for christmas and i cried real tears

I genuinely do not remember this game being so pixelated. Like, every time you jump to one of the console versions, that's how I remember this one looking. Crazy how 20 years ages it

3:52 You know the video's gonna be good when it's made by the kind of person that checks the translation section of wiki pages

"I wanna put him in a jar of cinnamon and shake him up" I'm stealing this that's way too good of a descriptor

I do infact agree that the original NSMB is underrated and not just because of nostalgia

Visually and audibly this game has the perfect amount of DS crunch, it makes my brain happy.

your commentary is very good. just relaxed talking as if I were in the room with you as you were recording. thank you for making this vdeo.

Landlord Mario isn’t the type of guy to kick people out for not paying right away. He would give you so many warnings, it’s just the type of guy he is

6:07 I used to not think much of this as a kid, but now as an adult it's pretty unsettling. All his skin just burns off.

2:37 “it can’t really do much against them” flattens bowser then dunks him into lava

Bro I sunk countless hours into this game as a kid, 100%d the game and had no idea you could play as Luigi. You just blew my mind.

Your style of video is oddly soothing. Most people just scream and yell when talking about these games, so your more calm tone of voice is very refreshing. You actually talk about the level design too instead of just stating the main mechanics and moving on. Looking forward to more from you in the future.

Finally, a sincere half hour review of a game without cringe humor or odd tangents. A very tightly written, kinetic review that's engaging throughout. Nice!

8:45 it feels great (dies)

the random fact about the lone soldier 😭😭

I really like this video. It feels super streamlined and smooth feeling all the way through. You weave in specifics and broad topics together very well and you didn’t leave any stones unturned. Your monotone voice and script didn’t feel lifeless or cynical but just truthful. Great video that has a totally different vibe than your other channel.

You can’t just say the word cinnamon in the phrase “jar of cinnamon” that fast; some people are gonna get the wrong impression.

The Star Coin stuff pretty much debuted in Super Mario World with the Dragon Coins, but the collection & reward stuff more specifically started to exist with the Advance versions.

Pipes on the Overworld debuted in Super Mario Bros. 3 😭

World 7 is also my favorite. Something about its aesthetic, the overworld music, the original levels, it's so ethereal.

This feels like watching an old YouTube video from like 2011 or 2013 and I'm all in for it
