MiSTer FPGA – Super Mario Bros. / NES (Famicom)

Had to come back to this one after my disappointing video previously, where I got stuck in the 7-4 castle and forgot the way through the maze section. This run is my new personal best, with only one death through an entire warpless run. A no miss run is within reach, but it’s just not something I can devote more time to right now. This one will have to do until I get the itch to return to the original again.

Next up I’m going to focus on some platformers on other systems and also Super Mario 2/3 and perhaps a Lost Levels video also. All of these games stood the test of time and are immensely enjoyable even to this day, and deserve videos of their own. Mario 3 in particular is probably the finest 8 bit game ever made. Such a triumphant evolution of the series that blew everyone away at the time. Videos will be slower for a bit as I work with some more experimental cores to see what results I can get for a video. Stay tuned!
