...is the new way I like to be

Tv needs a big knob you turn to change the channels.

Well look who had a fancy TV with a coaxial input. Remember that weird rabbit ear adapter thing?

Damnit I read that entire paragraph.

Toys check... I recognize a He-Man, some Ninja Turtles, a Rubix cube, a Transformer and perhaps a Saint Seya toy? Then there's a TIE Fighter... I want to say when the NES came out in western countries, really nobody cared about Star Wars anymore. Those were the dead years of the franchise for most people, I'd say. Kids like me who were too young to have watched even Return of the Jedi in theatres mostly had never heard of it. Until perhaps the mid-nineties when West-End Games RPG became popular, and Lucas started talking about the Special Edition and actually making the sequels one day.

...you have unlocked powerful memories.

vhs DVD combo in the 80s

Glad to see one of these without the orgy of 80s posters/ toys/ merch, that every other artist paints. Not every kid who grew up during that time was fortunate to have hundreds of dollars of stuff in their room.

What bothers me even more is how unnatural Mario's movements are here. The physics are totally wrong.

The gif should reset when his little brother runs in front of him, trips on the controller wire and brings the NES crashing to the floor.

In the Japanese release on the original Famicom and most markets around the world, you would be correct. However, during the slow rollout of the international distribution of the NES to worldwide markets, Nintendo actually made some adjustments to the Super Mario Bros code. These were mostly in the interest of tackling a few bugs that they had become aware of since the Japanese release, but in doing so they also ajdusted a few of the secret areas to have different locations. This means that countries that got the NES very late in the distribution like Australia and New Zealand actually received a slightly different version of Super Mario Bros alongside it, and it just so happens in this version, this pipe is a secret subworld entrance. In fact nah I'm just fucking with you. Thanks for playing! =D

If I swallowed that much air, I’d have gas immediately and fell like I’m having a heart attack!

Same here, one of the best birthdays ever, came home from a friends house and they had it all setup and ready to go, even had the OG grey zapper

Ice climber! Mario Bros was the Xmas present of the decade a few months later. My parents wrapped the cartridge box with thin paper so you could see the title and the backside text and images. I stared at that wrapped present each day in December after school.

Something I’ll never forget. RIP mom & dad.

I want to go back :|

Yes, and the world scrolls when Mario moves to the right.

I can hear this gif

I've still got mine. Some mornings, I'll spend a few hours on smash TV or Mario 2 just for the nostalgia. And I'll play this playlist in between.

Stomping.......Koobas

Looks very similar to the 90s too minus the tv

Yes, I liked it better before I realized I was in gifs and thought it was just a still image.

I think anybody who actually grew up in the 80's knows he missed the mushroom and you can't go down that pipe.

Kids haircut is too cool.

But jokes aside this is nostalgic and awesome.

Nice! Although that pipe is not accessible.
