Okay, since this is our first one, let's do a simple game and goal. This challenge is based on this thread. Everyone has at least one version of SMB, also the challenge shouldn't take too long, so even those of us with significant work constraints can join in. I know that I said I wanted stuff that was less mainstream and didn't want Mario or Sonic, but I guess I'm just a big fat liar
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to beat all of Super Mario Bros without warping. You've got to play every level. I've never beaten all 32 levels on the NES version, only the GBC version. It's a little easier on the GBC version because you can save your progress. NOTE: You do not need to beat the extra levels, only the initial playthrough.MISSION 1: SUPER MARIO BROS.
Original system: NES
Available for play on: NES cartridge, GBA Classics Series, Gamecube - Animal Crossing unlockable game, Wii Virtual console, Gameboy Color - Super Mario Bros. Deluxe, Super Nintendo: Super Mario All Stars, also countless pirate carts (let me know if I've missed any)
Your mission: Beat the game without warping
Due date: Saturday, September 26, 2009 @ 11:59 PM (Eastern time)
Feel free to either record a video or snap a few pics of your playthrough. If you just want to use text, that's cool too. Post about what troubles you had, things that you may have forgotten about, those damn castles with the mazes (remember, you only get the audio clue on the SNES version, the NES version doesn't have them).
TIP: To continue, hold A at the game over screen. When you get back to the menu, keep holding A and press start on the 1 Player or 2 Player menu. You'll start again at the beginning of the world you were in.
*ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH TO TAKE ON THE KOOPA KINGDOM?*
Whoever beats the entire game and posts about it the quickest gets to pick next week's Mission (except it won't be me, no one can pick two missions in a row). This can't be from a previous playthrough, you've got to do it fresh. Also, we're sticking to the honour system, so be honest.
