Modder gets Super Mario Bros. and other games running on VHS tape:
VCR you kidding me?
Mario Kart and Super Mario Bros. are playable on YouTube...sort of (UPDATE):
Still better than M&M's Kart Racing
YouTuber Throaty Mumbo built a modern gaming system that uses VHS tapes to play versions of Super Mario Bros. and Doom.
The project began after he grew frustrated with ActionMax, a VHS-based console from 1987.
His video shows the difficulties with the old system and how he built a new one using modern electronic components.
The result looks and sounds authentic, though the article notes a drawback without specifying what it is.

Super Mario Bros.: 40 Jahre altes Geheimnis überrascht selbst Veteranen
Ein Easter Egg aus dem originalen Super Mario Bros. sorgt aktuell für Gesprächsstoff – und überrascht selbst langjährige Fans der Reihe. Fällt im Spiel ein Pilz in eine Grube, lässt er sich entgegen jeder Logik trotzdem noch einsammeln, wenn Mario an der richtigen Stelle nach oben springt. Glitch in Aktion Geteilt wurde der Clip kürzlich vom japanischen X-Nutzer tyouzameYSK, der zeigt, wie ein Super-Pilz in World 1-1 in einen Abgrund fällt – und Mario ihn trotzdem noch aus der […]
It's the 41st anniversary of the original Super Mario Bros!
The celebration last year was a bit underwhelming, but maybe things will be different with the next milestone. Anyways, here's some Peach pics.

This ain't no game!
Version 1.0 of #SuperMarioBros for the #SegaMasterSystem. It has a feature to take advantage of the Master System's YM2413 FM synth sound chip. It also comes with it's own version of the graphics that look how they night have looked if #SMB was made for the #SMS. This is pretty cool and feels pretty right.
I played it on my Sega MegaDrive via an EverDrive Pro which can run the SMS card reader via the FPGA in cart. #retrogaming https://www.smspower.org/Homebrew/SuperMarioBrosSmsPort-SMS

Collector discovers incredibly rare Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt NES copies (UPDATE):
A once-in-a-lifetime discovery
O speedrunner Niftski estabeleceu um novo recorde mundial em Super Mario Bros., marcando 4:54.332 – apenas quatro quadros (0,06 segundo) longe do tempo teórico perfeito de 4:54.265. Ele afirma que a barreira está prestes a ser quebrada.
Ele não está sozinho: LeKukie, que superou dificuldades de hardware no Brasil e já contou com o apoio da comunidade (inclusive de Niftski), também está na corrida pelo tempo imbatível... #SuperMarioBros
Niftski estabeleceu novo recorde mundial de speedrun de Super Mario Bros., completando o jogo em 4 minutos, 54 segundos e 332 milésimos, apenas quatro quadros distante do tempo teórico perfeito.
Ele melhorou o recorde anterior de LeKukie em dois quadros, executando técnicas de pixel‑perfeito como o backwards‑jump e aceleração rápida, perdendo tempo somente na fase 8‑4 por entrada de tubo mistimada, salto alto e impulso perdido... #SuperMarioBros

Retro Gaming Ads Blast – Part 45
Welcome back readers, fellow geeks and electronic gaming fans!
In this edition of the Retro Gaming Ads Blast (RGAB) series, we will take a look at another batch of retro gaming print ads from the 1980s to the 1990s.
For the newcomers reading this, Retro Gaming Ads Blast (RGAB) looks back at the many print ads of games (console, arcade, computer and handheld) that were published in comic books, magazines, flyers, posters and newspapers long before smartphones, social media, the worldwide web and streaming became popular. To put things in perspective, people back in the 1980s to the 1990s were more trusting of print media for information and images about electronic games and related products.
With those details laid down, here is the newest batch of retro gaming print ads for you to see and enjoy…
1. Tron Arcade Flyer
The front. The rear. The details were clearly written for arcade operators.Remember how dazzling the 1982 movie Tron was when you first saw it? That film had groundbreaking computer-generated graphics and the filmmakers worked very hard to tell a story covering both the real and digital worlds. Along the way, the movie had strong video game vibes which resonated with gamers at a time when arcade gaming was wildly popular in America. Believe it or not, an official arcade game of Tron was released the same year as the movie and it was a massive success. The arcade flyer perfectly captured the vibe and look from the movie and the machine itself had a control stick the same with what was shown to viewers. This old flyer is still great to look at.
2. Green Beret Japanese Arcade Flyer
This is a very stylish flyer.Konami was a highly prolific game publisher in the 1980s and it had lots of games that became huge blockbusters. During the decade, their game developers were strongly influenced by both Hollywood action movies and the Cold War. In 1985, Konami released the militaristic game Green Beret in Japanese arcades and to promote it, they created an arcade flyer featuring a very stylish artwork highlighting military images of soldiers (including a guy smoking) and warfare. This ad still looks great and it was not surprising it helped the game achieve huge commercial success. Green Beret was released in America as Rush’n Attack.
3. Darius Japanese And North American Arcade Flyers
The Japanese flyer. The North American flyer.Released in arcades worldwide in 1987, Darius is a 2D side-scrolling shooter game from Taito which had a science fiction concept of the starship Silver Hawk (piloted by players) which sets on a mission to destroy an evil empire before it could destroy the world called Darius. The game was successful, most notably in Japan and it eventually led to sequels being released later. What I find intriguing is how the arcade game was promoted in Japan and in North America. The Japanese arcade flyer had this intriguing artwork that reflected a blend of sci-fi with a touch of horror. The North American flyer had a strong sci-fi touch with a male and female model wearing costumes (that made them look futuristic) standing beside the Darius machine. Which flyer looks more appealing to you?
4. Data East’s Arcade Alley Print Ad
Fun and excitement emphasized in this print ad.There is nothing like porting arcade hits to computer systems for gamers to enjoy. In 1988 there in Europe, U.S. Gold released Data East’s Arcade Alley for computer systems and it included ports of popular Data East games like Kung Fu Master, Express Raider, Breakthru, Tag Team Wrestling, Last Mission and Karate Champ. U.S. Gold’s print ad showed a guy in the middle of a video arcade looking on both sides to pick which game to play which strongly emphasized the essence of the game collection (offered in cassettes and disk). This old ad is still amusing to look at.
5. Blasteroids European Print Ad
Blasteroids for the Europeans.Blasteroids, the third entry in Atari’s popular Asteroids games series, was released in European arcades by Image Works and eventually landed on computer systems there. For Europe, the ad makers came up with artwork showing a creepy, green space monster surrounded by a few spaceships to emphasize the game’s concept. The said monster eventually appeared on the game covers of the computer ports of Blasteroids later. This ad shows creative adjustments taken to promote games in different parts of the world.
6. Dream Team USA Japanese Print Ad
The legends of the NBA in the Japanese version of EA’s Team USA Basketball. Retitling the game as Dream Team USA made more sense because “Dream Team” was a much more popular reference than “Team USA Basketball”.Remember how wildly popular the Dream Team (Team USA in Olympic basketball) was in 1992? With NBA legends Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, John Stockton and more representing America in the basketball tournament of the Olympic Summer Games in Barcelona, Spain, the Dream Team (a media-led reference for the team) was easily the main attraction not only for basketball fans worldwide but also those who craved for excitement in international sports events. That said, Electronic Arts secured the license to make an official video game about the Dream Team and actually released the game Team USA Basketball within 1992 for the Sega Genesis. As basketball is popular also in Japan, EA released the game there titled as Dream Team USA and came up with a Japanese print ad to seriously capture gamers’ attention. This ad is still effective in delighting both basketball and video game enthusiasts.
7. Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back And Return Of The Jedi Print Ad
No screenshots of games used. Just the official images from the posters of the two movies.Back in the 1990s, there was a resurgence of the original Star Wars trilogy across different forms of media. Apart from the VHS re-releases of Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, there was a slew of video games of Star Wars released during the decade and the fans had new stuff to entertain themselves with. Along the way, the company THQ secured the rights to Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Super Star Wars: Return of the Jedi for re-release to coincide with the 1997 “Special Edition” theatrical releases of their respective movies. THQ’s print ad simply used official images of Return of the Jedi and inserted a tiny bit of The Empire Strikes Back, and they did not show any screenshots that could have been helpful for Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Game Boy users. Still, it was smart for THQ to print two excerpts of game reviews to sell the games.
8. Super Mario RPG North American Print Ad
A mesmerizing ad for the acclaimed Super Mario RPG.Remember back in the 1990s when Nintendo and role-playing game giant SquareSoft had a very healthy business relationship that proved successful? Before their eventual breakup (related to Square signing with Sony for PlayStation development), the two companies joined forces to make a fully featured role-playing game for the SNES featuring Super Mario and related characters…Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. To promote the game, Nintendo (the publisher) created a mesmerizing 2-page print ad highlighting their characters while emphasizing the role-playing and fantasy aspects of the game. At the time of its release, Super Mario was often identified with platform games and the Super Mario RPG print ad was a serious attempt to lure fans into RPGs which the SNES was already rich with. This ad, which I first saw in gaming magazines in 1996, still looks great.
9. NBA Shootout ’97 Print Ad
Did you play this on PlayStation in 1997?If there is anything I miss about 1990s console gaming, it is the fact that there were a lot of NBA-licensed video games that were offered to players with different tastes in basketball gaming. Sony had its own exclusive NBA games series called NBA Shootout and they were pretty aggressive selling its own basketball games along with the PlayStation going up against the likes of Electronic Arts (NBA Live), Sega and others. This is reflected in this 2-page print ad of NBA Shootout ’97 which was a PlayStation-exclusive release. They featured a photograph of Lakers’ Eddie Jones about to dunk and showed screenshots as well as the descriptive text written with excitement. Since it first started, NBA Shootout was basketball in full 3D polygonal graphics backed with motion-captured moves and dunks that players could enjoy only PlayStation. This ad is a reminder that Sony used to make official NBA games and there is a lack of variety and players’ choice of NBA gaming in today’s world.
10. Legend of Legaia North American Print Ad
Perhaps someone at Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) thought Legend of Legaia was a horror video game.There was a time when Sony produced Japanese RPGs (JRPGs) exclusive for PlayStation consoles. One of them was Legend of Legaia which had a combat system that emphasized martial arts and it had an interesting fantasy concept. For its 1999 North American release, Sony came up with a very bizarre 2-page print ad that had digital artwork with a very strong horror vibe and the visual designs within the three screenshots shown were clearly not related with it. How this ad was made remains unclear. This is easily one of the most misguided gaming ads of the 1990s.

Miyamoto verrät die Ursprünge des berühmten Dash-Mechanismus in Super Mario Bros.
Laut Mario-Schöpfer Shigeru Miyamoto entstand der bekannte Dash-Mechanismus in Super Mario Bros. ursprünglich aus einem Programmierfehler. Im Gespräch mit dem japanischen Magazin Casa Brutus – wie Nintendo Everything berichtet – erzählte Miyamoto, wie es dazu kam. Der Mechanismus existiert seit dem allerersten Teil der Reihe: Hält man beim Laufen die B-Taste gedrückt, erhöht sich Marios Geschwindigkeit, wodurch sich Hindernisse leichter überwinden lassen. Miyamoto […]
Shigeru Miyamoto says making Super Mario Bros. was only possible through working with a team:
There IS a MIyamoto in TEAM

Miyamoto says Super Mario Bros' B-Dash gap running and hidden blocks were the result of glitches:
It's not a bug, it's a feature!
Collector discoveries incredibly rare Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt NES copies:
A once-in-a-lifetime discovery
Changed player's sprite to one that fits the size of the final sprite. Added small jump after stomping on enemies and a very simple level progression.
At this point, I think I already covered most of the basics.
#gamedev #indiedev #godot #20_games_challenge #supermariobros
Power up animation and small UI.
Did you now? According to the Mario Wiki, time decreases every 0.4 seconds. ⌛
#gamedev #indiedev #godot #20_games_challenge #supermariobros
Today I mostly worked on enemy's behavior, had to make some refactors to make them work. Also added a camera and made the level larger with a flagpole that ends the level (though it resets it now as there are no other levels).

I forgot how much of a slog the Super Mario Bros Deluxe Challenge mode was.
But, i am really surprised they haven't brought something like this back.
I suppose the "challenge" nowadays is to get the star coins, but the idea of a score attack in a Mario game isn't a bad idea in the slightest.
Admittedly, for SMB Deluxe it is a little frustrating that hitting all thise score targets doesn't actually get you that crown by the total score bar, you need to go a little above and beyond for that!
In a groundbreaking attempt to blend academia with #gaming #nostalgia, someone decided to apply highbrow #machine #learning concepts to Super Mario Bros. 🏆🎮 Because clearly, what the world needs right now is a PhD-level AI to predict if Mario can finally jump over a Goomba. 🙄✨

This cute little guy is from the original Super Mario Bros. His name is Goomba in English and Kuribō in Japanese.
The game takes place in a mushroom kingdom, so he was modeled after Shiitakes. But one developer thought he resembled a chestnut, and called him Kuribō. This means “chestnut boy” in Japanese.
There’s more to the story, but that’s the gist of his name duality.
