I picked this up used from a friend who was moving away, paid him basically nothing for it, and ended up putting way more hours in than I expected to admit out…

Used, moving away, hours you won't admit... c'est beaucoup de mystère pour dire que tu l'as aimé.

Sigue mereciendo su lugar, sobre todo por el diseño de niveles (aunque hoy hay más opciones para elegir).

Al lado de Super Mario World se nota la diferencia de época, pero no de calidad.

But easy to learn doesn't mean much if I only get to it twenty minutes at a time between other stuff.

I was maybe eight when a cousin handed me the controller and never explained a thing, why does no one warn kids about Wily's stages?
