There's a Mario fangame that updated days ago and people are complaining that they physics are too slippery, despite the fangame's author clearly stated they're making the physics 1:1 to Super Mario Maker 1/2.
It's simple, but I wouldn't call it primitive. Maybe a bit floaty, but you can negate that by adjusting your position midair when you jump. If you want to experience a very slippery Mario game try The Lost Levels playing as Luigi.
Pfft, for someone who must have played the game a lot, I'm not surprised you said that! About adjusting position midair... yep, that's asking a bit much, because no game has physics like this any more.
Super Mario All-Stars was one of the first SNES games I got when I was a kid, so I played it a lot back then. I remember getting it on Christmas day and playing it nonstop for more than 7 hours until I got a headache, I think my parents had gone out, since I wasn't allowed to play for more than 2 hours per day at that point in time.
For speedrunners I imagine that running for a few less frames does make a huge impact, but for casual playthroughs I think the game is pretty lenient, and the issue becomes less about clearing the pit and more about jumping too far and the momentum causing you to slip off a ledge, which is where repositioning comes in handy.It feels like running for 1 ms longer is the difference between jumping across a wide pit and falling halfway across. When it's that crazy, I think adjusting midair (slower than later established, at that) is a bit less of a concern
I just found out that in the original NES version, when you get a game over and get sent back to the title screen, you can hold the A button before pressing start, and this will also send you to level 1-1 on the world you were in, which is pretty cool, but apparently it's not mentioned anywhere in the manual.
Well, I wasn't doing a speedrun, and the unusual ramp-up of speed did matter, a lot!
Mario Bros. arcade says hiIt's fine. Definitely a game of its time with lives and permanent death, albeit helped significantly by the inclusion of warp pipes. Sure, it is not the first game that featured Jump Man/Mario, but it is the first Mario game, and for the ideas it brought and that stayed in future titles, I think it's a great game.
Also, I feel like beyond 2D Mario games still releasing to this day, Mario Maker is probably the series that keeps this game relevant the most. That being said, I feel like everyone has seen 80s Mario, so I don't think he has to be featured so often in promotional material
I still like playing the 1980 game Carnival, as well as Phoenix, Centipede, Joust, Donkey Kong and Galaxian. SMB on NES almost seems next gen compared to them. You won't find me bashing old videogames.
