Brilliant find, Submitter

Superb!

nice one smitty, but didn't bullet bill go from right to left?

 
Farker_974 2006-08-13 02:02:30 PM  
pretty cool game

 
servoled [TotalFark] 2006-08-13 02:03:12 PM  
I don't get it...

 
aenimation 2006-08-13 02:04:00 PM  
how does it work?

 
crunch-o-matic 2006-08-13 02:05:00 PM  
Bullet Bill moves too fast

 
vertigo32 2006-08-13 02:06:26 PM  
Excellent. That was a bit tricky, but fun.

 
BlackPete 2006-08-13 02:06:44 PM  
Wow... that was a lot harder than I expected. More fun too. Took me many tries to get to 1-2.

Brilliant!

aenimation: how does it work?

It apparently doesn't in firefox. Unless the game is looking at a static graphic all day.

As the owner of a Nintendo DS with Mario 64, New Mario, and Mario Kart, I have to say that I didn't like this game.

 
aptracy 2006-08-13 02:09:45 PM  
Ah, Super Mario Bros. The one and only greatest video game in the history of mankind. Eat it, Pac-Man. Screw you, Sonic! Take that, Frogger! Lara Croft who??

My aunt owned an arcade when I was a kid, and my cousin and I spent days on end playing the arcade Super Mario Bros. We used to have contests on who could finish the game faster (no warping allowed).

We had some clever nicknames for the baddies. For example, Lakitu was renamed Lakitu "Dickfarker."

Did you click the link below the static graphic that says "Play The Game Now"?

/using Firefox

whoa.

Anyone else get a Battletoads flashback?

Nah, I'm sure there are at least two or three people who have been in comas since 1981 who haven't played a video game either.

I call B.S. No one who visits fark.com enough to have an account from May 2005 has not played, in some fashion, a video game (and I'm including computer games, like Solitare).

While there is some diversity on fark, there isn't enough where one hasn't played a computer game. Nah.

g92vr4: nice one smitty, but didn't bullet bill go from right to left?

Literacy is a wonderous thing. Try it out.


From the link:
Two quick comments and then you can begin. Bullet Bill always moved right to left, but this version plays it traditional style, moving left to right, but that's a small detail.

 
jsto64 2006-08-13 02:21:37 PM  
wow thats fast

 
BlackPete 2006-08-13 02:22:31 PM  
OK... 1-3 I don't like so much. You really have to memorize the level to get through.

passwords so far: Q3TH6, R7BQ1

 
Froze 2006-08-13 02:23:46 PM  
man, I can't put my finger on the song clip at the beginning screen.

must...find...song. help!

 
AstroMech 2006-08-13 02:26:53 PM  
Thanks a ton for that, Submitter.

I have too many video games.

 
hatechall 2006-08-13 02:27:27 PM  
Yes, I agree 1-3 was really difficult.

(PW to 1-4 - S6MBS)

I believe you're looking for Daft Punk - Robot Rock.

/ur welcome.

 
MeltMan274 2006-08-13 02:29:19 PM  
Intro Song was Robot Rock by Daft Punk from the album Human After All

Actually I had visions of Kid Icarus.

/Goddamn that was awesome.

Dang, I double checked it against the real song to make sure before posting, and you beat me to it ;)

For those with slower reaction times. Go directly to the swf, then shrink the height of your window.

You have to paste it in your URL box, lest it redirect you to the main page.

It's been a while, but I think it's the Mario Bros. theme music...the original 1983 Mario Bros. where you hit the underside of a platform to turn turtles and lobster upside-down before kicking them and killing them. Hmmm....gotta look that up now...

 
64nDh1 2006-08-13 02:34:26 PM  
Needs mushrooms or equivalent. Really irritating to always die from one mistake. Gave up on 1-3.

 
Kimball_Kinnison 2006-08-13 02:36:03 PM  
LAME

 
SilentStrider [TotalFark] 2006-08-13 02:36:31 PM  
wow that takes me back.
If you don't get why this is cool, then quite frankly, you're just not cool.

 
dirkus_maximus 2006-08-13 02:39:28 PM  
Worked fine in firefox 1.5.0.6, servoled, check your plugins?

titwrench I'm calling BS on that one. If you're a fark reader, you have played a video game before. The only people who haven't played a video game at som point in their lives are the ones who are afraid to touch computers because they are of TEH DEBIL!!11 and would never read, much less post on, Fark. That's kind of a pathetic attempt at trolling, EconAtheist's troll was much more effective.

EconAtheist: Nice bridge, how high's the rent?

 
Five Minute Standup 2006-08-13 02:39:58 PM  
Damn those upside down trees. Damn them all to hell!

 
BlackPete 2006-08-13 02:45:55 PM  
music's from SMB2 btw... the end credits said so.

Something odd happened while I was playing -- I was on 2-3 and died... and I somehow warped to 2-4?! That's the last level btw..

And 2-4 had me breathing flames when I died again... and again... and again...

Passwords:
Q3TH6 (1-2)
R7BQ1 (1-3)
S6MB5 (1-4)
K1CF8 (2-1)
U5MA1 (2-2)
P7WC9 (2-3)
Don't have the password for 2-4... :(

 
KingKunt 2006-08-13 02:46:36 PM  
Hopefully this will start a whole Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead trend of minor characters getting their own game. How about:

Mike Tyson's Punch Out: Mario the referee
Legend of Zelda: The shopkeeper
Donkey Kong: a barrel
Duckhunt: that farking dog

 
BlackPete 2006-08-13 02:48:35 PM  
Strange... I went back and tried 2-3 again, and it happened again -- I died and warped to 2-4.

 
Kyle5FP 2006-08-13 02:49:00 PM  
From the article: "We Say: When can we be the bouncing swans?!"

That made me want to shoot myself in the face.

Kurtist

you da man!

 
hatechall 2006-08-13 02:52:20 PM  
2-4 is the end. There is no password.

 
fonebone45 2006-08-13 02:52:40 PM  
this

is



AMAZING!!

 
PenguinTheRed [TotalFark] 2006-08-13 02:54:05 PM  
I just had a farking seizure and I still never made it past level 2. I never even saw Mario or Luigi. I need to go lie down for a while.

 
BlackPete 2006-08-13 02:55:12 PM  
2006-08-13 02:52:20 PM hatechall: 2-4 is the end. There is no password.

If this was directed at me, then what I meant was I couldn't get the password to warp *to* 2-4 since I just warp there after dying in 2-3.

 
MechaAlice [TotalFark] 2006-08-13 02:56:50 PM  
Man I suck at this.

 
beoswulf 2006-08-13 03:05:50 PM  
It doesn't feel natural to aim for the goombas.

 
Weta 2006-08-13 03:20:40 PM  
Worldspawn

Yeah... it reminds me of the later bike (with the lazery walls of doom). Easier, though.

 
feepness 2006-08-13 03:24:25 PM  
beoswulf: It doesn't feel natural to aim for the goombas.

Yes it feels much more natural to run away from the little mushrooms with legs unless I manage to jump on their heads or get a flower and then shoot them with fireballs.

Definitely. Much more natural.
