I played Pitfall when I was a kid and it completely sucked compared to Super Mario Bros.

 

      However, your profile says your 26, and Pifall is 27 years old.  Looking at it this way is what is called historicity in historical studies.  You are removing something from its time and trying to compare it with something from a later time that may create an unfair comparison that is actually far from the reality of what had happened.  If you were 10 years old when Pitfall came out and had never heard of Super Mario Brothers there is a distinct possibilty that you would have viewed it differently.

No, Pitfall didn't suck at platforming.  It was clearly superior to the original Mario Brothers
Look, if you don't stop backpedaling, you're going to fall off the pier.
