All right. I tell you what.

I will buy NSMBWii when I can beat SMB and SMB3. There. That's my goal.

Guess I better get to practicing.

SMB1 has continues.  Can you get to world 8, either with warps or without?  If you can get to world 8, you can get a mushroom in 8-1 and then get fireballs in 8-2.  Then it's a piece of cake.  The hard part will be surviving 8-1 and 8-2 until you get the fireballs.  But the game has continues, so you can go back to 8-1 and start small an unlimited amount of times.

SMB3 probably has a harder world 8, but tighter controls and tons and tons and tons of power-ups.  SMB3 is easier to beat without warps, because you accumulate tons of power-ups throughout the whole game.  But a speedrun of that takes about 3 times as long as a speedrun of SMB1.  But I blame that on the tank and boat levels that you can't just whiz through, and the time wasted on the map.

If I had a way to transfer VHS to YouTube, I could upload videos of myself beating these games, and give you a personally-crafted Super Guide!
