Gosh, yeah! I remember I almost cried when I watched the credits. I wasn't grown up back then but I knew I had just finished something very special. Also, the last fight against bowser! The first two times you just had to throw him into a bomb once but in the last fight he even destroyed part of the platform. And that music!
Jeez, there's so much magical stuff in that game:
- Mario's head in the beginning to play with
- The actual start of the game
- Jumping into a painting to start a level! Never been done in a game before!
- Entering Bob-omb Battlefield ("omg! This is what 3D levels look like?")
- Jolly Roger's Bay (the music!)
- Using the wing cap for the first time
- Being able to walk through walls and turn into fucking Metal Mario!
- First fight against bowser
- The Giant / Mini level
...the list just goes on lol. Today that stuff would be nothing special but back then it had never been done before! It was crazy exciting. Every single level contained some element that had never been seen before in such a way. The only thing that came close to this was Ocarina of Time.
