Last week was spring break for my boys. I took the week off too. I introduced my youngest to retro gaming — including SMB. As I was going through the game, I was explaining to him the various tricks — hidden one-ups, pipes, and of course timing the flagpole for fireworks.
He’s 10. And he loves retro gaming now. Final Fantasy is his new fave.

Make sure you jump at the right time to get fireworks!

Unless you're speedrunning, then you want no/as little fireworks as possible

You should also clip into the bottom and don't miss the frame bus ;>

What the hell is this thing? It looks like stairs but has no guardrails, it doesn't appear to cross the highway... what the hell is it?

Half done, abandoned pedestrian crossing?

That confused awkward pause in the game and around you and your friends when you somehow overshoot the flag pole.

Yup, when we did it, we were so excited, but then just kept running right until the timer ran out.

Remember using a game genie to clear it all together endless rubbing awaited I was a bit disappointed
