This game came with my hand-me-down DMG I got for my birthday back in 2001. Thankfully I never made it to the final level back then, pretty sure I would’ve tossed the game out the window after losing 50+ lives. Looking for what I should play next, recommendations welcome :)

The disparity between the final level and any other level in that game is insane. Congrats on the win!
To add to that, I think this may have been the game that started that trend. There was always a difficulty ramp, but the sudden spike level came later in the series. Any Mario platformer these days has a crazy difficulty spike near the end.
I mean, New Super Mario Bros. 2 had an entire DLC called “impossible levels.” And don’t get me started on The Final-Final Challenge in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Wonder as a whole is way easier than most mainline Mario games though. It’s only the secret world that poses any challenge.
Sure. That’s a bit beside the point, though. I was referring to these games based on the hardest levels in them.
That screen doesn’t look right unless you messed your console with some new acreen
Haha yes definitely not original. I put an IPS screen in it over Christmas. Gave me the push I needed to revisit the GB library on semi-official hardware.
That looks amazing!!! Pokémon Red next?
Ps: tutorial for that screen update?
Played yellow when I was younger, never got around to blue or red. Added to the list :)

Good luck :)
Saving that screen link for later. I cannot imagine how great that must look in the old girl.
Oh it’s night and day. It’s really made me appreciate the DMG library. It has a dot matrix mode that emulates the grid of the OEM screen. I flip back and forth from time to time.
If you have a way to load Roms into it, you may want to to try ShinPokéRed. A mod fixing bugs and trainer Ai.
Yep I have a flashcart. I’ll def give it a look before I start Red version!
When I was a kid I bought one of these weird magnifying lens/lighting attachments for my game boy so I could play it when I was supposed to be asleep. I know what you did somehow desecrates the historical hardware but if I had the opportunity to get that mod in 1990 then I would’ve done whatever I could to afford that backlit screen!
I was really hoping this was going to be a patient gamer shitpost lol
If you have a GBC I would recommend super Mario bros deluxe. gives you SMB and the Japanese SMB 2 along with a bunch of of unlockable QoL fun feature like time attack, save files, and a red coin challenge.
I never finished this game as a kid . I had this with my original no color gameboy. Not sure how my mom paid for it . But she did go to jail one Christmas for shoplifting so maybe she didn’t lol .
Oh man I was confused and thought there was a sequel for Super Mario World for a second :(
Wasn’t Yoshis Island the sequel to the original Super Mario World on the SNES?
I’ve heard that super Mario Wonder is more of a sequel but yeah I think you’re right.
I could definitely see this with the map layout and whatnot. Obviously they’ve had the entire super Mario bros (+, 2, etc) series throughout their modern consoles but wonder really, to me, brings back the “woah look at all these new places” type feel back
Say what you will about Nintendo but you gotta admit them keeping around this franchise and keeping it “hot” is pretty impressive
Oh I wish. I think that might be my favourite Mario game of all time. Or maybe Mario 64.
How many hours did it take? Congrats
Maybe 5 or 6 hours total? One hour was just trying to beat thee Wario level over and over.

Exactly what you didn’t know you were looking but, in the back of your mind, you really were.
That is great! Never too late to get rid of the old backlog.
I only played the first one now that I remember haha.
I’ll always prefer SML 1.
But I do fondly remember this.
The game always reminds me of being in the hospital getting my adenoids removed in 1992.
Hah! I beat that back in the early 90s when it first came out and again recently using an emulator. It’s a great little game!
