Nintendo Replayed: Will my old Nintendo games hold up when I play them as an adult?
It's amazing what an adult perspective can bring to these games. The true joy of Super Mario Brothers 3 isn't the superior level design, the vibrant colors, the sweet music, the superb boss battles, the twisting storyline, or even that fucking awesome hammer brothers suit. No, above all else, the joy of Mario 3 at its most base level is the secrets. Every level hides something waiting to be discovered. It's a Raymond Chandler mystery, full of power ups in unexpected places and coins in quantities you can't even imagine. Even better than that, I know where every last one of them are, and that makes me waaaaaaay smarter than you!

This blog is not to be taken seriously. Seriously. I take this seriously, but you shouldn't. You should do what you want, but you'll probably enjoy this more if you don't take anything I say seriously. I mean, I mean what I say, but it's not serious. Oh also, swearing is hilarious. It shouldn't be, but it is.
