The Hardest Mario Knockoff Ever
#1
Video in four parts.

A Japanese knockoff of the original Super Mario Bros. game. In fact, it pretty much is SMB if it was made by your worst enemy. Doing it as a commission from Satan himself.

Imagine SMB where everything is trying to kill you. The enemies are trying to kill you. The blocks are trying to kill you. The powerups will almost certainly kill you. The clouds kill you. The bonus rooms are almost certain death. And let's not talk about the flagpoles. If you want a measure of how insane this game is, you're given two lives to start with, but when you hit 0, you plummet down deep into the negative numbers.

What interests me most about these videos is not the sheer ingenuity of the, um, designer of this, but rather the almost Pavlovian responses from the player. On more than one occasion I felt that the poor guy at the keyboard had been turned into one of those lab rats that react badly due to being randomly shocked while eating food.

I wouldn't suggest that anyone here play this game, even having seen the video on just how to do everything. It's more of a spectator sport than anything. Remember, he played this game so you don't have to.
When in mortal danger,
When beset by doubt,
Run in little circles,
Wave your arms and shout.
