Title: I own Super Mario Bros.
Post by: UncleBob on November 13, 2020, 12:05:33 PM
I own Super Mario Bros.

I own it on the NES.  On a dedicated cart, in a Duck Hunt compilation cart, and on a compilation cart with Duck Hunt and World Class Track Meet.  Hell, I probably have four or five of the SMB+Duck Hunt carts.

I own it on the Super Nintendo.  Both in Super Mario All-Stars and the +Super Mario World version.

I own it on the Game Boy Color.  Super Mario Bros. DX.  Twice, actually.  Can't play You vs. Boo without two!

I kinda own it on the GameCube.  I have it in Animal Crossing, although it had to be unlocked with a GameShark.

I own it on the Game Boy Advance, via the NES Classics release.

I own it on the Wii, having a copy of Super Mario All Stars.

I own it on the Wii U, both the Wii Virtual Console version and the Wii U Virtual Console version.

I own it on the 3DS, originally via the Ambassador Program.

I own it on the NES Mini.

I can play it on my Switch via the NES or SNES online option.

I also own an official physical arcade cabinet with the similar yet superior Super Mario Bros. Vs. (which I also own on the Switch via Arcade Archives).

I have no shortage of options for playing Super Mario Bros.

So why the hell did I just buy *two* SMB Game and Watches?

Because you love me and are sending the extra to a close personal friend?  :rolleyes:

I don't have that many, but still quite a lot. I only wish the other old versions got special treatment as well over the years.

I bought two Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. though I'm giving one to a friend. I have considered having one to open and play around with and keeping another in a box as a collectable. I'm trying not to collect things anymore. I just thought Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. looked cool. Nintendo knows it can release things like this, and people will push an old lady to the ground to get one.*

*I didn't have to push an old lady to the ground as there were plenty Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros. to go around. I pushed her to the ground because she looked sus.

Congrats. The first step in solving a problem is recognizing there is one. I support you on your journey of recovery from Super Mario Bros. addiction.

Sounds like Super Mario Bros. owns you, tbh.  ;)

Yeah, I'm super jealous. Completely outdid my post. Not much time left in the year now to surpass this.

Collection won't be complete until he goes to Japan and buys the original source code.

I'm a little surprised Khushrenada hasn't hosted forum awards such as "post of the year."

I recall he did once and awarded himself all the accolades.

Was I wrong? :smug:


I don't recall doing that but it has an air of believability. Maybe you were thinking of a previous signature?

I'm confident we did do awards at one point, I embellished your part because I'm sure someone gave themselves something and you are the person I would guess to do that.

Found the thread for 2009 (https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=6422.0)! Lets see what really went down!

Wow that thread. Nice seeing the responses.   I think back then I was very energetic and kinda silly in the threads to being a certain type of energy to the threads.

Aww, I was best new poster! Look how far I've fallen from my potential! I was really trying to make a good impression when I abandoned my old username from way back in the day and "rebranded myself" as Stratos. I wasn't much of a poster on my old username so I didn't really abandon much.

Well, well, well. Looks like it is the end of the road for Stratos. Gotta ban those dupe accounts.

I'm trying not to collect things anymore.
