We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I am already hoping that Nintendo does this with other classic games like Mario 3.
There is something so satisfying about playing this as someone who was born in 1985. It makes me feel like I haven't lost those old school NES platformer skills.

I could see them doing that in January, maybe as part of a special mode.
You don't throw Lost Levels courses in there at the start haha.
I don't think mixing multiple games is the way to go because each game would require a different skill set.
But man, I am definitely hoping for Mario 3 35 eventually. Maybe even some sort of randomly generated Zelda 35 or working with a third party developer to make something happen.
Mega Man 35 with random stages from 1-6?
Having a blast with this, played three games and placed 5th and then 3rd before winning my last game. Can't wait to jump back in. I bounced off Tetris 99 pretty quickly because I'm not a big puzzle game guy outside of Panel de Pon, but I can see myself playing this a ton.
Yeah. I lost my first game because of a terrible button press but got first two other times and second two times as well.
Loving it.
I'm pretty sure it adds it to the rotation of possible levels that everyone can get.
Got my first win.
A few impressions:
A few impressions:
- Any level that ends in 3 sucks (1-3 is particularly bad). There's little solid ground (which means that it's easy to fall into a pit and die instantly), and this, by extension, is not conducive to long enemy chains.
- I feel that chaining enemy kills is overpowered. You can get 60+ seconds on the clock with a good Koopa chain. Maybe have the amount of time given for killing an enemy increase by 1 for each 3 or so enemy kills (instead of 1 for each enemy kill).
- In addition, 1-2 is really good because you get to choose which level you exit via Warp Zone.
- I really like how Fire Flowers are balanced - it makes killing enemies easy, but enemies that you kill by fire give less time then if you'd kill them via normal means.

Won my first game, did what I read here somewhere, went back in 1-1 after 1-2, had also a flower, played carefully not to lose it, it was a matter of time.
I went there and I'm drunk but I didn't see the thing. Will check thing tomorrow.
This is what got me my win - one of the Koopa's on 1-1 was next to an insane chain of other enemies. I had over 100 seconds left by the time 2nd place timed out.
Can't imagine the game will just disappear into the ether in March unless the playerbase just dies.
I'm thinking Nintendo adds SMB2, 3 and World. There's your $59.99 game. This is just the beta version of that. It's free until March, then pay us please.

They had no problem removing four sword anniversary edition forever, I wouldn't bet on that at all.
It's an amazing game, and a bit easier to get number 1 than with Tetris 99 lol!
As I said in the other thread, you can download it with a Japanese account if it's not in your region yet!

I think it's based upon the number of players left alive, that way two people don't get stuck in a never ending match.
I'm not having fun right now but I'll keep playing to see if it clicks. Tetris 99 hooked me in 1 second.
When it gets down to the last 2-3 players this game gets really boring. The game doesn't seem to have a good way of pushing the action the way Tetris 99 does (making the blocks fall extremely fast). I've seen more people die to falling off the stage or timing out then actually getting a KO near the end, neither of which is particularly satisfying for anyone involved.
The way it works is that once you get to 5 players left, the timer counts down much faster.
This is super fun but it really reminded me how much I dislike how Super Mario bros. played. Mario just feels so slippery, the momentum is weird and the hitboxes are jank as hell.
Won my first, and now got four wins from 25 games. This is heaps of fun, even just running between 1-1 and 1-2 for 80% of the time, it gets a lot better as you unlock more levels too.
It's also convenient that you don't go too slow and safe on leves, because many other players could get to 1-4 and send you hordes of Bowsers in your 1-2. That's fun!
Special battle is where its at. It forces a random first stage out of a pool at the start so you'll see more than 1-1 since right now the game is so new most people pick it / have limited stages. Seems the competition is a bit harder there too than the regular 35 mode. I won a few times so far but I've dropped some games just from playing sloppy and being rusty. Couple second places here and there because of that.
