I just randomly click whatever Google's results are that look okay. I downloaded some 3DS shit and aside from random niggress porn popping up I got Dragon Quest 7 with no issue.
Not even Mario 3?

I'm indifferent to the black family ad.
I'm not going to get upset at people for being upset, but I'm at the point where I'm just happy they're not two faggots with some kids tbqh.

He wanted to be in a Playstation ad but Sony said he's not gay enough.
Idk though, image is pretty wholesome. Reminds me of how my dad would play Mario 3 with me when I was little, good times.

SMB3 was 2D Mario's apex and no subsequent release on any platform has reached that height since. Between the technological innovation and sheer hackery it took to make that game work on the NES and the absolutely perfect execution of music, graphics, gameplay mechanics, level design and character controls and movement, it's the best they've ever made. If you've never tried it, give it a go, and you might finally land on a 2D Mario game you like.
Super Mario World was very good, don't get me wrong, but I still think SMB3 is where they got it perfect.
The Super FX chip (for SNES games like Star Fox) got all the hype, but SMB3 was actually the first first-party game to have extra hardware built into the cartridge. They added a chip that enabled split-screen scrolling, which is how the game could display the full-width, stylized "status panel" at the bottom of the screen with your inventory, score, lives, timer, etc. while still showing the fluid full-screen scrolling game world.
They also used every last scrap of system memory they could get; ever notice a handful of "glitchy" pixels on the left side of one row right beneath the gameplay before the status panel? It's visible any time you're in a level (not the world maps or bonus games) and it's constantly updating and changing:
That's an extra bit of display buffer memory they're using as scratch space. Those scanlines were never used during gameplay (they were part of a little border between the gameplay portion and the status panel), so they figured they could get some extra bytes of memory to play with at the "cost" of having a little glitch where people weren't likely to notice. Cool stuff!

Never played Mario 3, although as a game collector I obviously have access to it. Not going to try either, given my general dislike of 2D Mario, the hastle of setting up an NES or Wii, the massive backlog of other shit I have to go through, etc.

Forget the NES version anyway, the SNES remake is much better, and it's available on Switch (idk if the NES one is).

Correct move, it’s really not any better or worse than any other 2d Mario.

I did some research on the different versions, and it turns out, the easiest platform to run A-Train on is UR MOM

Dude they broke the jump physics. How can you claim its in any way better when the only thing you do is broken?

How so? It feels perfect. I barely tried the NES version beyond the first couple stages, but it feels nearly identical to me.

Can't believe Vimm's Lair got hit. It's been up since the 1990s. Probably the start of a big push by Nintendo. If you're into old game, it wouldn't hurt to download all the no intro sets from archive.org. All the pre cd systems + gba don't take up a lot of space.
That's Super Mario Bros. The All Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 3 just has retouched graphics and sound.

Right this is what I get for posting at 4am. The All Stars version of SMB1 is fucked up though.

It’s not fucked up, just slightly different physics. It doesn’t ruin the game or anything.
(There’s also a hack that changes it back to the original if you really want)

I hope the copyright takedown notice is some troll and not the actual NoA because damn that would suck major dick for Vimm to go down like this after 2 whole decades and a half

"No Intro" does not refer to the intro cinematics of the games themselves. Back in the day, groups that used to release cracks and roms would often add little logos to the beginning of the rom or cracked game. So like, you might download game and when you fired it up, it would say, "Brought to you by Ice Devil's Hacking Collective. Find More Great Cracks on our BBS at (555) 555-5555." The no intro sets were just put together as collections of games and roms that were unchanged from the originals and didn't have those intro tags. Putting those little tags on PC games and roms is not common these days, but the "No Intro" collections are still considered the gold standard. All the roms on Vimm were pulled from No Intro sets, for example. The name is a bit of a holdover.
Here's a couple examples I found Googling around real quick:
Back in the 90s, you would sometimes download a NES rom from a random geocities site, and when you loaded it into nesticle, something like the above would pop up before the title screen or sometimes it would even be integrated into the title screen, or written into something like the Mario 2 or Zelda story screens.
