Have you ever beaten smb without warps?

[manuel]

You mean the infinite lives trick?
If so, that's not a bug. It's intended to be there. Or so I think.

[Jedi Master Baiter]

Yeah, & I've gotta say - it's not easy (coming from someone who's beaten Ninja Gaiden III without cheating).  I dislike mazes.

[nintendodork]

Yeah it does, look at the world.

It proves that he got to 8-4, but it doesn't prove whether that he got there without warps.

[cubelmariomadness]

Oh, yeah. I thought you meant that it doesn't prove he beat it.

[nensondubois]

so, 3 people say No way man not even close?

[DDCecil]

It proves that he got to 8-4, but it doesn't prove whether that he got there without warps.

Look at the score (I didn't do the 1-UP trick and I didn't lose a life!). If that doesn't cut it, I'll make a video!  

Here's me at 4-4, past the point of warps:

Yep. Many times

8-4 is the hardest....

[nensondubois]

8-4 isn't that hard unless you are mini Mario, than it's difficult.

And even then the only hard part is getting past the Hammer Brother and the Podoboo at the end, just before the final Bowser

[nensondubois]

Podoboo? I don't recall... one of those?

[Nightstar699]

I think those are the fire balls... Right?

[nintendodork]

Yup.  Fire ball things = Podoboo.

I'm not sure if that's how you spell it though.

[Mindfreak]

8-4 isn't that hard unless you are mini Mario, than it's difficult.

That happens alot when I play lol

but like the mazes and stuff...it's all fun...but it can get hairy...

[Ryo]

yes of course

[Cam3ron@FW]

No, I haven't... I don't even think I beat any of them other than SMW & maybe Mario 2 (Jap) on my own.  I usually play with one of my brothers.  Best way to play mario, I say!

I know a few months back, I went through and played every mario game on the NES & SNES excluding SMW 2.  I got to world six or seven in SMB, world ? in SMB 2, world 8 in SMB 2 (Jap) and beat 78 levels in SMW along with beating it...

Edit: world 8 in SMB 3, I can never get by that pitch black level
