Shaun wrote about the magic of SMW, and I wanted to share my two cents.
My household was a year or two late to the 16-bit era, and when we finally sold our NES (epic regret) and got a Super Nintendo, it was the SMW-less core system. Though we borrowed the game from friends numerous times over the ensuing years, we never ended up buying it, and my game-playing skills being what they were — very bad – the era came and went for me without even really getting to know Mario’s 16-bit adventure.
This all changed two years ago when I downloaded the game on the Virtual Console, jimmy-rigged a Hori Digital Pad, and dove into it headfirst.
