It is also one of the earliest copies of the game to be shrink wrapped instead of having a sticker seal, according to the auction company. The unopened game was professionally graded by WataGames and had a score of 9.6/A+, according to the news release, which called it “the finest copy known to have been professionally graded for auction.” “It stayed in the bottom of my office desk this whole time since the day I bought it,” said the unidentified seller in the release. While these tricks may blow your mind, you can save your breath blowing into dirty NES cartridges: that old trick never really worked.The Dallas-based auction company said the NES cartridge was purchased as a Christmas gift in 1986, and was untouched until the seller found it earlier this year. The news follows a similar revelation in 2018 that the duck in Duck Hunt could be controlled by a second player using a controller. The trick should work on the original NES cartridge, as well as the Wii U and Switch Online versions. It wasn’t included in the manual for the game, so it would have likely been disclosed via gaming magazines or word of mouth. The video has caused some controversy, with some ‘80s players insisting they already knew of the “hack” and others discovering it for the first time. Pressing A and Start means you can resume the game in 5-1 instead of 1-1. But if you press the A button and then Start after being killed once back on the home screen, Mario will be automatically transported to the last world he was in. Normally, players who run out of lives have to begin the game at level 1-1, even if they progressed all the way to world 8. It turns out the game was a lot easier to play than it seemed: Players didn’t have to start the entire thing over when they ran out of lives.Īccording to Lifehacker, the feature was recently excavated in a now-viral TikTok video from RetroGamingOnline. The game, which pits swarthy Italian plumber Mario against Bowser and his minions, was bundled with the system and became a productivity-killing pastime for millions of children and adults.
When Japanese video game company Nintendo decided to target the North American market in 1985, they knew their chances of success hinged on the public response to Super Mario Bros.
