Mike and Jaymo are joined by Margo (aka TikTok’s Mrs.Librarian) as they go down the tubes playing Super Mario Bros (NES, 1985) and The Lost Levels (NES, 1986) as part of their epic quest to research and review every retro game in the Nintendo Switch Online catalog!
In this episode, we try to figure out if the Super Mario Bros box art is a snuff graphic, Mike and Margo go toe-to-toe in Super Mario trivia with Mario Mythbusters, and we trace the origin of the Kaizo Mario craze back to a rare floppy-disk-based Nintendo console not released in North America! Then stick around for NintenDISorDAT, as we debate if these games are better played in the original NES format or their glammed up re-releases from the 1993 SNES compilation Super Mario All-Stars.
