Landmark: This was a launch title in the US. One of 30 original "black box" games.
Easter eggs: a) In World 1-2, stand on the horizontal pipe near the exit of the underground area and break the second and third bricks from the right (you must be a large Mario to do this). Position Mario at the left side of the pipe, with one foot hanging off the edge. b) Press A and Start after a game over and you will continue on the last world you were on.

Santulli Slant: This little-known game features a funny little plumber who pummels his cartoon-like opponents by jumping on them! It's surprising a game like this didn't get popular, I could easily have envisioned a sequel or two in a parallel universe. As such, I'm sending this Guide off to a parallel universe with the hopes that "Mario" and his wonderful adventures get the credit they deserve. If you're reading this from that universe, let me know how things turned out. [Gr: 6, So: 6, Ga: 8, Ov: 7]
