You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
You know what I always found weird? People online who say "SNES" or "Super NES".
Everyone I've ever heard talk about the console IRL has called it "Super Nintendo".
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."

I find it funny that I seem to be one of few people here who grew up on Sega and later PlayStation rather than Nintendo.
I asked my mother about it once...apparently when my parents decided to buy a Genesis instead of a Super Nintendo, it was because they'd played NES to death and considered Nintendo old hat. That, and our neighbors had a Super Nintendo, so having one of each between all of us meant they could play at each other's houses.

That reminds me of when I first tried to swim while holding the run button. It works as intended... for a limited number of presses, and then you suddenly come to a standstill. I wonder if that's a glitch on SMBX's part.
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
The Genesis/Megadrive wasn't a bad machine, but Sega really could have made some better choices in regards to its design, especially in the video processing department. I'm sure it wouldn't have been too much of a stretch to implement more colors on-screen at a time than 64 and considering their afterburner/galaxy force arcade hardware, a simple scaler. Hell, Atari's Lynx included a scaler.

Pffft, that's crazy. They had BLAST PROCESSING, which is how they did what Nintendidn't!
also one of the worst games for the Dreamcast was later ported to the Xbox (it came out right around the transition period between the two) and became one of the best games on that system. Or at least one of my personal favorites.

One thing that always amused me: the first North American model of Genesis proudly has 16-BIT emblazoned on the top of it, but the second model (which came out after the more powerful Super Nintendo was on the market) does not.
In Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, if you equip the Holy Water subweapon as Richter and press Triangle, you can create a "Hydro Storm" which causes it to raise holy water.

I know you're just kidding around here, but in terms instructions per seconds the fastest machine of the 16-bit era was.... the 8 bit Turbografx-16, followed by the Super Nintendo. Mhz doesn't mean anything except in webcomics
The Jaguar's CPU was the same one the Sega Genesis used, just clocked a little higher. The "64-bit" portion of the machine was in the GPU (the graphics chipset) which was a 32-bit RISC at its core, but had 64-bit bandwidth. The first Pentium CPU did this exact same thing but Intel wasn't stupid enough to market it as "64-bit".
Well I am terrible at games so I will probably need to life farm.
My point is that there are two green mushrooms in the first level and after I figure out how to beat Birdo repeating the level should be easy enough to justify getting two extra lives if I get stuck.

The whole bit war always amused me: an attempt on the marketer's part to reduce the system's capabilities to a single number to try to make it sound more impressive than its competitor. And it worked.
Something similar happened with digital cameras in the mid-2000s--they would always promote how many "megapixels" they had, instead of, you know, whether or not the photographs actually look good.

Not really - people kept buying SNES and Genesis even after the Jaguar and other MOAR BITS consoles came out.
Fun fact: I discovered the AVGN, indirectly, through Runescape. Back when I had no idea as to what constituted a good forum (i.e. when I was ten) I saw a thread on the RS forums entitled "Bible Games." I remember it was really weird; people were discussing a nonexistent Bible adventure game. Honestly, it would be a thread that would be right at home here, but I digress. Anyway, someone mentioned that there are real Bible games and told everyone to look them up on Youtube, I did so, and discovered the AVGN.

My first console was a Dreamcast.
Anyway Imi, I'm not entirely sure if I'm even playing your level set. I selected Black Candles at the screen though.
Is the squid who does not care for bombs your doing?
Also this engine has some strange and frankly disappointing quirks, why can I not jump while running?
No you can't. Unless I'm doing it wrong.
I can run, and then quickly release the run key to do a run-jump, but I can't press the jump key while running. It does nothing.
Also I have yet to beat the first level and have already died seven times. That is not a joke or exaggeration.
Honestly the controls seem very loose and slippery in general. I'm having a really hard time controlling Mario.
I'm going to see if this thing has controller support, because if it does I'll use that.

so many memories with that thing.

I thought the note block/spike wall might be a bit much, but I figured I'd put it out there and see what people thought.

Do you know what this game is?

Genesis: 16 BIT !!!!!!!!!!!
so hey I literally cannot figure out how to beat the first boss.
I thought maybe I was supposed to grab her eggs, but that just killed me.
I deliberately made it so that the Special World gives you absolutely no opportunity to get any.
