Let’s Play – All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. (Part 1)

I’ve finally obtained a copy of the ROM for the All Night Nippon version of Super Mario Bros.. If you’ve not heard of it, it’s a version of SMB made back in 1986 as a promotional game for the All Night Nippon radio show in Japan. The game was only released in Japan for the Famicom Disk System, and is quite a rare find.

Here’s part one of my five-part Let’s Play on this game, wherein I go all the way through, from stage 1-1 to 8-4, showing off all the differences from the original SMB to this version.

Let’s Play – Super Mario Bros. ROM-hack (Part 1)

I’ve finished my first Let’s Play, and all six parts have been posted to YouTube. I had to redo the first part, though, owing to problems with me figuring out the best and quickest way of editing together my video and audio files.

But here it is, part one:

The other five parts are also posted. I’m in the midst of uploading my two-part overview of the NES game Ultima: Exodus for the NES.

If you have any suggestions for NES or SNES games I should do for future Let’s Plays, let me know. @Purplemontart on twitter has suggested I do The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, so that’s now on my list.
