This third European version of Mario Bros. has the pacing improvements of the 1991 PAL version, the air control, bigger, non-flickering sprites with more arcade-accurate color, invisible platforms, icicles, more generous bonus stage timing, and more arcade-like stage order of the 1988 Japanese Famicom Disk System kiosk version, enemy stage intros from the arcade version, and even faster play speed!
And there's the turtles-in-their-t-shirt animation! = D
My high score so far is about 20K higher than my US version high score. ^ _^ The air control--a brand new feature introduced in the Disk System version, not something that was in the arcade version!--really changes the game!
Oh! I forgot to set the aspect ratio back to PAL for that last run at the Classic Serie version. So Luigi is in NTSC aspect ratio and framerate, bit jerky. = o Oh yeah actually I can't really play this version in NTSC aspect ratio because that changes the framerate too, I mean I can but it'll be kinda jerky and weird like this.
Kinda want to do an episode where I do play as Luigi+Mario at once, that's pretty fun. ^) ^
