A full fifth world playthrough of the original "Super Mario Bros." (1985) for the NES.

OZ Retro Gamer note: "Still no deaths to speak of! Although I get extremely overly confident (again) here in 5-4. My super-powered run towards Fake Bowser - complete with Fire Mario... before walking right into him - is gonna disadvantage me greatly come world 6.

World 5 starts well enough with the first 2 levels, but the design laziness starts to creep in with 5-3 and 5-4, with them both being slightly harder versions of levels we've visited previously. This is one of my biggest peeves with the original Super Mario Bros.

5-2 also has a hidden underwater sequence via a hidden pipe - but it's much wiser to skip it in favour of Coin Heaven - believe me!"

Also, I wonder if 5-1 was always designed to be a level 1? It's the only level 1 in the entire game with a small castle at the beginning (instead of a big one)."

KEY STATS:
Secret 1-Up Mushrooms: 1 (5-1)
Secret Areas: 2 (4-1, 4-2 - Coin Heaven)
Secret Starmen: 1 (5-1 - you miss one in 5-2 by going to Coin Heaven)
All Coins in World 5-3: Affirmative
