This video was an attempt at showing a seamless transformation of Super Mario's character sprite through the first four Super Mario games. Secondly, all of the death animations are shown (for some reason?). Next, I show the areas of the first three games where you can fill the screen with brick tiles. And lastly, I show a cheap and easy method for beating Super Mario Bros 3.


**NOTICE**
This footage was recorded by me, a gamer of average skill. The recorded video is novel only because of its age, taped before the benefit of GameFAQs or access to other online assistance. The only help available came in the form of gaming magazines and word of mouth. Otherwise, expect an unremarkable run through the game featured.

The original tapes were recorded in EP (SLP), transferred to DVD recorded in LP (four hours per single-density DVD), ripped using a lossy video format, split, combined, stretched to standard SD, and reencoded with another lossy format, and then finally YouTube adds its own compression. Each transfer introduces more degradation of quality. On CRT, the original tapes and first-generation DVD recordings look clearer and more vibrant than what's being shown here. Reference quality transfer wasn't required, my old tapes are only important to me.
