This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.
So many comments about how it is meant to artificially extend gameplay, or motivate the player to continue.
Could it not be as simple as the game cartridge only holds 1MB of game data max, and restarting the level from 0 when you die uses less valuable storage space?
I'd go as far as to even implement a 1-Up mushroom cash-shop, $1 for five 1-Ups
Anon invents arcade cabinets
"Green Mario" because the kind of people who have these ideas should fear his true name.

I used to play this game when I was like 10 I don't remember it being particularly frustrating it wasn't easy but I don't remember it being impossibly difficult.
I use save states fuck that paywall BS
Emulators are great. Just found a Family Guy Game iso for PPSSPP after my original PSP died years ago. Now I can play with my favorite controller.
During COVID I beat smb1 for the first time. On Switch. Where you could rewind 😓
I beat this game back in the 80's and I still don't know how
In the 90s I beat smw so hard, all the dragon coins, all the secret exits, tubular, the palette change, etc. it took years. I was convinced there was still more to find in that game even when the gba version came out and I finally had access to walkthroughs. I’m pretty sure I consulted Nintendo power on a few things though
I recently watched a guy play through the nes Bart vs the space mutants though and that was legitimately a like “no kid ever beat this”
Man, that, Battletoads, and TMNT. The NES' Final Boss.
A game is something that has a goal within certain bounds/rules. You accept that when you play and tedium isn't relivent except as maybe a thing you don't like, just like you might not like how a piece feels or character looks or a particular rule.
A toy is something you play with for "fun".
I think people that want a toy accidentally start playing a game then get upset that it isnt a toy.
Why can't/shouldn't a game be both? Plenty of games have easy modes and cheat consoles.
They CAN be, but they are not obligated to be.
Fair enough.
Don't forget to add mounts and pets.
Some kind of plucky green dinosaur would fit in well.
we need that Yoshi armor dlc
