I was in my mid 30s when I found out that you could hold some button when continuing after game over in Super Mario Bros to continue in the world you died.
We just got gud and abused the turtle shell stair 1up.
You could do what now?
I am legitimately angry to only be learning this now
It was in the manual
I watched a video recently about tool assisted Speedruns which actually educated me on why this worked. An issue with the sound card and the way user input was handled allowed certain button combinations to cause Random Code Execution. It’s actually possible to beat one of the Mario games (can’t remember the name right this second) on the first frame using this method, but it requires a ridiculous amount of inputs
Whelp… that was wild!
What’s the CVE?
It’s impressive because after dropping all those coins into arcade machine he could still afford some smokes.
You just steal those from your mom.
Coins or smokes?
