It's weird to go back to this game after so many years. I've been spoiled by fancy graphics and sound. The game was running at > 300 FPS until I turned VSync on, now it's much smoother.
This is probably one of my most favorite games of all times. I must have spent hundreds of hours playing it as a kid. I remember saving a hammer suit from the Ice World until Bowser's castle and using it to kill him in 3 hits, instead of letting him kill himself as usual.
Anyway, it was fun to play this game again today. I still remember where all the secret whistles are. Even though I'm horribly out of practice and kept dying, I was still enjoying the nostalgia of this game. This game is the easiest Mario game on the NES, as it's very liberal about doling out 1ups and continues. That's alright because the game is so big, it would be a huge drag to get halfway through and then have to start over.
It took me an hour just to get a third of the way through the third world (going for 100% completion). I'm really out of practice at this...

Zinn's opinion and rating for this game
One of the best platformers of all time. Easy to play through, yet hard to master. This game introduced many characters and gameplay mechanics that are ubiquitous with modern Mario games.
