Shouldn't this be moved to Super Mario Bros 2 (Japan)? Its only refered to as Super Mario bros: Lost Levels in SMAS. GreenKoopa - Comments or questions?

I'd say so, but what does the Virtual Console release call it? That'd be the most recent name. (I think it's just Super Mario Bros. 2, and if that's the case we oughtta move it to Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan)...) YELLOWYOSHI398

I have it on VC, but can't check due to the fact that I can't get to mah wii. GreenKoopa - Comments or questions?

Original FDS Version: World 9

Please be aware that in the original FDS version, entering a warp zone will not disqualify the player from going to World 9. The only requirement is that the player complete all 8 castles in the course of the game.

For those who would open it up in FCEUXD SP or FCEU ABS, monitoring RAM address $07FA, you can see that is what the game checks, after you rescue the Princess, against the value #$FF. If it matches, then the game allows World 9 to load, otherwise it proceeds to reload the first part of the disk to return to the title screen. As the player beats each castle, a bit corresponding to the world (1 is lowest bit, then 2, all the way to the highest bit which is world 8) is set, which helps the game check that all 8 worlds were beaten. Entering a warp zone does not affect $07FA and several play-throughs of the game where I used forward and backward warp zones, but still beat all 8 castles, confirmed that entering a warp zone does not disqualify the player from entering World 9.

Please be aware that this only applies to the original FDS version, as I have confirmed that using a warp zone in All Stars will disqualify you from being able to go to World 9. Also, I have confirmed that even if you already have World 9, entering a warp zone then saving will cause you to forfeit it.

In the original FDS version, however, a play-through of the game where I used backward and forward warp zones, but completed all 8 castles regardless, will show that you can still enter World 9.

Try it.

Getting to world 9

I just beat level 8-4 in the Super Mario All Stars version, but I never got world 9. However, I did get world A-1. Is A-1 supposed to world 9 or did I miss something?

Please keep all discussion not relating to the improvement of this article to the forum. YosharioFile:Yoshi wearing mario's hat.jpg
