Video

The video guides the viewer through a quick playthrough of Super Mario Bros., starting in World 1-1, using the Warp Zone in World 1-2 to warp to World 4, and using World 4-2's Warp Zone to warp to World 8 and complete the game.

The video also shows a variety of secrets such as the aforementioned Warp Zones in World 1-2 and 4-2, various hidden 1-Up locations, and the infinite 1-Up trick in World 3-1. Interestingly, the video contains a rare instance of Nintendo officially showcasing and endorsing the use of glitches in their games, featuring a segment all about various bugs present in the game.
