Cute gobbo, love the nose.
I always thought the first mario game was the best.
I managed to get the game to work on linux with steam's proton and PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command%
>sprinting jump and hitting my head on moving platforms going down bounced me into pit
I lost all my lives in 1-3 twice.
I could never get end level flags
I had multiple moments in 1-3 where I felt having the hat made it worse for me, because I kept bumbing my head and falling down.
It is not clear where checkpoints are when you get them.
I have not beaten it yet, but I will at some point. I will leave the rest for the stream
Edit:
Ok, I finished it. It took me multiple attempts. I had runs with 5 and 6 lives left in 1-4 and I would lose them all.
The ending made me chuckle, but I was hoping for something else ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
It took me a while to realize holding jump also effects jump height. It is not something I am used to and I don't remember if og mario did that.
I did not like how even after getting the fireball staff touching fireball rods would still make me lose the whole hat instead of just losing the ability to shoot.
there is a big difficulty spike at 1-4, but I think that is not the worst given how short the game is and that is the last level.
