    ^^I only ever got to World 8-3 on All-Stars Lost Levels, Wii version. Stupid sky stage filled with my mortal enemy, Hammer Bros. And if you hesitate, even a little, they charge after you. Then there's some hidden coin blocks precariously placed just so when you attempt to jump the Hammer Bro, you smack the invisible brick, slamming Mario down directly into their path.

    It doesn't matter. World 8-4 is nearly impossible, because even with save states I run out of time... :?

    Also as you claim to have a repro from gamer reproductions, does it have the level select code like the discontinued retroUSB version? In the RetroUSB cart, you press "B" on the title screen to select a world and "A" to select a stage. It's got 8 stars and all 13 Worlds including 9 and A-D are accessible immediately. The level select code adds so much replay value due to the extreme difficulty of some stages.

    The game reproductions cart doesn't have the level select feature oddly. I am maxed out at 16 stars on the virtual console and Famicom disk system versions. Would have been nice to add a battery feature for It. Also a tip. I'm not sure if you knew about this. When you approach a charging hammer bros. stay on the far left of the screen. The hammers won't harm you at all. Just be sure to hope they don't leap onto you as you try to stomp them. I noticed on the retro usb cart. It says "score" not Mario or Luigi above your point total.

    Console gaming. Nothing like relaxing on a big beanbag seat with a cold beer. Having numerous choices deciding which do I want to play. Especially my modded xbox. Have all the emulators and all the roms installed as well. I'm all set. Also more fun to team up with someone next to you duking it out and trash talking on multiplayer games.

    Are you playing on Wii or Wii-U?

     

    That game is balls hard. You get the benefit of savestates on Wii-U but you can transfer Wii saves with an SD card. I downloaded a savegame with 12 stars from Wiisave.com back in the day, but I think the website may be gone now.

     

    EDIT: Yup.https://gbatemp.net/threads/wiisave-com-gone-so-where-to-look.383425/

    If you're playing on Wii I commend your bravery and I think I have a save file I can give you with 12 stars on it. You need 8 stars to get World A-D. I just need to remember the 4-digit code for the game as there's a lot of junk on the SD card.

    For me personally, I just play my retroUSB SMB2j repro with level select hack built in...

    I remember for the repro cart from retrousb it gives you the 8 stars which is a huge bonus. I have it on virtual console, a repro cart from gamereproductions.com. Beyond world 4 the piranah plants are still green and not red, plus I have it for the Famicom Disk System. I remember it took me 5 days total to beat the game from World 1 to D-4. Back in '93 at age 12 on Mario All Stars. I remembered I was relieved.

    I bought and just received K.C. Munchkin for the 7800. Did a fantastic job on it. And I really enjoy It, plus holding pause while powering past the bios screen to play the '81 version is great. I have a few of your games as well. Thank you so much for bringing more life into the 7800. Such an underappreciated console and many thanks again. We could have used you in 1984 for these game releases and the 7800 would not have received all the hate And could have been the dominating console as well. :-) Love that little system.

    So I take it by your post, that it doesn't matter how I reach 8-4 for those eight playthroughs?

     

    Thanks, wanted to make sure that there wasn't a no warp requirement before wasting that time, since there is such a mandate for accessing World 9 (While you can World 9 the first time you play through the game, you must do so by going through all of the opening 32 levels, without the use of warp pipes).

     

    No problem. There is no warp requirement at all. Only required to access World 9.

    You ha

    Working my way through this and want to access Worlds A - D. Is it okay to use warps as I work towards beating 8-4, seven more times (You must reach the end 8 times in total, in order to access Worlds A-D)?

     

    Warps lock out World 9, so I of course avoided them this first play through, but would just assume speed things up in order to quickly reach the remainder of the game now, if the game doesn't disqualify subsequent playthroughs due to the use of a warp.

     

    Thanks

    You have to beat the game 8 times. Each time you complete World 8-4. You get a star. Once you get 8 stars you can access the A-D worlds by holding button 2 on the wiimote and pressing + on the controller.

    Hi need a favor for those that know Bob - can someone spell his name phonetically for me? I'm working on a video review for astro blaster and want to make sure I pronounce his name correctly. Thanks

    Bawb :-)

    Yeah, I've got all their VS games. VS Duck Hunt was worth it just so you can shoot the dog in the bonus rounds! :lol: I'm thinking about letting VS Castlevania go though, since it's exactly the same as the retail NES version, except each hit takes away one quarter or one half of your life bar depending on the DIP switch settings, instead of just a couple points. IMHO it makes the game totally unfair and not much fun compared to the retail version.

    Heck yes!! Always enjoy shooting the dog in the bonus round. :-D Agree on Castlevania. What I hate is the 170 seconds they give you on the first 3 areas of the game. You have no time to get any items. I have all of the vs. games for mame on the modded xbox I just enable some cheats for that.

    Holy crap! That's batshit insane! :o

    Is there some way we can tell that the sale was legit? Was feedback left?Yes, these sold once upon a time for $45 each at RetroUSB. I still have my copy, plus an official repro box which you can still buy for $20.

    If this game is really worth $2000, that's one helluva investment. Anybody want to buy mine?

    I bought Vs. Super Mario Bros and Vs. Duck Hunt a couple years ago from there. And now all the Vs. Games are discontinued!! I know for sure I'm hanging on to mine. Hardly much of anything for sale there as of now.
