One thing I never figured out in this game is how to maximize your score.  I always was just trying to get to the end in one piece.  This time I went through all the worlds, but I guess I missed a bunch of coins and hidden coin rooms.  Maybe if I kicked more shells to get those incremental bonuses?  Ah, who knows?

870,950

burned my last few lives for a few extra points, then died before reaching Bowser, King of the Koopa.

in addition to the rules listed above, I also avoid collecting the same 1up mushroom more than once.

 

Through the test of time, Super Mario Bros has emerged as my most favorite Super Mario Bros game.  The other ones eventually get tiresome.  (not counting Mario Kart games)

 

I've been trying to reach a million points in this game for over 30 frikkin' years!  One of these days...

scored 970k a few years back

something's gotta give...
