Super Mario World Marriage Proposal

Its a bit of a slow news day (or I've already touched on the worthwhile news stories), so I thought I'd revisit my most beloved medium with a post from our good friends at Kotaku!



So aside from the obvious questions of "what if she said no?" or "how big a chicken will Nintendo's legal team shit over such a blatant ROM hack?" I would like to ask a more basic gaming question. Simply put, what if his girl was actually a real skilled gamer and actually collected the coins?

Collecting coins in a Mario game is second nature to most gamers. It's like popping tick-tacks. You don't think about it, muse over it, or contemplate an intricate strategy for it, you just do it. That girl was way too hesitant to collect those coins.

And think of the 1-up potential lost? The stuff you can do on one life in SMW is rather extensive if you play your cards right. It must have been hampering to her strategy to have to hold off collecting those things just for one message from her boyfriend.

Still, its nice to see people using Rom hacks for good, instead of "Super Fart Brothers 3: Flatulance in Fartland."
