Lockdown 2020: The Jeff Gerstmann Home Game: That Stupid Special Mario Game Part 2

Would love to see you play some Punch Ball Mario Bros., too :D (I think i'ts both PC88 and Sharp X1?)

....yyyyYYYEEESSSSSss

I think Super Mario Bros. Special™ has defeated Jeff. God help us all.

oh yes, the slow music and fast clock, I love this thing.

Is it weird that I kind of dig the weird off pitch version of the underwater music?

Good god, Jeff. Why are you subjecting yourself to this game still?

This has become Jeff's Breaking Brad.

The thing about this game is it sucks

Love the random hit detection on the large spinning fire in 5-4.

Was Fatal Fury Special like this? I have good memories there but now I'm afraid to look.

My favorite part is that the slowed down music nearly has a cool jam feel, except that it's all monsterous.

I can't believe you started from the start again Jeff. This is beautiful madness.

"You're... gonna... finish it!"

F

omg YES!

I'm so happy this made a return.

I hope next time he makes it to world 6 :D

The YouTube sensation angry old gamer is at it again!

This was developed by Hudson? That makes too much sense.

I love how every death turns into an argument with the game :D

Bless you Jeff and Bless everyone at Giantbomb for your efforts atm.

Can't comment on every video (i mean, i could?) but I appreciate the efforts :-)

I cannot help but burst out in laughter as soon as the first few notes of the Mario song start playing. In that first second, you just immediately know something is horribly wrong with this game.

Is this the run?

this is great ..more more! jeff makes mario 2?

Super Mario?
Evidently. Note the clumsy, awkward movement and slurred, sluggish music.

(Super is Swedish for drinking, as in alcohol, as in large volumes.)
(It's a funny joke.)

Jeff needs to go by DJeff. Plays the yams.

At the end Jeff jokes he had to play this. As the comments/forums demonstrate, in any large community there are always as many people who enjoy a thing as don't, so I just say this for me - I hope to not see this for a third time.

The greatest player that wait Wait WAIT!

hehehe i like jokes .

What if Super Mario Bros. was complete shit?

Hell yeah! Somebody's gotta learn that bee for goofing up Mario.

I hope you come back to this. I find it very fascinating to see more of. Great video

That weird tunnel in the pipe section of 3-3 was bugging me, so I looked into it. It seems that there is a 1-up in a hidden block that goes across the top of the screen and winds its way down to you eventually.

I was hoping it was a path to a better game :(

The first time he triggered the Korn vocal clip just about killed me.

I'm pretty sure to glitch past a firebar, you have to be going fast enough in the opposite direction that the game never calculates you touching it.

Can we just have 14 days of Jar Time and Home Games?

@eccentrix: exactly this. it's just like the firebar hiding trick in SMB (standard edition), except way easier to accidentally pull off here because even the big firebar only has like....16 frames per revolution.

I love how the crew always passive-aggressively bash on Twitch streamers, which they now basically are. In another universe Jeff is one of the biggest names on Twitch.

Hell yeah Achievement hunting for the worst game possible.

I watched this stoned and it was utterly mesmerizing. What a steaming pile of garbage that is also fascinating to behold.

Jeff can play this forever.

God bless this brave man for sacrificing his sanity to entertain us all during these tough times.

There are no speed runs of the pc88 version on speedrun.com. This is your opportunity Jeff!.

Thanks for doin this Jeff, Super Mario Bros. streams are among my fav on the site. This game is a nightmare.

Finally. An explanation for this.

Thank you to Jeff for enduring more suffering in this time of suffering. It'd be neat ("neat") to see someone go through the NES romhack adaptation (besides Run Button, of course).

Watching Jeff play this makes me unreasonably happy

Same here, I'm laughing so hard I can barely breathe .

I really enjoy watching Jeff suffer bad games, but I also think Jeff enjoys making us watch these horrible games.

Jeff Gerstmann is truly still a threat.

It's great to watch someone get genuinely angry at a game without hamming it up, I would be pretty much the same if I played this shit. +1 to going all the way with it.

is jeff a masochist. this is Earrape: the game

The Super Mario theme sounds like it was remixed by DJ Screw, Chopped and Screwed

I wonder if there’s a single person in the world who played this but never the NES SMB. What do they think of video games?
