I could beat Mario 1, 2, and 3 without cheats and without warping when I was like 8 years old.

1 and 2 I beat fairly regularly. 3 had that weird bug where if you didn't hold down and b or something when you walked through the last door after beating Bowser the game would freeze, and I never bothered to figure out exactly what you had to do so I never saw the ending to three until YouTube.

I'm not sure what to think of these claims that trivialize the difficulty of Mario 2, especially with no warps. I never knew a single person growing up who had beaten it. It was long, unintuitive, and hard.
