Wasn't it normal at the time for a video game to have only 4 levels?

Shocked me, but I was only maybe 8 years old at the time.

It was kind of traumatizing as a kid. To work hard and get to what you thought was your goal, only to be told you wasted your time. Honestly I think that fucked up the rest of my life and made me hold back when I should have kept going.

Not really, once I got good enough (age 10) to play through World 1 castle, it felt like much more was to be played.
The line became an instant schoolyard meme.
Mushroom Retainer, whatever we were supposed to think wtf that mean was a silly name/title.

I don't remember having any expectations, but I knew the game would go beyond the first castle because of the "world 1-1/2/3/4" screens.

I thought it was just cheeky.

I don't recall anybody thinking it was shocking.

The best twist in the NES is when Samus removes her helmet.

Now that was some got damn bullshit. I remember finally making it to the end after playing that game for years as a kid then got hit with that message. Said fuck that shit and quit. I recently played it on the Switch SNES thing using save states. Decided to look up the mechanics after I beat it the first time since I had forgotten about it. Not only do you have to beat it a second time, you have to beat it while holding a particular item. Straight bullshit.

Donkey Kong did.
The Nes port had 3.
Some other ports only had 2.
