Super Mario All-Stars - Super Mario Bros. 2 No-Death Playthrough (Actual SNES Capture)

This is a capture of me playing through all of Super Mario Bros. 2 without using any Warp Zones via Super Mario All-Stars on the SNES. This is not an emulator and was not played on the Wii or the Switch. This footage was captured directly from my SNES using an actual Super Mario All-Stars cartridge.

Here’s some more footage of Super Mario All-Stars, which I received as a gift for Christmas of 2021. This time I’m completing Super Mario Bros. 2 without dying.

I grew up playing Super Mario Bros. 2 on the NES in the late ’80s, and I am a huge fan of the game. It’s one of my earliest memories of the NES, and I specifically recall playing the game with my mother. Though I prefer the original NES version in all its glory, the Super Mario All-Stars version is a neat update. The graphics (especially the backgrounds) are far more detailed, the music is more complex, and there’s a handy save feature.

I have already posted playthroughs of the original NES version of Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Advance, so I tweaked this playthrough a bit. This time I favored Luigi more than the Princess and I used the handy shortcut on level 3-3. However, I once again collected all of the mushrooms except for on the final level because you have to backtrack to get both mushrooms on that stage. Enjoy the footage.

Recorded with the Hauppauge HD PVR and the official SNES S-video cable at 60 frames per second. I used a Toshiba model D-R550 DVD Recorder to upconvert the SNES's native 240p signal to 480i so that the Hauppauge could capture the console's audio/video signal.

I'm using a standard SNES controller.
