This soundtrack defined pretty much every stage of my childhood. I mean my music taste would not be what it is today without this game, so I have to give it points for that.

It's like they got Beethoven on the soundtrack, Michelangelo on the art design, and then they realized they needed a game to go with it so they got a homeless man off the street to do the level design.

I don't know why, but dying in a 2D Mario game is 10,000 times more frustrating than in literally anything else.

Every time you down three rum and cokes in a row, a disembodied sheep voice will tell you a fun fact about cocktails.
