@codl four Mario games that are all bad and ill received. Mostly the cd-i games. But instead of a rerelease, it's just a straight up emulation. And it's 100% accurate to the point of requiring a cd-i controller. And load times. Which are also emulated.

@Nine well now you got me thinking about which are the four worst mario games

super mario bros. special comes to mind

@codl oooo story time! *Sits down to hear about this one because they've never heard of it*

@Nine it's a port of super mario bros. to the PC-88, it runs and plays very poorly

like it slows down and speeds up depending on how many enemies are on screen, not ideal for platforming

the hardware isn't good enough to scroll the screen, it just flips to the next screen when you reach the right edge, which means a lot of blind jumps

also levels are different and weird and for some reason they added in a bunch of enemies and items from donkey kong and mario bros (the arcade game)

@Nine if you've ever heard of the DOS version of mega man, this is kinda the same level of wrongness

@codl and yes I have even played the DOS Megaman games so I know of their awful awfulness. Lol. They're magnificent in their awful bootleggy-ness

@Nine @codl I had the dos megaman growing up and didn't know any others existed, it made me very confused when people talked about how they liked megaman.
