I have beat the original, though I never did beat it until after Mario All*stars came out (long after, as in 3 to 4 years, I think). I saw other people beat it, though. Does that count?

I have finished it with no warps, then with warps, then in multiple forms (small Mario, big Mario, fire Mario, Luigi..), and in multiple fashions (Nes, Super Nes, GBC, Gamecube, Wii).

.. and to keep up with the topic (or rather, the off topic): my screen name usually derives from what I am, or who my favorite character is (I am known as SuperMarioFan at GameFAQs, and Toad here, the only two forums that I visit).
Kinopio is the ultimate video game character! Who else can drive a kart, host parties, play tennis, give good advice and items, and is almost always happy??

It's amazing how fast topics can derail, but I'm not complaining.

I love my screen name.  I came up with it when I needed a name for playing Warioware because my actual name is longer than 5 characters.  So I typed "Fwirt" and I liked it.  Plus, most people eventually ask me what it means, to which I reply, "Nothing."  Vidgmchtr thinks it sounds like a beverage. :P

Always start your day with a tall glass of refreshing Diet Fwirt!

I like Fwirt with Grenadine. That's the tasty way of having Cherry Fwirt.

I voted before I realized that I had beat the All-Stars version, but I did beat an emulated version on my GBA.

Well, I did get a Game Over, does it still count as legimate?

I sadly have yet to beat the original Super Mario Bros. I'll keep trying, though. I believe the farthest I've ever gotten was World 7-3, without any warp pipes (which is how I would like to beat the game.) I have, however, beaten New Super Mario Bros.

I love New Super Mario Bros, don't get me wrong, but the ability to save (along with the fact you can get 5 lives in about 20 seconds each time you enter World 1-1) made it too easy.

I tried beating Super Mario Brothers a while back and lost on world 8-2, though I do remember beating it before.

Being able to save made it easy? You think you should have been forced to play it all the way through in one sitting? Remember that it is a DS game.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

If you keep doing World 1-1 over again, it is very easy to go through the game in one setting. That is, if you don't get tired.

I'd get tired of doing 1-1 over again. Besides, that wouldn't be enough time to actually complete the game (open all routes and spend all Star Coins).

Hang on... how does going through 1-1 over and over make the game any easier? Lives? When Deezer sees that, he'll be loooloololllllloloolollllooooloolllollolllllololoooolooooing all over the place!!
Lives have no meaning anymore... You get a 1-Up and then what, throw it in the pile with the other 36...
All your dreeeeeeams begiiin to shatterrrrrr~
It's YOUR problem!

Okay, here's the trick so that you guys don't laugh anymore.

Go through the stage and hit the block with the Mega Mushroom. Let it run all the way to the edge, and right when it's about to fall, grab it and crash through the corse. You will get 5 lives if you move fast enough. Trust me, this is how I've gotten 99 lives easy.

EDIT: Whoops. Never mind, I guess you guys weren't laughing at the trick, rather you were laughing at the fact that it is easy to win lives in the game normally.   :P

Well, there's the trick for those who wanna use it anyway.
