Just curious because (gasp!) I never have.  Legitimate counts as without cheat codes/glitches, you can use warp pipes as much as you want.

No. The only version I've beaten of it is SMBDX, and this was probably because I had more time to play that. I only occasionally got to play the original.
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?

I got close to beating it on the DX version, but I got stuck on 8-1.

Yes, of course. Many times. With lives to spare. In multiple forms (meaning, SMBDX, SMAS, various [various here meaning three or four] forms of emulation, one of which includes the Virtual Console, and stuff.
EDIT: No way should warp zones count. Warping = fail.

What the flying crap monkeys? How bad are you people at games? You've never beaten SMB. What are you even doing on this forum? Holy cow, that's like one of the easiest NES games out there. I can beat SMB upside down with my eyes closed and no pants on. Come on! Practice, get some skills, something!

What a disgrace.

Yeah, I've beaten SMB before. Since I don't actually own SMBDX I haven't tried it. I don't really have much desire to do anything more.

What I am even doing on this forum:  I love the Mario games just as much as most of most of you.  It just so happens that 2-D platformers are not my strong point. :(

I've beaten SMB. But:
a) not on NES, hoho, NES is 7-8 years older than me.
b) with warps or with saving. No normal beating.

I find it rude that someone should question your love of Mario based on your skills in Super Mario Bros. Before anyone says "Oh, I was just kidding" or something along the lines, you could've fooled me, because all of the comments (save Bird Person) sound like you really believe that Kojinka sucks at video games, and/or is an untrue Mario fan.

I've beaten both the original NES version and the All Stars version.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

I've beaten 2 and 3, as well as most other mainstream Mario games that I've played.  SMB is the exception.  I think the farthest I've ever gotten was 8-2.  Does that make me any less of a Mario fan?

Some people need to get a life though.
