Author Topic: Is the Super Mario Bros. Deluxe cartridge's memory faulty? (Read 9870 times)

I was playing Super Mario Bros. Deluxe and I was on level 8-4 of Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels/Super Mario Bros. for Super Players. I wanted to take a break so I turn it off. When I turned it back on the memory was completely blank. Is this just my game or is it just a problem in the game? It also happened at such a bad time.

Did you ever save your game?
I guess you had to. The battery could have gone bad. The cartridge might just be dirty though.

I think carts designed for GBC may all have been a little faulty. My copies of Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons, AS WELL AS Link's Awakening DX have stopped working altogether. I got R-type DX used, so I don't know when that will act up. (or if.)

I know from years of experience at work that all Pokemon games for GB and GBC have a horribly high rate of battery failure.

Something simalar happened in Super Mario All Stars:The data on the game has probably deleted itself about 10 times. Now the A button won't respond and whenever I press B it holds it down, making Peach a lot harder to use.

It happens to my cart every time I save and then turn it off. If I want to complete the game, I have to do it all in one sitting.

I like how SMBDX is a more accurate port with a dead battery.

My original copy of Link's Awakening displays only the opening cutscene, title screen, and... animated sprites. I think I mentioned that before...

This is related to the games not working disscusion:
I own a Famicom and the Disk System and it will not play Doki Doki Panic. It works about every 200th attempt. I keep getting a Disk Error. I think it's number 27.

I think your floppy disk is 20 years old, and 20-year-old floppy disks are known to fail, unfortunately.

Super Mario All-Stars has had problems with me too, notably deleting every non-B file every few months (why does it keep file B?); both of my copies of DX seem to work fine, though. (I'd be mad if I lost my neraly 2,000,000-point challenge mode score!)

My All Stars cartridge, when it still worked, occasionally erased the memory on its own. My SMBDX has never wiped its own memory, so I don't know what to tell you.

Super Mario All-Stars, especially the Super Mario Bros. 3 bank is particularity prone to self-deletion even on the Super Mario World version and for some reason also, the A and B controller scheme corrupts itself so that when you set it to scheme Type A, it sets itself to B during game play causing lots of deaths. The only way to fix the controller issue is to set it to Type A and move to different games and open and close their menus. What a monumentally dumb glitch.

Maybe you just aren't a super player.
