Hmmmm, -3 looks a lot like 4-4 with the underground block set... Interesting.

Very interesting, though I think his technical details are flat out wrong.  FDS SMB just has the data in the ROM in different locations, so the pointers for minus world end up in different levels.  If it hadn't been chance that resulted in regular SMB having an underwater level as minus world, there would have been more levels just like with FDS SMB.  This wasn't intentional, just chance of where the pointers ended up in the ROM.  If beating -3 lets you choose your level, that's another chance thing, problably due to the comparison routine used to determine whether you're allowed to select your level after beating the game twice normally.  i.e. IT WAS ALL CHANCE, NOT SOMETHING PLANNED FOR BY NINTENDO as the author of that page states.  The fact that glitchy versions of levels already in the game were used proves this.  Chance again allowed the levels to be fully playable, unlike many of the levels obtained when using Game Genie codes.  If Nintendo did actually know about the bug, it's possible that they made sure the pointer at least went to playable levels instead of fixing the actual bug (which may have required extensive rewriting of the game engine).

Heh, in the upcoming SMB release for GBA, they stuck the Minus World back in.

They never took it out, doofus.
That's just a copy of the original SMB ROM.

Saying "doofus" made me laugh out loud, but only because "doofus is a funny word.  BTW, is "lol" pronounced like "lull", or do you say the letters, like "El Oh El"?

Well even if you were to pronounce it as a word, it'd be pronounced "lahl" because an O following a consonant makes the "AH" noise.

The guy at that website doesn't know the difference between a World/Level and a Stage. For shame.

There was actually a point in time for me when I didn't laugh at all, I just said "LOL". It was weird....

It's "el-oh-el", trust me. But that Minus World thing is awesome, I wonder how it changed from the Japanese to American version... (If it said it in the article, please don't be a jerk about it because due to limited time I couldn't really read it)
