Super Mario Bros. Is Surprisingly Hard to Beat With the Lowest Possible Score [Video]

YouTuber NotEntirelySure has beaten Super Mario Bros. with the lowest possible score without any cheats for assistance. Now even if you usually fail admirably at old school games, you can’t even feel good about that, because someone has turned it into an art and is better at it than you.

He previously completed a 600 point run where he accidentally stomped a goomba, but this one is the real deal despite one death on a missed wall jump. Yes, the original NES Mario had walljumps. You’re welcome, all of video gaming.
