I prefer 4cr's Mitch's controller. The only buttons are down and spinach.

"Okay, I'm running... Oh, crap! The Super Mushroom ran the other way! Oh, well. I guess I didn't really need it..."

"Yay, I got the Fire Flower... but no way to fire it..."

"I think there's a secret in this pipe... But I can't go down it..."

[BPM proceeds to throwing the controller into his TV, thus breaking it]

@#%^ this *@^*! Imma gonna go play Metroid Prime 3 again.

I call your bluff, you can't get the fire flower with only forward and jump.

BPM @ Sep 13th 2007 3:14AM

Damn! Exposed!

Um... look over there! A conveniently placed distraction!

[BPM disappears into the night!]

How about just pop in a movie and simply push 'play'? I mean unless you actually want to play a game.

They forgot a win button there...

I guess the GO button would have to be mapped to right+B? Otherwise you couldn't run and therefore it'd be impossible to make some of the jumps to beat SMB.
