Amazing Secrets About Mario You Probably Didn’t Know

Negative Warp Zones (Super Mario Bros. 2/Lost Levels)

I had a Korean friend who was so thorough  at looking for secrets in every game; he spent almost every waking moment looking for power-ups or some secret that no one else found. So I figured that Super Mario Bros 2/ lost levels were made for someone like him. One of the secrets was the negative warp zone, of course no one knew about it since Wikipedia or YouTube wasn’t invented then and we had to rely on our gut instincts. In level 3-1, you’ll come by a trampoline and with a perfectly executed jump-it will get players right over the exit. Once there they will find a classic Mario warp pipe, only with the number “1” over it. Now the players will start right at the beginning of the level.
