(dont worry, this world is nearly over with, and these obtuse and obscure references can stop)
For extra funsies, hows about playing the thing WITHOUT the parts that ostensibly make it Super and not just Game Boy?
To get down to just the pixels and utterly defeat any purpose to playing it like this at all, try here:

While Im being up-front about my failings... apparently I managed to get the capture a bit off in the audio department. Specifically the timing.
Alas, my ages-old foe. All the way back to my FIRST upload series of the NES Castlevania to more recent adventures with Advance Wars Re-Boot-Camp (and the original Advance Wars!)... I will always find a way to incur the wrath of this technical devil.
As with the more recent incidence, its not EXTREMELY notable per se... but it DOES get progressively worse and distracting over time.
This game is mercifully slow-paced and contemplative as it is, so the effect is... I want to say relatively minimal. I still want to acknowledge and non-apologize for not scrapping the whole project immediately over it.
Big City
I dont really feel the need to dig deep into these stages at the moment, because theyre pretty strongly coded with the good ol design sense of ye olde Nintendo, much as the opening formation of World 1-1 essentially teaches you 90% of what it takes to play Super Mario Bros.
In that spirit, the more imminently important bits of information are the carefully strung-along constant influx of new game mechanics that will gradually begin to interact and coalesce into a richer tapestry of true full-on puzzle platformer complexity.
To wit: we are introduced to... um... THESE... thingies! Little powerup icons in the form of double-headed horizontal and vertical lines. Not line segments or even rays, but honest-to-goodness LINES! ... ... ...no one?
Like the geometric LINES they truly are, they represent an infinitely-expansive linear asset: platforms for the horizontal and ladders for the vertical. You can use these to navigate entirely new bespoke paths through the stage! ...but only for a limited time!
When the increasingly urgent-sounding jingle ends and the effect is dispelled, its important to note that there are some unspoken caveats to this process:
You can reset the effects timer by picking up another of these linear aids.
Platforms and ladders will dissolve in real time when their effect ends, starting from the point of origin and expanding outward from there. (In the same, but opposite, fashion as they were generated, in fact!)
All of these icons will regenerate when the effect ends. This allows you to try again and again, in case you messed up somewhere along the way during the process of using them. Puzzle!
You may have noticed that THIS rendition of Mario is quite the one-hit wonder. No, not his acrobatics, I mean in his durability! Nearly anything hostile or hazardous in the environment will terminate the poor plumber and/or carpenter in a single hit!
The curious exception is when hes carrying something (most frequently the stages exit key), which will most often simply bowl him over temporarily and cause him to drop what he was holding. (Beware, anything once he and his load are parted may once more prove imminently fatal!)
The most ever-present of these hazards is humble gravity. Something the demos of the late-breaking Part 0 of this series shows off, elegantly or otherwise, is the fact that a fall from excessive heights will cause him to collapse into a comically helpless heap on the floor. This flexes your survival rate from such things to about twice as far a fall as the original arcade Jumpman would find crushingly fatal.
There are limits, however, and falling from TOO great a height will cause him to fall on his head and expire in somewhat less comical slapstick. I mean... it was always there in the way Jumpman expressed the end of his short life in the arcade, were just playing up the angle faithfully.
You can tell when this is happening, because Marios apparently floaty descent will be accompanied by animation of him losing control of his descent and finding his poor noggin in extreme peril. Perhaps even time enough for the five stages of grief before impact?
You can actually turn certain less extreme cases of the non-fatal form of harmful fall into a chance for Mario to demonstrate his acrobatic tumbling skills (not seen in the demos!) by tucking and rolling to preserve his ambulatory agency, instead of said aforementioned crumpled heap state... but it definitely wont save you if youre well on your way to landing on your head. (Try not to do that!)
Every four stages culminates in a showdown with DK. The finale of each themed world is generally an actual battle to bonk the simian with handy local fixtures!")

BONUS! The two Intermissions, wherein I got interrupted about an hour in by important-ish stuffs got recombined into one difficult-to-swallow, but far more powerful dose! Arent you glad?!
This is a little experimental format change JUST for the fact that the game crawls to a complete stop outside of the JRPG antics the series is known for... THAT way I can spend my REAL time throwing saucy tea party puppet shows during appropriate moments and story content!
...in theory, anyway!
Fancy way of saying that Im just un-skipping the sidequests that I was otherwise rushing past when we were on and the hour was fast becoming late and I wanted to end stream on a high and bombastic ILL KILL YOU! note. (Thanks, Shoolk!)
But make sure you seize it some OTHER day, just to be sane and well-paced?
If you NEED the goober-y chatter, theres that versions as well, in their original, separated format:

...wait, did I just invent a brand of personal hygiene products?
Oh, its just a couple more levels, thats fine. In FACT, I can just try some Ranked along the way, maybe Ill reach promotion threshold without much more difficulty than that!
... ... ...why must we always repeat the lies we have already told ourselves and been crushed by?
Obviously, the very LAST day of the season, when the next seasons major stage design layout overhauls have already gone into effect, is NOT the right time to try to make a big rankings push. But as with every season prior, I will always prioritize literally anything but, even with a fresh new calendar on which to seize the day.
Forget all that, kid. Go get some of those golden eggs. Synergize some paradigms that do NOT revolve around sweaty, fashion-obsessed youth culture. What do you say, fellow the youth?
Im going to TRY to be more consistent going forward with a) stream archives (which I have over a hundred of, easily), but also b) actual uniquely not-streamed content (which laughs heartily at how little the stream archive backlog has to its name)
...but... um... well see? (I sure hope we will, anyway... this habit of generally NOT-seeing has had me massively bummed out for longer than YouTube can actually remember.)")

(SORRY the thing was unsalvageable last stream for the non-chatterbox action, but OBS decided to eat itself during the capture process, I guess...)

Is trying to crush audio problems with tests that take hours to manifest regardless...
Unfortunately, the thing I tried didnt actually fix the audio issues as hoped... BUT... knowing how to quit around the time theyd start getting severe? ... ... ...why does my computer want me to be healthy and STOP streaming after X number of excessive hours consecutively, huh?
(I also made headway into getting Jeff to stop ruining things for the YouTube audience instead, but Im not entirely sure without any real evidence to establish whatd happen otherwise...)

Decided to take it easy and not kill myself just because the world is ending 5/7ths of the time from here on out. Please understand.
... ... ...wait, i streamed for HOW long with WHAT spices?! ... ... ...maybe shoolk wouldve been way less strenuous for final stream (before drastically reduced frequency) energy after all...

Nothing is definitely ever my fault. Except for where golden things are concerned.
Funny, I dont think this has anything to do with weird fanservice art trends?!
To dismiss the golden week aspect, you can always just watch me be bad at game here instead:
