Mario Has Been Hiding A Super Awesome Cheat For Nearly Thirty Years

Gamers the world over are aware of the ‘Konami Code‘ cheat. However, a mind blowingly useful code for one of the highest selling games of all time, Super Mario Bros. has JUST been discovered.

Give this a try the next time you plug in the ol’ NES and blow into the Super Mario cartridge (as we all did) before firing it up. Rather than trying to squish those Goombas, let one of them kill you and then quickly hit A+start. Rather than starting all the way from the beginning, you’ll be instantly transported back to the spot you died.

Let that soak in for a second. At least until you can feel the 11 year old version of yourself completely lose it.
