Wow, this game is great. It took me the longest time to figure out that there was actually a game after the intro... but there is, and it's awesome! If you're having trouble getting past the start, here's a hint: pay close attention to the lyrics of the Earth Anthem. There's a pretty obvious clue in there.

In the original Super Mario bros 1, they send a walking Goomba at you in the first screen- The Goomba sends you a message: "Jump now!--or die." And thus began the great use of the 'A' button with the right hand of your controller. Better Tutorial. I much prefer this method over being held in a holding cell on my computer.

I died quickly the first two times I played, but on the 3rd attempt I got the hang of it. Definitely going to forward this to all my friends. The intro is a little long, even with the fast-forward hotkey. Kinda annoying.
