Objectively, not a well-designed game. However, I grew up playing it a lot with the SMB Deluxe port of worlds 1-8 and the All-Stars version, both of which had a more forgiving continue system and allowed me to master the levels.

These days it's more fun for me to revisit than the original, as the SMB1/2j physics feel pretty satisfying when you have command of them, and these levels still give me a fair bit of challenge compared to SMB1's.
