It's incredible that over 30 years on from release people are not only still playing the original Super Mario Bros, but uncovering new glitches and secrets that add to the game's legendary longevity. It's only back in 2014 that one YouTube found a never-seen-before way to give Mario infinite lives, which has since been confirmed by other players. How to unlock it: Start a two-player game, then get Mario killed on the second level (1-2). As Luigi, get all the way over to World 5-2, find the hidden beanstalk, then start climbing it while it's still growing and get Luigi killed by the hammers. As Mario, you'll spawn back in World 1-2, but the vine Luigi climbed will mysteriously sprout out of the ground. Use the vine to infinitely bounce the beetle shells and gain endless lives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSL3og5--uE
