Hi all!

Edit: It works. There were just some bug in the Matrix or I was just... not pressing those buttons the right way, I don't know.

So, I knew about the "cheat code" for Super Mario Bros. to continue from the world where you died last time. (Hold A on the title screen and START)

The thing is, it doesn't seem to work playing the game through Nintendo Switch Online Nintendo Entertainment System.

If I lose all my extra lifes and die, back on the title screen holding A and pressing start still drops me back to 1-1.

What am I missing? Is it really not working in this version of the game, or I'm the one who can't press 2 buttons?

I'm playing it on the Switch 2 and using an 8bitdo wireless Pro controller (as a wired Pro controller) if it matters...

Thanks!

No idea about the cheat code.

One thing you can do is use save states to save your game and then load that when needed.

The way I did was to only make a save when each level started, to give me unlimited continues, but still get the experience of playing the original game. I would also set a threshold of allowing 2-3 deaths (depending on how many lives I have left) before loading the save.

I did cheated on this a couple of times when I got stuck, but that's a separate topic.
