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.

Using joy-cons, it works for me. Are you sure you're holding A? That is, whatever is mapped to NES A on your controller (the "jump" button).

Edit : also, if I remember correctly that only brings you to the beginning of the world, not specific level. So if you were on 1-4, you're still going to 1-1.

I haven't checked with the Joy Cons, but will do later the day, thanks for the input.

Even if that brings you back to the beginning of the world, it's still a big help :)

I just tried with my 8bitdo (not a pro controller though, SN30 pro). Game over on 3-2, A+start brings me to 3-1.

I went to check it and... believe it or not, but it works now. With Joy Cons and with the 8bitdo controller as well. So I have no idea what did went wrong this morning. I was doing it multiple times, from world 3 and 4 and nothing. Weird!

Thanks!

Heh, no worries. It happens. Don't know how many times I couldn't get anything to work, and then when I try to show it to someone it would auto-magically work properly.

Can you update your post add that it's fixed. Would let others know that it's resolved.
