Game Introduction

This is a unique bootleg. It can be instantly recognised by the modified screen layouts. Some of the ladders on the first screen are in different positions and rise much higher than usual. They can be used to ascend two or three beams at a time, which actually makes the game more difficult.

Cheats, Tricks, Bugs, and Easter Eggs

The well-known trick of jumping off the screen works on this bootleg. Climb up the first ladder, move about two pixels to the left and then jump right. Mario will fall off the bottom of the screen and you will be taken to the fourth screen.
