Message: [QUOTE="Ikagura, post: 148173, member: 6930"] The warp zones were made for subsequent playthrough in mind in Super Mario Bros. In fact, Super Mario Bros changed gaming in the way that differentiates from the usual, fixed screen, arcade game where barely anything changes from one level to another. They introduced secret levels (the warp pipes and the warp zones) and they introduced thematic levels from a world to another or the level type like athletic and water levels. When kids played the game on their Famicom (then on the NES) they discovered a world that seemed to have more life beyond the game screen, an actual kingdom with creatures instead of, just a mountain in Ice Climbers or a field in Balloon Fight with an actual blue sky instead of just having a void black background. Super Mario Bros ended up being one of the most replayable game of its era (followed by 64 for 3D games). Then I'd just watch a longplay on Youtube? I've tried the Stein;Gate VN but ended up watching the anime instead. I honestly love post-game modes and areas (like one route opening after finishing the game once). I see. Then I got too many kinetic ones and they're just glorified PDF with a nice background than a video game per se. [/QUOTE]
