SMB - 256W (World 40 / World -)

 In Super Mario Bros, there are eight naturally accessible worlds, and to most people, they believe that's all the game has to offer for worlds. That isn't the case however, as there are actually two hundred and fifty six worlds! There's World 0, World X, World ®, etc. Some of them even consists of more or less than four levels, despite the norm being four levels per world. 

Today, I want to talk about World 40, or in other terms,  "World -". Using the Galoob Game Genie, insert the codes NNXAZZYE and AANAAXZG so at the start of the screen, you'll be able to select all the of available worlds. Keep pressing "A" until 1-1 turns to --1 then press the start button on your controller. 

The levels --1, --2, and --3 are duplicates of 3-3. The difference between the real level 3-3 and these copies is that some of the platforms are glitched. Meaning if you tried to land on some of them, you'll go past through them and die. Since this obstacle is an issue, you'll have to make further jumps to go around the situation. 

Next, the levels --4, --5, --6, --7, and --8 are all duplicates of 8-3. Yep, you heard me right: You have to dodge the same Bullet Bills, Parakoopas, Piranha Plants, and Hammer Bros FIVE TIMES in a row! If you're able to complete all of that, you'll soon make it to --9 which is an underwater level. 

Since this is a underwater level in a glitched world, if you try to go through the pipes to make it to the ending part of the level, it just takes you back to the start of the level. You can't bypass this level unless if you look for more Game Genie codes to skip entire levels. 

Anyways, that's all I have to say about the Minus Minus World. I hope this addition to my blog was interesting to anyone who's a fan of glitches, coding, or Super Mario Bros as a whole. I will make my next blog public soon.
