The First Five Seconds Of Super Mario Bros.

What deep insight can you glean from a classic video game within the first five seconds of pressing start?

Not much, as it turns out. So I went ahead and recorded another video for Super Mario Bros., upping the limit to 300 seconds instead of five. Man, what a difference.

I know you’ve likely seen the first five minutes of Super Mario Bros. before, but have you seen it while I talk about the Japanese woman who sold me dirty magazines when I was twelve or the girl’s high school party where we stole something like $300 in dollar coins out of the slot machine her parents had in the basement? Really? Man, I talk too much.

Normally here I would post an official store description.

Right then.

The First Five is the first five minutes of a game with light commentary. Once the five minutes are up, so are we.
