In this part, I do the usual "explain everything that comes up" thing that ends up being a lot and go through the first 2 stages.

Excuse the slight black bars and cutoff at points of the video. Strangely when you play this game on a 4:3 ratio TV, you will actually come across THREE different aspect ratios that aren't 16:9... on what looks like a widescreen game. Seriously. (I hate widescreen. Worst... invention... ever!)

Some screens like loading screens or the title screen are 4:3 (which I decided not to re-crop to get the banner 100% in because that would be a stupid reason to do so)
The gameplay itself ends up being about 15:9
and the world map ends up being like 17:9.
I have no idea why it does that, but it does and there is nothing I can do without cropping too much off the video. So, I'm leaving it. It doesn't effect anything.

9:36 lol @ "Y Button". It's "1 button". I have been playing a lot of SNES Mario games lately. So, I slipped up.
1:33 Ok, that was weird, right then and there I had a "GBA"Mario game mindsen instead of the prior SNES one. XD Oh well!
