    @mediamogul Not quite at a no Konami code run yet. The only game I can do a no-death run of is Mario 1.

      Nice! It's a tough game. World eight alone is no walk through the mushrooms.

        @mediamogul World 8 of Mario 1 has killed so many runs for me. I can usually beat the game in about 10min, providing I don't have bad luck on World 8.

            Ok, you know the drill, reply if you completed the challenge. Also, if you did, suggest a game for April.

            @mediamogul @obsidianspider I think you two beat the game with the whistles if i'm not mistaken.

              @lilbud I played it through with the two warp whistle trick, but I have zero proof as I don't use RetroAchievements, so if you want to let the April game of the month go to someone else, that's fine.

              I started playing through going for a completion but didn't get past world 5 in that sitting.

                @obsidianspider Just pick a game, all picks will go into a poll and whichever wins will be it.

                      @lilbud Sure, I'm playing it right now on a Pi 3

                      WonderSwan is an optional system to set up.

                        I was going to suggest 'Little Sampson', as it seemed to dovetail nicely from SMB3. However, I wonder if everyone isn't burnt out on platformers, no matter how good they are. In that light, I'm going to suggest 'Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!'. The challenge would be to aim for 'Gutted Like a Fish', but if no one achieved it, the player with the most cheevos at the end of the month would choose the next game, with ties suggesting as usual.

                            I have a pretty big physical GBA collection and I actually own that. It's a great spiritual successor and I love being able to play it on the go, but to me, nothing beats the NES classic.

                              So we got Makaimura from @obsidianspider

                              and we got Mike Tyson from @mediamogul

                              I'm throwing in Earthbound

                              And now we got Vectorman from @meleu

                              Anyone else want to throw their hat in the ring?

                                    Is there still time to suggest another game?

                                    I would like to suggest Vectorman and the challenge woud be Rage Against the TVs.
