GameTrailers took on, Mythbusters style, the legend that Mario can leap the flagpole in Super Mario Bros on the NES. And, whaddaya know, they indeed proved it true. World 3-3 is where you have the best chance of doing it yourself.Now, GameTrailers, next for you: Turning Smurfette naked in Smurf: Rescue in Gargamel’s Castle on ColecoVision.

This is a pretty awesome idea of a segment. Interested to see what else they do. Perhaps they could try to bring Aeris back from the dead?

Oh and Aeris res is a myth =P I tried just about everything years ago and besides hacking via a GameShark Aeris never comes back… a shame really coz her support Limit Breaks were the best Limits in the game =(

Tuesday, June 1, 2010 at 8:33 PMYeah, I rode that rollercoaster so much to try to collect 1/35 Soldiers for some bizarre rumour that Cloud kept vomiting when he got off.
Still, that is the kind of thing this segment could use really well, regardless.
