SHOW NOTES
- According to Price Charting, Super Mario Bros. 2 retains its value fairly well! The loose cart price is $20, and the box and manual bumps the price up to $37. New-condition copies go for $293. Super Mario Advance ranges from $9.50 to $41.50, since it’s much newer.

- The full Minibosses Super Mario Bros. 2 medley can be found here on YouTube.

- Chris Kohler of Wired has a good long read from 2011 on the secret history of the game.
