Fair enough.
Nintendo doesn't write code, people do; we can't say for sure this wasn't intentional. We don't know whether a developer left a trail of backdoors as a protest against Nintendo's well-known policy of tight editorial control of game developers, for example.
However, given the existence of this editorial policy, it's reasonable that they did not intend to include these backdoors in Super Mario World. Perhaps they didn't claw back this title because these backdoors were not known until recently.
- Wowfunhappy 8y ago> Nintendo doesn't write code, people do This is fair, too. However, if you read about how these particular glitches worked, I find it extremely hard to believe that they would be implemented on purpose. They're a consequence of a series of run-of-the-mill memory errors across the game's code. There would have needed to be a group of developers conspiring to make this possible... and for what? So a very dedicated player can spend hours painstakingly inputting a flappy bird game that will be lost when the system is turned off?
