These are all frame-perfect inputs that allow Mario to reach running speed quicker and must be started on the first frame possible, with no cue as to when that first level frame is coming. Niftski had to hit left on the first frame of the level, then jump and hit right on the third frame, and release jump on the fourth frame.

"While the condition of the game is remarkable, what makes this copy even more singular is the layout of the packaging itself: Exceedingly rare are sealed copies with the word "Bros." formatted to the left, covering one of Mario's signature white gloves," A press release from Heritage Auctions stated. 3 began at $62,000 USD, and 20 bidders fought for the chance to purchase it and, in doing so, also made this the world's first-ever million-dollar video-game auction. The bidding for this rare copy of Super Mario Bros. from earlier this year that sold for $114,000 USD. 3 for $156,000 and surpassed the sale of NES' Super Mario Bros.

On November 20, Heritage Auctions sold a sealed copy of 1990's Super Mario Bros.
