Hi all!

Edit: It works. There were just some bug in the Matrix or I was just... not pressing those buttons the right way, I don't know.

So, I knew about the "cheat code" for Super Mario Bros. to continue from the world where you died last time. (Hold A on the title screen and START)

The thing is, it doesn't seem to work playing the game through Nintendo Switch Online Nintendo Entertainment System.

If I lose all my extra lifes and die, back on the title screen holding A and pressing start still drops me back to 1-1.

What am I missing? Is it really not working in this version of the game, or I'm the one who can't press 2 buttons?

I'm playing it on the Switch 2 and using an 8bitdo wireless Pro controller (as a wired Pro controller) if it matters...

Thanks!

Using joy-cons, it works for me. Are you sure you're holding A? That is, whatever is mapped to NES A on your controller (the "jump" button).

Edit : also, if I remember correctly that only brings you to the beginning of the world, not specific level. So if you were on 1-4, you're still going to 1-1.

    I haven't checked with the Joy Cons, but will do later the day, thanks for the input.

    Even if that brings you back to the beginning of the world, it's still a big help :)

    I just tried with my 8bitdo (not a pro controller though, SN30 pro). Game over on 3-2, A+start brings me to 3-1.

    I went to check it and... believe it or not, but it works now. With Joy Cons and with the 8bitdo controller as well. So I have no idea what did went wrong this morning. I was doing it multiple times, from world 3 and 4 and nothing. Weird!

    Thanks!

    Heh, no worries. It happens. Don't know how many times I couldn't get anything to work, and then when I try to show it to someone it would auto-magically work properly.

    Can you update your post add that it's fixed. Would let others know that it's resolved.
