List of Game Mechanics In All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.

The following is a list of all the major game mechanics in All Night Nippon Super Mario. While the majority of these mechanics come directly from the Japanese version of Super Mario Bros. 2, many of the more frustrating mechanics of that game have been removed. Also please note that while the turtle shell trick and the Small Fiery Mario glitch are listed as game mechanics from the original Super Mario Bros. game, they both work in SMB2J as well.
