Super Mario Bros Glitched Cartridge

My name is Wes when I was a young boy I would always watch T.V. and watch my Dad play the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt game watching him stomp his way to Bowser killing him and save Princess Peach and the Mushroom Kingdom. Whenever he would tired of Super Mario Bros he would switch to Duck Hunt plugging in the Nintendo Gun and blasting away at those ducks. My dad was a disabled veteran from the Vietnam War unable to work cause of his Crohn's disease so he would have to stay home and clean do whatever he could to keep himself busy but unfortunately in my early teens my father died from a Stomach aneurysm I had to move in with my Grandma and Grandpa cause my sorry excuse of mom left my dad and became an alcoholic always saying i was a mistake and how she hated my guts. My mom wanted to abort me but my dad would argue with her saying no even to the point of saying if you abort my child I will make sure you regret it. I'm 28 now and I live on my own with my pet dog named Red and if you were wondering yes I named my dog after my favorite Pokemon Trainer. I will only play Nintendo games and systems I had a Nintendo 64, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advanced, and Gameboy I have yet to obtain a Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U, as well as a 3DS and other handheld Nintendo systems. My birthday is coming up and my Grandma called me asking what game system I really liked the most and what game I wanted and what i don't already have I got super excited cause my Grandma always got me what i wanted for my birthday so I told her I really wanted the Nintendo Entertainment System with Super Mario Bros game I always wanted my own copy of Super Mario Bros and not the crappy remakes of them either. We talked awhile on the phone after I hung up I looked at the time it was late but I was way too excited to go to bed now so I got my Gameboy Color and played Pokemon Red I got to the 3rd gym and fell asleep while playing it. I woke up the next day and my progress got lost on Pokemon Red cause of the battery dying and all, I got a voice mail from my Grandma to meet her at a pizza restaurant uptown so I hurried got a shower and got dressed and got in my car and met her there. We met there and ate and talked and she handed me a medium sized box wrapped up with a card on top of it saying "Happy Birthday Wes, Love Grandma" and there was a 20 dollar bill in the card I hugged her and said "Thank you Grandma" she smiled and left and waved to me I got home after spending another 30 minutes at the pizza restaurant cause the cashier flirted with me and gave me her number but Nostalgia got the best of me at this moment the Nintendo looked in excellent condition along with the Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt game I hooked up the Nintendo and booted up the game but when the Super Mario Bros title screen came up it was a bunch of glitched pixels and numbers so I turn the system off blew in the game and system and booted it up again the title screen looked fine now I started the game and I got even more excited hearing the overworld theme Que up I smashed the Goomba and got the Mushroom Power up got passed the three pipes and got the hidden extra man then i jumped over the hole in the ground then I heard a higher pitched version of when Mario jumps on the flag pole and slides down on it the background changed to the castle background and the Time changed to 001 and the World level was still 1-1 then I got by those fireball rotating things I ducked and the game froze but I was able to save the picture for you guys before the screen went black. Then I restarted the system again and this time i got passed 1-1 then I got to 1-2 went up passed the pillars then the game glitched again on the top part of the screen showed a bunch of numbers and the Koopas turned into the upper half of Bowser I shot a fireball at them, and again the game froze. This time the screen didn't turn black it just stayed there until I reset the game again and tried again and got passed both 1-1 and 1-2 then i spawned in the Castle level and once again the game glitched up and froze! Before I could even move Mario so I raged quit after that. I woke up the next day and thought I would try again this time I got really far without any problems. I got all the way to the level with the fish that jumps up after Mario then I made good head way until I heard a reversed and higher pitched Mushroom power-up sound effect then the glitches were back again but the game didn't freeze this time it just kept going as I progressed through the level the platforms were instead a bunch of numbers 0s and I jumped up to tried to collect the coins when Mario touched the coins though the coins didn't disappear like they do instead the screen glitched up. I was able to get to the end and Mario jumped on the flag pole and did his normal sliding down animation then the game froze again with loud buzzing going throughout my house. I shut the game off and called my Grandma asked where she got the game from she told me she had it put away all this time after my dad died, then she went on telling me this is the very game I would watch my dad play all the time and I told her I had to go, I look in the box there was a note in there it said "To Wes from Your Dad" I started to cry after I got done crying I read the note it said "Wes by the time you read this you'll be on your own and be 29 I asked your Grandma to hold on to it and have it put away I wanted you to have this later in your life cause I know you would be in pain everyday having it but I know you love this game it might be messed up a little from the age and how it was stored take good care of it and clean it up a little. With love, Dad". My memories of my dad were rushing back to me, I went out and sold all my other game system and games now I only stick with my dad's Nintendo and got several games for it and enjoyed my dad's Nintendo since.
