My Super Mario Bros. on SNES won't save
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: Gestation
My SNES came from my friend, along with Super Mario Bros. which i have been playing. The A & B slots have game files on them, so i play those, but when i turn it off then back on, all my score, coins and lives have been reset, even though i am at the same place in the game. He says it saves the game for you automatically, so I don't understand why it won't save. I even saved it at the nearest Ghost House, but everything still resets. Anyone remember this game, or know anything about it?

Your coins, lives, and score are not saved. Your progress in the game is what is saved, over-all. Such as the worlds you've unlocked, the bosses and stages you've beaten.
It doesn't seem like there's a problem with the game itself, just a misunderstanding of how it's saving system works.

Well, thank you. That clears it up quite nicely in one fell swoop. I'm glad I understand now. Maybe I shouldn't have spent that 4-5 hours getting 99 lives & 2million points score three times. 
Thanks for the information, Bishop.

Also, does anyone know where to get Legend of the Mystical Ninja for SNES?

First: Look in the phone book for used video game dealers - there's a few.
Second: For something for the SNES, you may just go for ebay or yahoo auctions too.
Third: Make it a point to stop in at Gamestop or EB Games (Babbage's, whatever they're called). Basically anyone who will take used games for trade.
Used VG dealers are hearder to find, but you can see (and sometimes play) what you're getting, which online auctions don't offer. The mainstream new dealers that take trade-ins have changing stuff every day, but the odds of them getting what you want is very slim, especially since it's kinda old, and the return policy with those games really sucks, plus there isn't a chance in h-e-double hockey sticks that you can test anything out there.

EDIT:
Here's a couple ebay auctions here - $19.99 plus S/H

Cool, well thanks a lot people for the help.
Yblitzka, thnks for the links.. I checked them out the day you posted. I found a way better auction for that game tho, it's just too bad I couldn't bid in time before it was over. I had an ebay account a couple years ago, and thought that I had cancelled it.. but I checked over my old messages in my Outlook Express, and there was one from ebay from a long time ago. Turns out I just had to renew the same account, which I did. The auction I found, no-one bid on (even me : ) even though it was $0.99USD the whole time.
$10.00USD shipping, and I live in Canada. And, if I put in a bid I could have had it incl. S&H for less than $15.00 Canadian total. Damn.
I played Legend of the Mystical Ninja on a friends emulator (I don't have one, though I guess it would be nice), and it wasn't as good as I'd hoped, tho I still want it.
My top choices now (for SNES games to get [hard cartridge]) are: Lemmings, Street Fighter II, & Mariokart.

You spent 4-5 hours getting 99 lives? You know that whenever you are even remotely close to dying about the "Super Secret Place" or whatever where if you are riding yoshi a yoshi egg will appear and be a 1-up. infinite lives. Also the first dungeon is a great place to get many 1-ups.
