So Mario is a roguelike?

You can continue in Mario when you run out of lives.

Wait really? I thought you had to start at 1-1!

(I have almost never played Mario, in truth. Mostly just the first handful of levels and never with enormous interest.)

You hold A and press Start to continue from the beginning of the last world you reached. Maybe it was in the instruction manual, but most Mario games allow you to continue more intuitively than that.
