User:MetaWeegee/Super Mario Bros. 1 (SMB) enemy appearance counts/percentages
How many levels of SMB1 each enemy appears in. Pasted here so people can find it through Google Search results easily. I have it in two formats, a straight comparison list and a deeper level breakdown. I already made a video on this subject about a year ago, but I get that not everyone likes watching videos. I also have one for SMB1 the Lost Levels, just not sure how to reconcile the differences between versions. But that should be up in a day or two. Also I'll include the given video and a few notes at the bottom. Feel free to suggest any formatting fixes/corrections.
Also some quick notes:
- By my current standards, the FireBars and Turtle Cannons would not be counted. They're obstacles, not living creatures and would make more sense to count separately. I didn't figure that when I first organized them and I didn't feel like putting in the effort to renumber them for consistency with future games.
- The format is probably gonna be tweaked in the future. With like, full tables and stuff. Right now I'm just focused on getting this out there and making it Google Searchable.
