You can jump over the flagpole in SMB.  It's just endless running until time runs out.

I've seen in ROM hacks, and I've seen in on Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels, but I've never seen it in SMB on an NES. I've clearly jumped higher than the flagpole, and the game just forces you down the pole.

Speaking from experience, it can be done.  You have to be pixel-perfect, but it is possible.

Huh, I hadn't heard that Lavender theme myth. Interesting, because I just read a story in a manga that refers to a song that would entice the listener into committing suicide.

I remember a friend telling me about that he had a Level 255 Mewtwo in Pokemon Red, at the time I thought he was making it up, but I always remembered that he used that specific number.  I now realize that he was talking about 'Missing No.' HAA!!
