He actually took on the same challenge during the show’s second season, and though Arino failed to complete SMB 3 after playing for 18 hours, he was able to pull off the 1UP trick after 39 tries. Not trying to brag, but my wife is like 80 million times better than Arino at SMB 3. Seriously, she’s a genius at the game (while I’m terrible at it).

Buy: New Super Mario Bros. Wii ($46.99 with an extra $10 video game credit)
