got these two cool patches from nintendo. one is darker than the other maybe they were made at different times? well anyway you get these by playing the lost levels on Super Mario All-Stars on the SNES without warping and making it pass world 8. you just had to pause and take a picture of the TV screen (with world 9 on it for proof of course.) and send it to nintendo and they will mail you a patch for your achievement. these were only given out in 1993! very similar to the activision patches on the atari 2600 and the way you had to take a picture of the tv screen. activision did this in the eighties not sure if it crossed over into the nineties. but, it is obvious where nintendo got the idea from. the lost levels was originally "super mario bros 2" but it was ditched and changed to another game because the game was very difficult to play. so the "world 9 challenge" was truly an accomplishment!

Would you be willing to sell one? My mother just passed away and she actually got one of these patches. But it has been lost and I'm devastated. Just thought I would ask. Thanks
