What does Mafia II, rated M, for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC, have to do with jumping over a flagpole?

Oh wait, that was an ad. You'd think at least they'd have an ad for a game with the same ESRB rating and on the same company's hardware as the game shown in the video that follows the ad.

I forget which but I am pretty sure theres a level where you can jump over the flagpole and goto the 2nd ending of the level.

After watching the video I think it may be 2-1.

hehe,

there was always a rumor going around the school that some kid managed to jump the flag pole, but I never saw it in real life, so to speak.

The only time I've done it is in SMB2j, where you're supposed to be able to. I thought I'd found an amazing secret as I continued to run past the end of the level, only to be outraged when I found the secret was a warp zone back to world 1! The developers were really tricky to do that

.

I'm sure if you do it in the original somehow, the game would glitch/crash or something stupid would happen. It's not like you're going to find 1 million extra lives and super invincibility powers or anything...

EDIT: Oh, now I actually took the time to watch the video, and whaddya know! I was right: something really stupid happens

.

If you do it in the original, you just end up running on a looping level until time runs out.

Edit: Ah. The first video posted says as much. That's what I get for not watching.

If you jump over the flag and keep running, you'll find a secret level where there is a heavy machine gun, with all kinds of mode 7 effects, and giant robots.

But only on the version of All-Stars that has the debug mode in SMB3, right?

Naw, it's in the Mexican release version also.

somebody should make a mexican-mario hack (!).

What could possibly be more awesome than a fat plumber in a sombrero jumping the flagpole?

I'm pretty sure it already exists.
