Mexican here. If memory serves right, Nintendo had an actual distributor here, and SEGA was brought by private parties like Liverpool and upped the price big time compared to the SNES. It didn't help the SNES was a HUGE cultural icon thanks to the magazine Club Nintendo and the TV show Nintendomanía, as well the Famiclones you mentioned.

I agree, the Wii became sold BIG TIME across LatAm (and Spain?) as soon as people knew how to pirate it and load games via USB port.

For so many years, whenever I played Super Mario Bros. I'd just go straight to the warp zones and go to world 8 and get my ass handed to me.
I'd do this so much it subconsciously formed my conception of the game, I found it incredibly boring.

Forward to about a year and a half ago, for some reason me and my friend decided to play the game. I wanted to start a contest between us, so I said we weren't allowed to use any warp zones.

TFW the game suddenly becomes a fun, thrilling experience. We had super fun and it was the first time I actually enjoyed playing that game.

So I'd say play the full game, there's really little point in just skipping to the end.
