One thing that was pointed out to me, is that this is the first 2D Mario game, where if you die in a level (as long as you don't game over completely) you keep any important collectibles like the big coins. That makes it a valid strategy in the Special levels to just sacrifice a life to grab an out-of-the-way purple coin.

Hm, I could swear I recognize that tune at 11:40 from something else but I have no idea what it could be.

One of the first Mario games I know of that had this "swimming through goo" mechanic was Super Mario Land 2 for the (monochrome) gameboy.

Making this an actually ancient reference.
