I never played Mario as a kid - the NES wasn't as popular in Europe as the Sega Master System. I downloaded the original Sonic and played it on an emulator a while ago and had a similar experience where I whizzed through the game pretty quickly, remembering the locations of all the power-ups. I even found a bug/feature in the first level, allowing me to complete it without even looking at the screen - if you roll down a particular hill with the "fast shoes" powerup, Sonic goes so fast that he disappears off the right of the screen and doesn't collide with any of the enemies!
