Talk About Anti-Climactic

I finally beat Mario. The original. As Luigi, which I love. I totally rule.

BUT dude! All that happens is an 8 bit princess telling me in type that I've completed my quest and then giving me the same fucking game to beat again, only with those helmet beatle things insteads of the mushroom things. I expected to be done with it and at least get some of those end-of-level fireworks. Shoot.
