First you blow, then you wiggle.
It sounds kinky, but that’s how I fixed my NES every time I got the (original) blue screen of death when my Nintendo games were too dirty to work. We also had habits of shoving paper in the port, setting a second cart on top of the first, and flipping over the entire thing to get it to work. Regardless of what we did in our home, every one of our friends did something different. It was like a secret handshake that everyone did wrong.
The video above shows several methods of jamming Mario into the gray box, and we can’t help but get a little nostalgic.
A few more similarly-themed vids after the break as well.
