"Nintendo never did bullet-bouncing"

[KingMike]

I know it was somewhere raocow commented that bullet-bouncing was never required in a Nintendo-made game.
And though this isn't quite that, I did notice you actually can see Mario bullet-hop in the Japanese SMB3 commercial if you watch closely. And it is ridiculous!

Jumping on a single bullet bill in an animated commercial = bullet bouncing

[morsel/morceau]

There's that one bit you jump of a bullet to spawn a vine to get a ¿tanooki suit?
SMB2J greenlights everything in spirit if not in letter anyway.

There was that one part in that one level in the forest of illusion where a bullet jump was optional but not required, does that count?

[Argumentable]

There were no bullets in forest of illusion so no.

You probably mean Outrageous.

[Bean]

Didn't you have to bullet bounce in SMB3 in 8-1 if you got caught in that one area with the two tall cannons surrounding you, or was there a hidden block there?

[Argumentable]

There's a block. Or you can just run and jump over it. Right before that you're supposed to bounce off a koopa, though (but you can also make that jump while running)

[peteyboo]

That commercial is highly exaggerated anyway. Mario can't gain height with the Racoon Tail after falling from a standstill.
