You know, Brutal Mario has so many bosses! So...how about a challenge? This will be similar to a Boss Rush (in Gradius) or Endurance (In Kirby). Yep, you guessed right, the challenge is to defeat as many of Brutal Mario's bosses as you can without dieing. Here are some more rules to this challenge:
1. This only applies to the bosses themselves, so it's all right if you die in the actual level (I did once at the 2nd castle). Also, you are free to use save states with anything EXCEPT the bosses. Save states are not allowed to be used during boss fights, but can be used BEFORE one. There are some exceptions when bosses have two "forms", you can save state between forms ONLY if you're recording yourself so the game's audio can continue to be in snyc.
2. You are allowed to be Fire or Cape Mario with another item in the item box, and you can collect items offered to you in battle.
3. If you die during ANY BOSS BATTLE, that's it. Make a note of how many bosses you defeated, and that's your score. I may make a rank system to compare scores. Feel free to comment on the videos showing your score.
4. Bosses must be done in order, to avoid confusion. Here are the levels, in order, in which the bosses can be found. The boss names are also listed.
1-Castle: Shy Guy, Larry

@bucleta Not a lot of room to fly around, plus the shell is only available for a few seconds once it is shot.

what is 8-4?

It's the level right after the mansion. Check out Boss Battles Part 7. It's basically like a "hell" kind of area. It has the HUGE dragon boss at the end.
