SMB3 Cartridge Fail (My SMB3 Has Finally Kicked The Bucket)

Welp, I think it's the end of the line for my SMB3 cartridge. This is about as best as I can get it to work.
A few things about this video:
1) THIS IS NOT A CARTRIDGE TILT
2) This is not a ROM-Hack
3) I recorded this with a DVD Recorder on a REAL NES, this is not emulated.
4) THIS IS NOT A CARTRIDGE TILT
5) THIS IS NOT A CARTRIDGE TILT

Only a month ago, it was working fine. I hadn't messed with it, although getting it to work after just placing it in took some work (while several of my NES games work without having to manhandle the cartridge). Then, stuff like this happened.
At it's worst, though, it will have many funny occurrences such as an empty dialog box shortly after the first piranha plant, a green Toad that brings up another dialog box with garbled text (doesn't stop you), and it inability to hit the box at the end of the level (always).
Enjoy.

@mrnicenoob No, there's sound coming through the left side, just not as much. The video was not like this originally.

i remember when i was a kid i had the same problem with random glithes appearing contstantly,i first tout it was my copy of smb3,cuzz other games just worked fine,cuzz even on other nes systems it happened.

not realizing that the cartride was all dirty inside, i blowed a 1000,000 times in it,untill we bought the nes cleaning kit along with another nes and presto it worked like a champ,the older nes finaly failed to work cuzz we played allmost 24:7 a day!!!!

@johneymute NES cleaning kit doesn't fix the problems I have with this cartridge.

@CrazyEnzo03 Find a terrible video.

It will blow so hard your game will start working again.

I do this on purpose by hitting the side. Doesn't break it luckily.

well oops

[theretrogamer14]

oh I had a game that glitched but much worse (just had to jiggle it around to fix it though)

[Caleb5617]

sounds like one of the contacts on the cartridge got destroyed when you "manhandled" it into your NES

[Awesom3Gamer]

@CrazyEnzo03 Your breath contains moisture, therefore making the connectors on the cartridge rust so try to not do that. Cool video anyway...
