new adventure island is absolute perfection. air tight controls and excellent level design. nothing else in the series really compares desu

adventure island 4 is my 2nd favorite

>> No.10390470

All of them are kino except the first one, ironically. I really enjoy II, III and New though.

Never got the chance to finish any of them (and I'm a scrub), but is the original harder all the way through? I remember II's first few levels being cakewalks compared to the first stage's in the original.

It's probably just me who suck but AI2 gets brutal midway through (starting from the ice island). You can avoid most of the difficulties if you take the right routes but final island is entirely difficult, especially the very last level where you get only one food pickup.

AI1 is more like a gradual test of your skills, it starts with a relatively mild challenge, then when you've got used to it a bit, it releases the rope

Both Adventure Island 1 and Wonder Boy 1 aged so poorly. Respect me

My wife is Japanese and thought this was unironically hilarious when I told her about it, to the point she calls our daughter Takahashi Meijin whenever she does the bulldog face or whatever the fuck it's called

I love that he self-inserted as a fat, shirtless dude who eats endlessly and saves big titted fairies and marries island princesses.
He is truly the king.

Super Adventure Island 1 may not be that difficult compared to others in the series, but goddamn I love it. That soundtrack is one of Yuzo's best.

I've played 1 through 4 on Famicom, plus the first one on SNES and on PC-E and 3 is my favourite

>>10390478
1 gets brutally end towards the end, especially 8-2 and 8-3. If you can save your weapons (which is what the TAS "longplays" do) it's not so bad but of course you lose them when you die and then you're screwed. I've beaten about 320 NES/Famicom games and AI1 is genuinely in the top 3 hardest I've beaten
