I can't completely recall but ya it is just flat out a better put together game. Keycards are much less of a hassle as well. Still need a guide though since the game has a piracy measure in that your commander will change frequencies from time to time and those frequencies were in the instruction book. But even if you are using a guide/map, it's still a very very good 2D game and honestly I'm upset it isn't that highly regarded (probably because it didn't get an english release until MGS3 subsistance.

I had Super Metroid sitting in my closet for over a decade. When I tried playing it after reading an internet circlejerk over it, I couldn't figure out where to go after the starting screen, so I looked up a youtube walkthrough. I used it the whole game, 30 minutes at a time. Watching, then playing the same action. Everything was spoiled, nothing was exciting. I think the game was boring, tedious, and linear as a result.

I've never beaten a Metroid game.

Not even Super Metroid, which I've started a new save on, about 10 times but I just get to a point where I'm so fucking lost I feel like killing myself.

The shame comes from the fact that everyone talks about how awesome the game is and I can see that! The graphics and music are incredible, I just lose the will to complete it.

Sorry Metroid fans.

There are very few NES games that I like outside of the extremely obvious ones like SMB and Zelda I and II. Never liked Journey to Silius, didn't really like Kid Icarus, didn't like Dragon Quest or the first three Final Fantasy games. I only really liked Mega Man 2 out of the first six. Probably the one exception is Shatterhand, but even that one's getting more popular now. There's also "Battletoads and Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team", which most Battletoads fans don't know about even though I think it's better on Genesis

You got to be fucking kidding me. The direction doesn't even get convoluted at all until after the pirate ship.

SMB is one of the most unforgiving and frustrating games on the NES, I have no idea why it doesn't have a reputation for being hard.

I can beat the original Ninja Gaiden in less than 14 minutes every time I play it, but I've never in my life beaten the original SMB, even with warps.

Mega man can only have 3 shots on screen at a time, so you'll notice if you get close to the edge of the screen, you can fire pellets until time immemorial.

it's not too bad until you get to the last 3 stages, which are not only extremely difficult, but have you fight 3 final bosses in a row, and if you die on any of them you have to re-do the 3 stages again

eventually you play all of them enough that you can easily get to the bosses and defeat them, but the last part of that game can take you longer than the entire rest of the game

There's no shame in that if you were really young/new to games. I couldn't beat Green Hill Zone for a long time when I was a little kid because games were just so new to me. I eventually beat the entire game with all emeralds; that was a great fucking day.

My list:
After wandering around for a while and grinding a bit I looked up a map of the 3rd dungeon in Kid Icarus cause I couldn't find my way to the top right square, despite the fact that I had uncovered every other.

I looked up a strategy to defeat the gatekeeper in Dynamite Headdy.

Sorry, not really retro: I looked up the location of the last missile expansion in Metroid Prime because I simply could not find it.

I have never beaten SMB without warp zones.

Because you can't beat every level with perfect consistency, and iterated probabilities multiply. SMB3 has 90 levels. If you can clear each one with 99% certainty, your chances of clearing every one consecutively is only 0.99^90 = 40%.

To save on loading times, I use savestates where I would normally save (and maybe all the fun boss fights (Zelda3 being a good example)), and if there's a bunch of grinding to deal with, fast forward a majority of the time, or just remember the rewards and such, use a cheat engine to give myself a probable amount of the reward (giving myself a few less of them as a price for cheating to cut on time), and just ballpark the EXP and level I was reaching for (relevant to the amount of work i would otherwise waste; penalize my game data with the same amount of time it would normally take. Less muss, less fuss, avoid the grind, still enjoy the game as I otherwise normally would have.

Anyone else use Cheat Engine or otherwise to just minimize the agonizing grind in certain games; or to even check out some of the proposed rumors games give you as well? Like Ayla's Golden Fist after a certain level (Someone in the Developer Ending mentions it); it's true, each crit does 9999 damage; but she has to reach Level 60, at least, to maximize her power stat.
