Have you ever beaten Lost Levels?

>> No.5278878

Yeah when I was 12.

>> No.5278940

>>5278869
Yes as an adult and it was extremely hard. You have to devote yourself to the game to beat it. It's like being married. No wait!

If we read video game title screens like books, then yes. Unless it was in Hebrew then it'd be Bros. Mario Special Super, I think.

I did it, though I would barely call it worth congratulating over. They gimped a lot of the stages just to make them playable on the GBC, and the five bonus worlds aren't even playable.

the game saves after every level which makes it very well balanced and fun

By the time I had beaten it enough to get to Worlds A-D, I was basically speed running it. I’ve lost that muscle memory by now though.

>> No.5284631

Super Mario series works better if you consider Yoshi's Island the last game and 64 as a reboot. Has escalation of events followed by an original story which ties everything together. 64 to Galaxy has a similar arc if made its own.

Did you go through World 9 as well?

>> No.5285761

No, I couldn't beat 9 without dying the one time I got there. Maybe I'll fire it up and try it again sometime soon.

Mario works best if you leave any and all story out of it. Just like Zelda.
I'm really sick of games being required to have a story.
