Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

if it it feels like dlc, that's because it basically was

Pretty good when you have infinite lives on.

enjoyed this one when i finally played it with the original physics. surprised it's rated so low. i guess the parts where you're jumping onto a tiny platform that you can't see ahead of time or where you're trying to land on a tiny platform but you can't see mario are unfair. it was nice to have a difficult mario before Super Mario Maker [スーパーマリオメーカー] came along

there's a level of humor to the increasing amount of bullshit the game throws at you, from the bloopers in the sky to the backwards warp zones to the fire bars in 7-2 to the multiple Bowsers in the last level

Probably miserable without save states / infinite lives but with one or the other it becomes an absolutely hilarious and glorious time.

i have seen people compare this game to kaizo hacks and the worst of mario maker in terms of difficulty and ,fuck no it isnt even close imo lol
