I had an aversion to Super Mario Bros. 2 as a child but once I played it I found I actually liked it a lot.

Toad was awesome because there was one part of the game early on with a gently caress-ton of vegetables in the ground where you could throw the magic potion at them and enter sub-space, where you can pick those vegetables as coins quickly with him and get a shitload of extra lives during the slot machine game.

I think there's another vegetable area like that in world 4, right before you go up in the spaceship. You could then die purposely without ever running out of lives if you mastered all cherries all the time like I did :grin:

mario was the average :geno: and toad was very fast at running and picking things up but lovely at jumping they were basically the worst because if you could jump high like luigi or float long like toadstool you could take cool shortcuts

Sour Diesel posted:

there's that one level that warps you to world 7 or w/e that you can only jump to as luigi

then it was back to the princess after that

There were glitchy ways around the shortcuts sometimes. I remember figuring out as a kid that I could sometimes jump super high by taking a hit; basically I'd run into an enemy and pound the poo poo out of the A button. Found out years later that was called the double-jump glitch and you didn't even have to take the hit, it worked if you jumped just before hitting the enemy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCpMtnxz3eU

It could be useful, but mostly I just launched Luigi past the top of the screen for fun.

Wrong. They didn't use it because it was "too similar to the original."

Also everything else you said runs contrary to a lot of game that get pussified US versions.

ED: Lost Levels kind of blows though. SMB3 is the best.

thathonkey posted:

Super Mario Bros. 3 - probably the best side-scroller ever made
Super Mario World - if SMB3 wasn't the best, this one was

World wasn't bad but 3 owns it.

I think it might be the fact the NES graphics were still kind of surreal and when it jumped to SNES it became super-super cartoon cutesy.

Mario was the boring rear end who was just average at everything.

They should have made Mario unable to jump more than an inch off the ground

That way when the dream comes up, you'd realize it was actually his equivalent of an nightmare, "Even Toad can jump higher than me!"

Freud would have a few things to say about the dream

Didn't need them, just mastered the timing of the slot machine cherries.

It's like that one trick with the Koopa Troopa and the stairs in the first Mario Bros. where you get into lives that are symbols and poo poo after you get tired of bouncing him off the stairs.

Everything they've said: Howard Phillip the Clown of Nintendo once said it was a tough game. The end.

Which pussified US games? Because, just off the top of my head, these games are tougher in America than Japan: Battletoads, at least one of the Ninja Gaidens (3?), the Double Dragon games, the Castlevania games, Bayou Billy, the Contra games, both Zelda games, and American Super Mario 2 (compared to Doki Doki Panic). And this was apparently done because no rentals in Japan, whereas rentals were a thing in the US.

Not sure, but if you beat Super Mario World, all the piranha plants are replaced by pumpkins and I thought that was stupid as hell.

If I remember right, this happens after you beat Star Road, and it also replaces shells with Mario heads.

Peebla posted:

Super Mario world is the worst one because I could never ever get past 99 percent completion when I was a kid. What the gently caress was I missing!? I played it so often that whenever I was out of school sick I would start a new file in the morning and easily have it beaten by the time my brothers got back from school. And I sucked and still suck at video games that require even the slightest bit of skill talent or knowledge. I was good as gently caress at harvest moon and animal crossing, though!

It's number of paths, not percent. World had something like 94 or 96 paths. I used to think you could get 100, too, but it just doesn't happen.
