What is the best world of Super Mario 3?

You get the Hammer Bros. suit by beating the Hammer Bros. in world 6.

Who the hell voted desert? Come forward!

you can get one in a mushroom house too! I forget which one though.

There's a bunch of mushroom houses that randomly give you Tanooki Suit, Hammer suit or Frog Suit. I think there's also a hidden big "?" block that gives you a hammer suit.

Worlds 7 and 8 are the hardest in all of mariodom aren't they.

World 8 isn't so bad! You can swim underneath the big ship, after all. :>

Yeah let's do Mario 2! One time I had like 30 lives and was getting bored and started just jumping in random holes and found a warp zone! I think it was in level 4? It was at the bottom of a waterfall that looked like a deathhole but wasn't.

Mario 2 desert stages >>>>>>>> Mario 3 desert stages.

I did not vote Desert Hill, but there was a point (early on in my mario 3 days, when I was like 10) when 2.4 & 2.5 used to be my 2 favorite consecutive levels.

Nickalicious OTM, Mario 2 desert stages are exciting. Especially when you're in, you know, a basket and you're digging down in the sand with a slower character (not Toad), and dudes are chasing you. Especially the flying masked guy and you have to keep throwing away the key, you know?

I believe it's world 6.5 that was UTTERLY IMPOSSIBLE for me to beat when I was 7

Someone help me beat 6-5! I've tried it a million times but I can't get past it! "Starfighter" here suggests a plausible solution, but I can't do it. How the hell are you supposed to hold the koopa shell (by holding down b) AND fly (by hitting a repeatedly) at the same time???? HALP!!!

GREEN HILL ZONE

yup:

i just saw a dude playing super mario 1 on his laptop at work!

My brother just beat NES TMNT and my whole family is hugely in awe of him (he is 22).

uh

haha
that game was hard!!

It wouldn't be that hard except for that fucking water level.

like I would always lose a turtle or too

BAD WATER LEVEL aka the RAPHAEL KILLER

WATER LEVEL is pain.

also the bombs?

I was mainly impressed bcz when I was like seven and he was five, I would watch him play that game, and every time he made a mistake, he would yell that I distracted him and throw the controller really hard at me. So it is a game whose difficulty I associate with personal collateral damage.

i don't know, i didn't even really fuck with that game, i would just play through tmnt: the arcade game over and over.

it'd be hard enough without the bombs

you can turn your hand palm-down and use a couple of fingers?

OMG Thanks Jordan, yr modest tip allowed me to BEAT 6-5!!!

(I then lost all my lives on 6-6, but my glory shall live on forever!)

This is dope imo:

awesome

All the stuff coming out lately with the Lua scripting has been incredibly bizarre - see also Mega Man 2 with laser eyebeams.

that looks incredibly frustrating. the mega man one is amazing.

the rainbow thing is awesome. Anyone played the Kirby game that's the other half of the mashup? Great stuff, until you get to collecting the last few things. I don't think I ever finished it, frustrating piece of shit...

My brother just beat NES TMNT and my whole family is hugely in awe of him (he is 22).

I do not believe this. While I probably last played this game when I was 5 or 6, I'm fairly sure it's impossible.

Only two votes for world 8? No one likes a challenge, eh? (Although it wouldn't have been my vote either, and I admit that I always ended up using the P-Wing on one of the levels. I forget which one.) The Desert world deserves to be recognised if only for the level where yr being chased by the sun. Thrills and spills aplenty.

as for New Super Mario Brothers, while it's no Super Mario 3, I got completely obsessed with it for two days. I must have played it for about 20 hours in that period. And then I was done. :(

Ha I beat NES TMNT back in the day (''88? '89?)! It took me 2 months of nonstop playing, but I did it. (Also, since the game was rented, it cost me $200 in late fines. Oops.)

I'm pretty certain i beat TMNT in jr. high; xp.

no way. All I remember is alternating between dying every minute and getting lost.
