which mario games are not easy?

probably the biggest difference for me is no custom music in mario maker, the music really does so much

Thanks esby, these are all insane & great

(particularly that last one w/the puzzle rooms)

Mario 64 romhacks are a fun rabbit hole too though there's only a couple ones with any semblance of polish due to how much more work 3d is

ooh just remembered another good one.. completely unprecedented at the time, catching this live was like the video game troll equivalent of seeing a ronaldinho goal:

Good revive. I’ve been watching smw streamers a lot this year. esby already mentioned JuzCook (Invictus) - I like every single video he puts on youtube. Another great streamer you mentioned is GlitchCat (return to subcon) whom can beat the hardest humanly possible levels ever made for smw. You also linked Grand POOBear, another all around fun guy to watch.

I’ve been toying with making my own hack levels. The latest version of the level editor allows you to combine horizontal and vertical stages so I have been testing a long, perilous slide down a steep slope in a narrow cave while with an “auto-walking” patch so you can’t turn around midslide.
