got about halfway through world 7 and it's starting to hit that point of being too difficult to be fun so i figure it's best to tap out before I stop enjoying it, even as far in as i am. maybe i'll go back and finish it someday, who knows.
it's a classic platformer, it's good. most likely one of the hardest 2d marios we're ever going to get, which isn't always a good thing, but it makes the levels generally feel much more fulfilling to complete than some modern offerings like Wonder. just about as much as you could really squeeze out of a platformer on the NES but a lot of the levels still end up blending together, sadly. obviously plenty good for the time but also a part of that era where progress was so rapid that World was only about 2 years down the line when this came out lol

This is the best of 8-bit platforming. Everything good about it still holds up today. Strongly recommend for anyone who enjoys platforming games, or anyone interested in the history of video games.
Nintendo mastered the controls, the visual presentation, and the music, and your favorite game probably owes something to it.

Amazing Game. I plan to finish this, but I have a problem: Whenever I play it and I don't do perfect on the first few levels, my brain makes me restart it for a "fresh start", but that's just my problem. I learned about this game through the Wii, and I remember playing this on saturday mornings. Great game.
