Definitely one of the best games the NES has to offer. I feel the game finds a good middle ground between difficult and punishing. You will only have to replay at most a couple of levels when you lose all your lives. 90% of the levels were all pretty decent aside from a few frustrating ones in world 7 and 8. Overall the best 2D Mario I've played.
probably the first game i ever played 0_0 i distinctly remember being like 5 or 6 and playing it while visiting someone's house, i didn't make any progress since i kept dying to the first piranha plant.
having played it over the past few days it's really fun! such a solid game lol i dont know what to say that hasn't been said before, some of the coolest level design in the series that i feel in some ways hasn't been matched since. i also love the art style and use of the limited color palette it's super pleasing.
i tried to minimize use of savestates in my run but i caved by world 8 LMAO i was just kinda burned out by then. 7 was probably my favorite world overall just bc of how obtuse some of the level design is loool that one castle with all the coins was crazy.

I'm definitely biased since this is one of the first video games I've ever played but I don't care. This is one of those rare video games for me where everything just feels like it comes together seamlessly. The new power ups are amazing, the level themes are awesome and super original for the time, the soundtrack has a very nostalgic feel to it, and it introduced the chad Koopalings. One of my favorite Mario games of all time hands down
