Had to revisit this for October and to compare it with RE4 2023, and it’s still a hood classic

Still can’t believe they had adaptive difficulty in a game like this from so long ago, Capcom is just a different beast out here

thank god we’re far past the point of NES level design because man is the game a neat lil experience until stage 14 and onward where the devs remembered the game is only 30 minutes long so they gotta inflate the playtime by throwing a bunch of stupid shit at you that slow ass Simon Belmont can’t avoid

It still has a similar problem that I had with the original where it gets stupid difficult for no reason towards the end but the rest of game is a step up and I can swing my whip like a dumbass so everything works out like God intended

It'sa me, Mario! I run and jump around to save the princess, wahoo!

Does the Devil know what it’s like to feel the pain and suffering of the mortal coil? To bleed the same way as us? To suffer the anguish of existence? Does he sleep and have the same nightmares as us? Can he still be the Devil if he doesn’t know these things at all?

Its-a me, Mario! I run and jump and throw things around with my friends, wahoo!

This game’s level design has genuinely no right to be going as hard as it does for the era it came out and then still hold up now. As much praise as it gets, I still don’t feel like this one gets enough of it.

There's not much I can say that hasn't been said differently and a billion times over by virtually everyone else so at least play this at some point in your life and experience the whimsical joy of child-like wonder and some bombass platforming

I know what to say but if I say it it’s going to end with SMBW and SMB3 fans coming together to destroy my home and everything I love

Don’t ever buy Mario for your TI-83 calculator

This is like the weirdest 2D Mario Miyamoto can handle before he starts getting scared

I think I would’ve liked this a lot more as a kid but this was still a cool and charming ‘modern’ take on the 2D side of things. I just hope I don’t get too sick of the rest of the “New” series games but who knows!

You'd be amazed at how infinitely less interesting Wii gets the moment you're playing by yourself and you realize how bare bones the platforming is because they built the whole game around its co-op and co-op only

It starts out a lot cooler than it ends but it would've been a universal 10/10 if they just included this song

I swear U and Luigi are good but playing the ‘New’ series back to back really wears you the fuck down far more than you expect it to
