lost fucking media!?

WHY IS IT SO DIFFICULT!?

Ultimately just feels like a hard level pack of mario 1 where you can play as luigi. That would usually make the game more interesting but I find the level design to just be not as good as the first. Ultimately I feel american mario 2 was a better sequal even if technically it was a reskin of another game.

yes, this game is ridiculous and unfair a lot of the time but I found that playing with the luxury of save states makes it a much more manageable and even enjoyable challenge - you don't have to be hugely punished for each mean trick Nintendo pulls and can just laugh at the absurdly Mario Maker esque level design, load up and move on.

except the mazes, fuck them

realistically without save states you will never beat this game. its ridiculously difficult and aims to test your patience. its well made but frustrating to play.

Definitely feels too hard from pretty early on, but it's a fun challenge to overcome

this game was made by satanic people who hate sunshine, rainbows, laughter, puppies and every joyous thing in between. fortunately miyamoto found God and redeemed himself with mario 3 so he wouldn't repeat the same mistakes 🛐

why the hell is the game we got in the west better than this

It looks nice, but it's still meh.

Too difficult for its own good. It's got the same heavy controls from the first game but the level design feels like it asks more than what Mario is capable of so it's just not fun to play.
