I went through 37 levels to beat it, but that doesn’t even tell the whole story, since I got 1-ups like half the time.

Fun game though

    I did it with Nabbit and can’t imagine doing it while taking hits. Best 2D Mario yet.

          I forgot about the rotating fire bars because it wasn’t in the final checkpoint, and I did each checkpoint on a different session.

        Both Nabbit and Yoshi can take hits, but can still die by falling or touching lava. Still very difficult but considerably easier.

      I don’t know about the larger trends, but Mario games have always had a lot of them. You fall down a pit and you’re dead.

      Also it’s pretty typical for modern Mario games to have a nice normal difficulty curve, and then if you 100% it you get a final challenge that’s just completely outside the bounds of the rest of the game’s difficulty. This one was just even nastier than the last several incarnations. I’m not sure what the thinking behind these is, unless it really is “yeah we know you’re playing Kaizo hacks.”
