You know the one. 3-8. Gulp Fire Mario makes things a heck of a lot easier. Total play time so far: 1 hr, 5 min.

The level with the spinning platforms, the auto scroller with the chain chomp looking enemy that shoots fire and the one with the lakitu launching spinies all cost me a few lives. And the fortresses were considerably tougher too. 2 hr, 5 min seems low but apparently thats what Im at for play time. 29 lives in the bank so it wasnt too crushing. --- I need to update my signature. <cite>wallmasterz posted [p:974990357] in Mario...

I have played for 2 hours, 50 minutes. I have 3 fire flowers, a Tanooki suit, a Hammer suit or whatever its called, a Frog suit, 2 stars and some crap that doesnt help me (Jugems Cloud, a bunch of P-Wings etc.) Id probably have 99 lives if I was any good at that damn line up the picture game.

wallmasterz 07/22/23 11:15:21 AM #155:	Yeah, theres nothing wrong with using what the game gives you. I will never diss someone for doing it. But I want to beat every level, not skip them, and a P-Wing feels more like skipping the level to me even if the game technically registers it as beaten. I do use all other items though. Fire flower, frog suit, leaf, Star, mushroom etc. power ups are part of the Mario games and theres nothing wrong with using them. Its just that those power ups help you through the levels rather than helping you mostly avoid them --- I need to update my signature. <cite>wallmasterz posted [p:974997521] in Mario...

wallmasterz 07/22/23 3:39:30 PM #156:	Super Mario Bros. 3 is beaten! I honestly dont remember beating it before? When I started this play through I was under the impression I had done it before but only using warp whistles. It was very fun and I loved revisiting a game Ive spent hundreds of hours playing in my childhood alone (clearly I wasnt very good lol). I do plan to rank the games when Im done but you dont need me to tell you this is one of many jewels in Nintendos crown. Happy to give opinions people may want and please share your own SMB3 experiences if youre so inclined. All in all this took me about 5.5 hours, and I dont think there was an un-fun minute. Though Ill admit I looked up solutions on the last couple fortress puzzles where you need to find switches to make doors appear or access doors. I was getting nowhere fast, lol. A ton of concepts in this game were so fun. Im amazed they only used the shoe once! This also marked the first game where I didnt have to repeat any levels after beating them. That definitely did not hurt the fun factor lol. Thats game 4. Next up is Super Mario Land! --- I need to update my signature. <cite>wallmasterz posted [p:975001827] in Mario...

Seanchan 07/22/23 5:09:55 PM #159:	I'm mostly just poking fun at not being okay with save states and rewind but being willing to look up solutions. In my last playthrough, I was struck by how many of the little tricks and secrets that I remembered, even having not played Mario 3 in quite a long while. Same thing applied for World as well. There's that one stage in World 6 (the snow one) where it's an underground stage where it loops and you have to fly up into the right opening in the ceiling to find the exit pipe. As a kid, that stage completely stumped me until I viewed a guide. But I'm pretty sure it was one you could skip over by taking a different path. The, I think it was a mini-fortress, where you had to activate a P switch to go into a room that was otherwise filled with blocks, to find the hidden exit. In World 7, those vertical oriented stages (or was it only one?) where the screen looped around if you ran off one side, blew my mind a bit as a kid. --- "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! <cite>Seanchan posted [p:975003432] in Mario...

wallmasterz 07/22/23 5:19:53 PM #160:	Ha, yeah. Thats fair. Its perfectly fine if people want to use rewind or save states if theyre having fun. But for me, those trivialize the challenge of the platforming itself. Youre guaranteed to win every time, theres no risk of game over. I am hoping not to look up any of the secret exits for World but Im not going to drag my playing to a screeching halt for days upon days either. Asking me to solve puzzles on a timer where running out of time costs me a life and you arent saving my progress after each level?

I remember being a bit underwhelmed, but thinking it was an okay game based on the varying limitations inevitably faced by a GB launch title. Also, I forgot this game doesnt automatically save your progress when you finish a world. Thats nice. I mean I get it due to how short this game is but I tend to enjoy having my progress saved when I beat a level or at least each world, but SML seems pretty generous with checkpoints and the bonus game isnt too hard. On my first run I got to 4-2 and game overd for good. Made several stupid mistakes and having my one year old scream in my ear most of the time didnt help at all. I forget how many of these occasionally imposing looking enemies you can still just squash by jumping on them. Tonight Im hoping to beat this and Ill probably try to do hard mode as well.

On hard mode I got to 4-3 with eight lives and I was ready to say screw it and use save states if I couldnt pull it off, but fortunately that wasnt necessary as I did it with five lives to spare. I have mixed feelings about Super Mario Land but overall I did enjoy playing it and am glad to leave it behind me for now.

wallmasterz 07/24/23 8:16:50 PM #179:	I was able to sneak 20 minutes and play world 1. Never really appreciated Super Mario World fully until playing through the games in release order, but its a beauty. I am still getting used to the movement, particularly Im used to Mario picking up speed a little faster when he runs/needing a little less distance but its not a flaw of the game, just due to me barely having played this one before. Its a lot of fun and Yoshi is a great addition. Having played a lot of Super Mario 64 growing up, I know some people dont care for it nowadays and feel it hasnt aged well, but going from SMW (or Yoshis Island if you prefer) and SML2 to Super Mario 64 is just insane.

I am still getting used to the movement, particularly Im used to Mario picking up speed a little faster when he runs/needing a little less distance but its not a flaw of the game, just due to me barely having played this one before.

Probably once a year complete it entirely. I originally beat it shortly after turning 3 years old on my dad's SNES. He told me it was annoyed his 3 year old was better at it than him. It might also be the game I own the most times? At least beat on most. I have it on SNES, GBA, Wii, 3DS, Wii U, Switch and SNES classic. Could also be another Mario game I suppose. I'm not entirely sure why I prefer it to 3. I think it's the secret exits part, generally prefer how this world is.

Fiop 07/26/23 1:21:49 PM #200:	FWIW, from memory I think the rest of the ghost houses don't require you to bring in a powerup like cape anyway for the secret exit. Most secret exits throughout the game don't require outside-level power up help, although it can make it easier - I guess the first Donut Plains Ghost House is an exception, though I believe you can do loops in that so maybe there's a cape power up there, if you loop enough? And yeah, the only things other than ghost houses with secret exits are red dots, so you should be set as far as knowing which levels have secrets. --- "so is my word...It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it." - Isaiah 55:11 <cite>Fiop posted [p:975077116] in Mario...
