I always despised Mario 3 for some reason. I think I just wasn't into the aesthetic and it was too hard for younger me. Still some annoying, cheap gimmicks, but this version (I played on Switch), different or not, felt much more fun. Minus Pipe World, f that noise.

After dropping Mario 35 I was still in the mood for some classic Mario, and figured why not play through All-Stars on the Swatch. I've played through 1, 2, and 3 NES versions before, but had never played their SNES counterparts. I also decided to force myself through Lost Levels. (Yeah, I abused rewind for parts of that one, lol.) …

I've played through 1, 2, and 3 NES versions before, but had never played their SNES counterparts. I also decided to force myself through Lost Levels. (Yeah, I abused rewind for parts of that one, lol.)
First of all, I really dig the look of these games with their SNES-level graphics. I might like how they look even more than Super Mario World tbh. (With one exception -- the water levels in 3 were really friggin' dark for some reason???) Anyways here's my updated thoughts on the classic Marios.
- Mario 1 -- 3/5 -- it's fine. Think it took me like 1 hour to breeze through all the stages.
- Mario's Lost Levels -- 2/5 -- Nintendo of America was really smart to not bring this one over lol.
- Mario 2 -- 4/5 -- I was surprised how much fun I had here. I wish we could get another game with the whole "throwing turnips" gameplay... but that'll never happen, which is a damn shame! Also Mouser is the best Mario character to never come back in anything ever.
- Mario 3 -- 3/5 -- it's fine. Gotta be honest, I tend to get bored in Mario 3 after playing through a world's stages. What can I say, it's good and all, but the 3 I'd just rather be playing is Sonic 3! =P

I haven't played this in years, but after about 20 minutes muscle memory must have kicked in.

After beating Super Mario World for the first time, I realized it might have been presumptuous to call it the finest 2-D Mario until I actually beat Super Mario Bros. 3.

After beating Super Mario World for the first time, I realized it might have been presumptuous to call it the finest 2-D Mario until I actually beat Super Mario Bros. 3. I procured an All-Stars cart in the same set, and figured that would be a good way to experience it. Unlike SMW, I have many fond memories of playing SMB3 on NES as a kid, but I'm sure I came nowhere close to beating it (I'm still not great at video games, but it's amazing I even stuck with them as a child because I was awful at them then).
I was enjoying playing through until, just today, my Retron 5 stopped recognizing when SNES carts are inserted. (ಥ﹏ಥ)
(Quick aside: Pretty much everything good and bad you read about that system is true. I'll leave it at that.)
So in lieu of finishing the game, I thought I'd give an update summarizing my two main takeaways so far.
Takeaway 1: This game is great. It's really innovative (honestly kind of amazing how much DNA it shares in terms of design with SMW), super creative (those power-ups!) and it feels really big... honestly, its scope feels larger than Super Mario World to me.
Takeaway 2: This game is much more cruel than I remember it being. Some of the later levels have secrets that actually make the level more difficult for you. Some require a specific power-up in a way that seems closer to Lost Levels. If you recognize the above screenshot, then you'll know which level made me ragequit (before adopting an unnatural finger-placement to finally beat the darn thing).
All in all, I'm enjoying it a lot.
Or at least, I was... ಠ╭╮ಠ
