This is my informative and critical review show where I talk about video games, especially platformers, kart racers, adventure games, etc., or any other content that I feel like creating.
Man this is golden. I've watched this on repeat while playing through the game. Slowly getting more and more knowledge about the game and getting better at it as I went along. The game surely is frustrating, but I had fun with it in the end. It's been a goal of mine to complete this game for a long time and finally stuck to it. And you're the only one I've found that actually goes a bit into gameplay and control mechanics on a level where I could use it in actual gameplay. I know that's not the main goal of this, but I guess it's a nice side effect of sorts :P
You definitely can track what levels have secret exits and which ones you’ve gotten in the snes version. Other than the ghost houses, every level which has a secret exit has a red dot. On top of that, every level with a secret exit only has 1; this means that you’ve got every exit if the level with a red dot has another level coming out of it. Well there is one exception… that one part in the forest of illusion where there is a secret exit that crosses over another secret exit path. But yeah it sounds convoluted but it’s honestly very easy to understand once you’ve noticed it. There are only a few exceptions to this rule, and they’re too few to ruin it imo (the forest of illusion section and the ghost houses like I said).
My favorite is the All Stars version of 3. I liked the visual upgrade, but the ability to save your game and go back to previous worlds seals the deal.
I played The Lost Levels VIA All-Stars and I knew it was gonna be hard as a kid. And I seen the Famicon version when I learned about the Doki-Doki Panic story in early 2015. And I now only play the All-Stars version because I wanna play as Luigi and I don't wanna play as a Green Mario.
I was a kid Born in the 2000s and this was my very first game I played as a kid and I think playing Nintendo games exclusively actually made me more of a black sheep when I went into school because the kids were getting into overly violent gun games (I dont know what the kids were into in 2009). But I think Super Mario Bros. 3 is a far better Mario game than Super Mario World (which I also played VIA Super Mario All-Stars).
When people ask what my favoeite SNES Game is, its Super Mario All Stars PLUS World. Luigi also looks updated in the world in this version to match his aooearance in 2 onward.
It's ridiculous to me that the makers of the first Mario game decided that the game's difficulty needed to be cranked up to "Bullshit". I'm glad we ended up with the Mario Brothers 2 that we got otherwise Mario Brothers 3 would have probably been ignored.
48:35 Supposedly, according to Chris Pratt when talking about being cast as Mario for illumination’s Super Mario Bros. Movie, when he thought about what was the first Mario game he ever played, he specifically was referring to VS Super Mario Bros. Arcade as his first Mario game.
The reskinned Japanese game was called Yume Kogo (Dream Factory). Doki doki panic was a subtitle that roughly translates to "heart pounding panic", used to indicate that the game was exciting for the consumer. That subtitle was used in many Japanese games at the time. Yume Kogo also started out as a sequel to the original Super Mario bros. game
Thank you, god! I’m so freaking glad that I didn’t play this game of the Super Monkey Ball series because in my opinion it’s the WORST game of the entire series overall and for many reasons! I’m not going to play this game anytime soon in the future! Another awesome review once again! Keep up the good work, Pixel Powerstar! I’m only going to do a Let’s Play with Super Monkey Ball Adventure for only the Party Mode and Challenge Mode but not the Story Mode after put in the cheat code and unlock everything from the get go!
I’m definitely going to be doing a Let’s Play on this interesting game of the Super Monkey Ball series on the mGBA Emulator! And I’ve got a strong feeling it’s going to be one of my favorite games of the series despite being less powerful than its console counterpart but still a super fun, pretty good and solid game overall in my book due to its flaws and problems in the end!
This game was so awesome in the 80's coming from Atari games to Nintendo it was amazing. I was like10 when i played Mario for the first time and I was blown away. My family was not close at all and when we got the Nintendo and played mario we were all engaged and just playing together as a family. Some of my favorite childhood memories was playing the first Mario.
My first mario game ever was Mario Land for my Game Boy. Honestly, Super Mario Bros 3 is my favorite Mario game ever and I think it's basically peak Mario, but both Land and Land 2 are among my favorite games and I think do a lot of things right. Both of them have worlds that have a lot of personality, both introduce unique enemies and mechanics to each world and nothing overstays its welcome. Ofc the limitations of the Game Boy degrades the experience a bit, but I think both are still a lot of fun and Land 2 in particular could be among the best Mario games ever if it was done on the Mario World engine and had a couple extra levels - so much so that I plan to program that myself.
Greatest thing about Super Mario Brothers NES was.......THE CHALLENGE! We kids wanted the challenge, and we got it. I am uncertain now why it is upsetting, or not fun. The ease of modern games, even in my fav series like Mario, Final Fantasy, and Zelda......they are far easier to go through than in the day. It would be nice to have the difficulty back, without having to have to select it in hard mode. (Mostly unlocked AFTER a completed game) That being said, the reviews you give for the Mario games are really amazing. The analysis is definitely as close to spot on as possibly can. Love listening to the videos.
Wow. An unbiased, fair review of the original Super Mario Bros 2. Never thought I'd see the day. What a pleasant surprise. I actually really like the sequel. First played it on All Stars in the mid-90s. It was my 2nd favourite on All Stars. But I've since played it on the NES as a reproduction from the Famicom Disc. Its great. Combines my nostalgia for the original Super Mario Bros and my love for challenge.
Oh thank goodness. When I played the arcade version, I was so confused about what on Earth I was experiencing. I had the SNES version as a kid and had become quite good at it, so my sudden knee-capping and ineptitude was confusing. Glad to understand what was really going on. Kneecapping warp pipes and mixing in The Lost Levels...sheesh.
A few years back when I first played Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels for my Game & Watch, the one that was released in 2020, I remember making it to the world 6 and dying. Not sure if I had any good time with this game nor if I ever plan to play this game again, but due to the similarity of the graphics, whenever I play the first Super Mario Bros. game, I pretty much pretend playing the Lost Levels.
This wasn’t not released because of it’s difficultly. It was solely because of how similar it was to the first. Plenty of more difficult games were released here and some were made more difficult than the Japanese original.
I don't think you understand just how much more difficult Lost Levels actually is. I'd go as far as calling it the world's first Kaizo romhack. They SERIOUSLY toned down the difficulty in the Mario All Stars version and even that is still a giant monster of a challenge.
The whole parenthesis around maybe is all up to interpretation. Although I originally thought the same thing that you did where they’re trying to make the fact that Mario is the good guy ambiguous, in reality they’re saying maybe as in maybe you can help Mario become the hero if you finish the game.
