Quizzes are fun. They are "easy" because you have the Mario universe knowledge, which will taken in account and not ask questions from another universe.

So you hate when they have no stories, but you hate cut screens.

[@tzarg]

I wouldn't not want cutscenes, I just would like to be able to skip them

[@LightspeedAdventurer]

Dude I *_hate_* the boss cutscenes in Galaxy to _death._ Like, I'm doing a daredevil comet run and I die and have to watch the whole 10-second cutscene again. And the boss isn't even fun. It just feels like torture

[@lasercraft32]

I would rather the 100% completion rewards be just a postcard or "you did it" message, because otherwise you would be FORCED to complete every tedious mission just to access whatever cool feature they give you. Its the very same reason why there is no real reward for getting every Korok in Botw... Because getting all of them would SUCK, so they intentionally make the reward lackluster so that players don't feel obligated to do it. 100% completion should be optional.

[@tzarg]

it is though, I've played NSMBW and NSMBU, but mostly NSMBW. usually, when I played it with my siblings, we'd just stop at World 9

[@gogmagaming33]

I agree. An example of that done wrong is the End of Pain keyblade in Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. By the time you get that, you’ve already done basically everything the game has to offer so what’s the point of using it?

[@ShaneLawrence-x5r]

Unless the game is like majora's mask- then completing it should be very rewarding as completing the game is required anyway

[@alan-tairov]

another example is mario kart 8 deluxe, cuz when you 100% it fully, (beat all base game 200cc staff ghosts, get 5000 coins, beat all base game tracks on 200cc, get first on every 200cc grand prix) you get the gold setup (gold mario, gold kart, gold wheels and gold glider)

@InfiniteBits, when I was watching video, when number 15 appeared, I've unlocked a memory: A few years ago, me and my older brother were playing Super Mario Galaxy 2 and my brother was Mario while I was the Luma. We had done lot of progress when we played the game different times before but then... Rightside Down Galaxy's second mission: The Great Crate Incinerator.

funny how few of these things just seem like this dude doesn't have enough things to hate, like White Tanooki Suit... "its so annoying that Nintendo gives every single player chance to beat the game no matter how bad you are"... I mean like I barely hate stuff about Mario games, some are annoying... like autoscrollers are annoying but I like slow platforms... and dark levels are hard to navigate but I have never thought that I hate them... I think these are more like annoying things than hated cause hating sounds little too much... Idk... great video

[@timmyb.3426]

I really don't understand why Nintendo always thinks it's fun to have to get your hat back... I've ALWAYS despised it. Yet like, every 3D Mario game has it in some way for some reason.

[@KeishaRobinson-ry1ym]

Regarding the #65 entry, I think it's amusing when you either die to a fire piranha or within the sight range of a fire piranha in Super Mario Bros. 3, especially if you were still in the air when you slipped up. I just think it's funny to see the fire piranha's head move accordingly as it watches you die.

[@louisgiasson-vanasse2350]

also in mario galaxy when you have 150/150 star fragment to give to luna and you miss one and need to go all the way back to a level

[@torterratortellini6641]

13:17 I honestly think this works better in the Galaxy games because the missions are more linear than they are in Super Mario 64 and Sunshine.

[@Minepro616]

THANK GOD MARIO WONDER FIXED THE TIMER

[@denischen8196]

I have always hated the classic 2D Mario powerup system because if you lose your powerup, you are missing out on the fun because all you can do is run and jump and by the time you find another powerup, half the level is already behind you. I also hated when you always start the level as small Mario after dying because you either have to play very carefully through half or even the entire level without special powers or just replay 1-1 to get a powerup. Super Mario Bros Wonder's badge system solves most of this problem, and the 3 health system of 3D Mario games allows you to use all your abilities regardless of how much health you have.

[@finleybaynham]

The amount of times the game has paused from someone else dying, messed up my jump and I've died is actually ridiculous

[@the1-upclub98]

On paper lame completion rewards sound bad, but remember that Mario 64 gave you 100 lives when you've already completed everything, rendering those lives worthless unless you just wanna mess around.

[@jasonnathanmason3547]

6:01 I kind of like motion controls, but they are the WORST when playing handheld mode because you can barely see the shaking screen

[@Nathan11107]

14:17 This nearly happened to me last week when I was playing as Luigi. One of the bug enemies managed to hit me, knocking me straight to what I thought was my doom, but HOO BOY did I get hit with a miracle. I was somehow hit directly above the starting platform, and I landed on it rather than falling in the black hole. Long story short, the L on Luigi's cap stands for 'Lucky' and no one can convince me otherwise.

[@jeremiahnissley106]

you should do 100 things players enjoy that would be a nice change

[@EmissaryCreates]

19:46 relatable.. Nintendo just hates flying, doesn’t it? They did this to kid icarus too. Teasing us with greatness before throwing it away.

[@meniazouni7244]

What I mostly hate about Mario games is not included in this list. It is from almost all new super mario bros games and it is that sometimes when you are about to get to the next level a random enemy comes out of nowhere and if he catches you you will need to play a bonus challenge where you have to kill multiple of them depending on what enemy it is.

[@BestEditorever-z1l]

I agree with that one

[@brosroadgaming3023]

Also to be honest, i kinda like the rolling ball missions. Well some of them, like the one in melty molten galaxy

[@hourglass8090]

This is probably a nitpicky complaint but in both Galaxy games I want to be able to wall jump after a long jump. Also I want the flip jump or whatever it is in Galaxy where you run 1 way then quickly swap directions and jump. I want that in the 2d games, as well as long jumping. I'm not sure how useful those would be, but it'd add more options.

Admittedly the timer is annoying but its been a thing since the first ever Mario games so it's kinda hard to complain about it

[@DubLonia]

93 should actually make sense because Yoshis mostly don't technically get hurt, unless it's an instant death obstacle or you boot up Mario 64 ds, Yoshi's story, wooly or crafted worlds. And getting hit in Yoshi's island results in losing baby Mario and having to get it back, which yes, it is an HP system, but that implies yoshi can get hit anytime until baby Mario is caught when the counter reaches 0.

Losing the power-ups immediatly is much worse if you already had the power-up and grabbed it again because yes

[@tzarg]

oh yeah, hate when I do that, then it's like "why did I do that?". Satisfying when you can instantly get it back though

[@lasercraft32]

I hate that coins serve basically no purpose. I don't care about my "score" and I don't know anyone in the modern day who actually does (outside of "minimum score challenges" of course). In Odyssey it was GREAT because coins could be used to buy outfits, but in every other Mario game they're basically worthless.

[@tzarg]

well, they give you lives, and basically cause you to hit the upper limit instantly (99 lives), so I think that's pretty useful but yeah the score actually serves 0 purpose, like it literally doesn't do anything it's just there

[@lasercraft32]

@@tzarg 1-Ups are an outdated system that just doesn't really add anything to the game (getting a game over doesn't even mean much when it just boots you out of the level, and then gives you 5 lives to use afterwards). And for more skilled players lives are barely even much of a reward because they don't need them. Best case scenario, you literally just look up an infinite 1-up trick (which every game has at least one, usually more) to grind some if you get low. Worst case scenario, you just lose the checkpoint of the level you were playing and go back into the level as if nothing happened. So basically this is a long winded way of saying, yes, coins are still useless.
