[@Slayerlord13]

Actually, I can think of one use for the pointless level in super mario land 2. Back when I was a child and very bad at the game, I would use that level to farm lives and coins in order to avoid getting to 0 lives. There's probably a better place to do that too but this level felt like a safe place for child me to do so.

[@IceFox09]

There’s Also The Gambling Machine

[@Yegor_Mechanic]

@@IceFox09 it's luck based

[@tylerphillips503]

You can also kill plenty of enemies to get closer to get the star for invincibility

[@Slayerlord13]

@@tylerphillips503 Oh yeah, I think I did that too at least once!

[@thedinobros1218]

Actually, I was always very good at the Mario Land games.

[@PhilipGamez]

Funny story: For 6-Ghost House, I never found the level’s regular exit due to it’s immense mazey nature. I always ended up finding the secret exit instead. It wasn’t until I got a Player’s Guide that I finally found the normal exit and unlocked World 6-2.

[@dummy7358]

Lmao

[@AlexRodriguez-hq6xu]

@Philip Gamez. Yh same. It took me a day to figure out how to get to the normal exit. I always found the "secret" exit first. It's probably one of the more challenging ghost houses in the nsmb series tbh.

[@aaendi6661]

I think Star World is easier to find than World 6 is.

[@Toadette.]

These are pretty accurate I have to say...

[@MrH.09]

yes

[@animalrescueaj8334]

Ya

[@Themasterofkeys.]

No

[@HandlesAreReallyBad]

Eh, I disagree with Bros 3, World, and Galaxy 2. In 3, the first fortress in World 3 was nearly more unbearable than 7-1. In World, the answer is easily Tubular (although I admit, I hate Forest Secret Area a lot more but I feel like that's more of a personal opinion?) Flipsville Galaxy wasn't my favorite but I wouldn't call it awful. Clockwork Ruins was SO much worse. It was so uninteresting and booooorring.

[@Toadette.]

@@HandlesAreReallyBad Ah I see.

[@RenardioMFG]

If you someone doesn't understand why the Pachinkon Machine in Mario Sunshine is really bad, basically, it's really buggy, trying to get the red coins on the left is painful because for some reason, the game will keep pulling you to the right until you reach the middle. This is annoying because it's basically RNG whether you get the coins, or fall to your death

[@AlexRodriguez-hq6xu]

For super Mario land 2. I would say the 1st moon level is the worst because you have to find some obscure hidden blocks to get to the secret exit.

[@VegaPhil]

Sounds like this should be called the most BORING Mario levels rather than the worst

[@Waffletigercat]

No way. SMB3’s worst level is either the world 7 underwater autoscroller, or the level where you have to use Stars to run on deadly Munchers.

[@tomorrowsdoughnut]

world 7 underwater autoscroller without a doubt

[@robertleite6650]

In my most recent playthrough, I was going for 100% but as soon as I got to that level, I immediately gave up

[@WarioWill]

I can at least understand all of these but how is Tubular not the worst level in Super Mario World?

[@blinkowarner3117]

Came here to say that. I HAAAATED that level as a kid. Though I discovered the secret as an adult. You can legit use a blue yoshi to beat it. It's a lot easier than I ever thought. Still the worst in the game though

[@tamerkoh]

@@blinkowarner3117 I've personally never had any issue with it, even on the GBA version, which has less screen resolution and thus less visibility. They give you plenty of time between the P-Balloons running out (power up time) and dodging stuff, so it doesn't feel like you're being rushed, at least to me. You'll pick up the next P-Balloon before the previous one even starts to wear off. Maybe people were just being impatient while dodging and taking unnecessary risk?

[@GoosyGooseMX]

I think the difficulty on that level is kinda overrated. I don't like Mario World and I found out that people say Tubular it's the hardest level, so, when I was 14 more or less, I only played it to unlock tubular. It didn't even take 20 minutes for me to complete it. And at the time I had more skill issues than now. I had more problems to complete some regular levels and the star levels which are along with tubular.

[@Yegor_Mechanic]

4:40 it's a lives farming level. It's very useful!

[@megareavermickeybot7985]

actualy I loved 7-1 in Super Mario Bros3 it felt like a call back to the origanly Mario Bros game where it's just Mario vs Luigi down in the sewers and you can walk off the screen and apear on the other side ^^ I realy miss that mechanic and wish it could be used alot more. and I loved the concept of Mario in some kind of pipe maze too ^^ Actualy...THEY SHOULD MAKE A WHOLE 3D PLATFORMER GAME about a pipe maze~ Like maybe some accidently pulled some lever that causes a whoe bunch of pipes from an ancient pipe system to emerge and wrap around and take over the entire kingdom and releasing a whole bunch of differant new enimies to face at the same time ^^ Now that sounds interest. Super Mario Labynth, The A-Mazing Mario Bros, Super Mario The Empire of Pipes!

[@Mojojojo9001]

I just don’t agree AT ALL with that 3D world one. I actually liked getting the feeling that I can cheese all the multi-mario platforms, if you had to get any stage, pick one of those enemy blockades, or if you only want real levels, pick the dark underwater level from bowser’s world!

[@BlueYoshi]

World C-3 from Lost Levels isn't that bad at all considering some of the other levels

[@GoosyGooseMX]

The problem with the level is programming issues because the spring disappears and the checkpoint takes you to the air when you automatically die. The original level where there's no Lakitu, it's pretty funny.

[@NickDrinksWater]

I loved the forest of illusions level, especially the first one where you can use the star and get tons of lives then quit the level, repeat, unlimited lives. its only annoying for people who never played the game and aren't aware that each of those levels requires a secret exit to move to the next level without going in a loop

[@Dashiell777]

If you use a mega mushroom in 8-1 then the level will be very exciting

[@sirGuy1995]

Disagree with Wet Dry World. I understand the dislike, but I find that its generally less linear/tedious as a lot of other levels in the game, like Dire Dire Docks, Rainbow Ride, and Tocck Tock Clock. The lack of annoying instant death traps also helps it a lot in my book.

[@Gracereza]

The GBC version of SMB's 7-4 improves the level by adding sound effects for when you take the correct and incorrect paths.

[@tamerkoh]

The All-Stars version has those sounds too if I'm not mistaken

[@GoosyGooseMX]

I completed the Lost Levels recently on the GBC version and you're right. Those sounds make a HUGE difference

[@Sly88Frye]

6:40 holy crap that is an incredibly incorrect opinion. How could you possibly say that New Super Mario Bros is the hardest game in the series? Super Mario Bros The Lost levels is the hardest game in the series by far. What are you talking about? Unless you're literally just talking about the new Super Mario Bros series entirely. I'd say even then you're wrong because New Super Luigi U is the hardest of the new Super Mario Bros games

[@AInternetPerson]

8:12 I already heard that joke…

[@Sly88Frye]

2:06 Wait you seriously called those pots pipes? Do those pots look like pipes? Do they warp you two different area besides that magic warp pot that's in the alternate dimension? These are pots you end up inside the pot. I will say though that I agree with you that 6-1 is the worst level because of those damn pots. I mean if you haven't memorized you'll get to the one with the key first but if it's been a long time since you've played at least in my case it was kind of hard to remember which was the exact one

[@beaconoflight6411]

I enjoyed your video and agreed with most of the levels you discussed. Some levels had some weird decisions made on the designs, and some were a bit too difficult. The Pacheco level in Super Mario Sunshine was a nightmare during my childhood. I always got frustrated trying to beat it for many years. Kind of strange that Nintendo just left it with so many glitches, as it just ruins the level's experience. It's funny that you said Wet Dry World in Super Mario 64 was boring because it was my favorite when I was little. I loved the water-raising mechanic and remember constantly activating the water level switches to raise the water as high as possible. I also loved the secret city underneath the level, but reaching the pink bomb-omb to activate the cannon was frustrating, which was the only way to get there.

[@user-fq3jv7pl5k]

Tick tock clock

[@BowserandLover1]

Yeah I would have easily chose Dire Dire Docks over Wet Dry World. Wet Dry World was a water level done right. Dire Dire Docks is a very boring and repetitive stage and none of the stars I really enjoyed getting.

[@JBKiser]

7-1 in SMB3 is probably my favorite level in the game. :(

[@rosenagy7079]

You go to Mario 64 and wet dry world are you serious you’ve got Magic carpet stage tick-tock clock

[@F.G_7even]

Im suprised on how accurate this is. I only strongly disagree with SM64, SMG2 and BF as Wet Dry World Is one of my favourite, if not, my favourite level in SM64 and Flipsville isnt that bad, stone cyclone is much. Bowsers Fury has a stage where all u do is fight 3 ez bosses

[@AlexRodriguez-hq6xu]

I'd say I find slimy spring to be worse imo for galaxy 2. At least stone cyclone is kinda challenging.

[@Sly88Frye]

4:13 I really hope you're being sarcastic because that is a painfully easy to find secret.

[@B0ssguy]

why did this list turn from worst to just most boring levels, there are actual bad levels in those games

[@Warri0rLink]

The actual worst levels are the ones in Mario Maker where you have to find a random hidden block with a key to reach the end.

[@EdKolis]

That's funny, 7-1 is one of my favorite levels in SMB3!

[@BowserandLover1]

I would have replaced Wet Dry World from Super Mario 64 with Dire Dire Docks. I think Wet Dry World is the most interesting water stage in the game, but Dire Dire Docks is the worst. That level is far more boring and I hate how you have to go through that underwater tunnel for pretty much the majority of the stars. It's not fun and is very boring. Not to mention the 100 coin star is one of the worst 100 coin stars in the whole game.

[@PunggolRain]

Yeah, SMB2's World 6-1 is quite annoying. When I was playing it, I was like, "Oh my god, come on! Which one is it?!". And yes, I did entered some twice, or even one TWICE IN A ROW without even noticing! And I was also doing a Do Not Take Damage Challenge and I had to avoid those dragons popping out of the jars! Every time they got me, had to rewind the game!

[@gregericson4868]

Roiling Roller Isle is easily the worst island in Bowser's Fury.

[@DannysDome]

I absolutely mean no offense, I just want to help. In the title for the video, it's "game" not "games" if you want to be gramatically correct.

[@Scott89878]

It sounds like you are bad at memorizing things. All the puzzles you complained about, I solved a kid and to this day, I know how to solve them when I get to those levels again. Also, you say "unfun" a lot, which is subjective.

[@evolutioner8573]

Wow there is a youtuber that I agree everything acsept one finaly! Most youtubers I almost disagree anything but now I somehow agrees everyting acsept sunshine O;

[@theAstarrr]

6:17 main reason for the Pachinko hate, besides the one mistake is a kill, is the garbage controls. They suck in that level for some reason.

[@movinitlikedat45]

I guess we have a difference of opinion, because I consider TUBULAR to be the worst SMW level.

[@DJLucas-xv7oe]

Actually the level what you call the worst in lost levels is not really a bad level it's just hard. Just because it's a hard level doesn't mean it's not fun

[@Dobrehrycz]

In my opinion in mario 64 / mario 64 ds, the worst level is jolly roger bay (the eel is kinda just there and its creepy, and what was the last time it actually attacked someone, the 100 coins star is cancer, i would only come to the level if that was the last level i havent visited)

[@beyondobscure]

I absolutely despise Tall, Tall Mountain

[@sarikamohan2002]

Yeah, browser's fury is a badass cool game but THAT'S boring.

[@nintendolife25]

One thing consistent in all of our personal least favorite Mario levels is that EVERYONE hates the Pachinko level from Sunshine. XD

[@RedRiotLancelot]

Wet Dry World is my favorite level in Super Mario 64.... 😢

[@isamelzorrilla5639]

Hi Nicobbq I love this and I hope you have a good day and you are awesome

[@Sly88Frye]

Yeah I disagree with you about Super Mario Bros. I'll state my opinions about the later parts of the video in a different comment I guess but what I think is bad in the original Super Mario Bros is that there are too many levels that are exactly the same as one another. The only difference is the amount of enemies. But then when you play on the hard mode or as I like to call them the Star World because there's a star before the world number, those levels that are the exact same are literally 100% exactly the same because both versions of it Are the version that has more enemies. 1-3 is literally the same as 5-3. 1-4 is literally the same as 6-4. 2-2 is literally the same as 7-2. 2-3 is literally the same as 7-3. 2-4 is literally the same as 5-4. Absolutely unacceptable! Nintendo proved a year later with the lost levels that they could make every level of the game completely different although then they for some reason got lazy with c-3 and c-4 being exactly the same as 7-3 and 7-4 though.

[@samgreen6493]

Thought you were gonna say Tubular for Super Mario World

[@Sly88Frye]

5:34 Oh I strongly disagree with you on Super Mario 64. I disagree with you on Super Mario Bros 3 but to be honest there's not that much I would like to add on that. I fully agree with you on Super Mario Land 2, but I strongly disagree with you on Super Mario 64. I like wet dry world because I like the strategy and puzzle solving of raising and lowering the water levels and I like how depending on how high or low on the portrait you jump into it will determine what water level it starts at which is actually pretty cool. It's like the clock level where depending on where the minute and hour hands lie determines how quick or slow everything at the level moves or if it doesn't move at all. Honestly I can say with full confidence that the worst level is rainbow cruise. It's slow and dull. Now don't get me wrong there are some fun parts about the level it's not like a particularly bad level it's just long and tedious because you're always waiting forever and ever for the damn extremely slow carpet ride over the rainbow

[@casual_artist1]

I think mount magmeow is the coolest looking level in bowsers fury, but it’s very slow paced and boring

[@2bitbyte]

idk, I feel like Rainbow Ride might be worse than Wet-Dry World. All the waiting on magic carpets... I didn't even feel like playing it last time I went through Mario 64...

[@sirGuy1995]

Agreed. Plus the fact that any mistake is instant death is pretty annoying too.

[@matthiascerebri3315]

Is Bowsers Fury the same thing as New Super Mario Bros World? And what about Mario Dream?

[@sebastianlaquerre2334]

I disagree for Mario Galaxy. The trash disposal levels have a specific place in hell just for them, nothing gets close to it.

[@noahs5847]

As someone who is almost done with a Galaxy replay, you are correct. Those bombs have to be thrown almost perfectly and I hate it so much

[@awesomenatora]

[@mothwingthemedicinecat]

My least favorite Mario level of all time is Cosmic Cannon Cluster in 3d world. (i havent played that many mario games to be fair) but that level made me stop playing it on the wii u, and even on the switch i had trouble. its so frustrating for no reason, the other levels in the game haven't been that bad for me till then.

[@keremgunes2893]

Corona mountain:

[@Damdaaa]

tubular is definitely the worst level in smw

[@arkadyshersky8704]

Worst level in 64 is Lethal Lava Land. A bunch of random stuff strewn around a completely flat area and a stupid little mini-golf "volcano" instead of a real mountain like EVERY OTHER LEVEL IN THE GAME has. It's better inside the volcano but still weak. Shell surfing isn't enough to save it outside. I get the strong sense that they just threw it together at the last minute.

I personally disagree with Galaxy 1 and Galaxy 2, though I can agree with Snowcap Galaxy being one of the more mediocre levels in 1. For me, my least favorite in Galaxy 1 is easily Dreadnought's Purple Coins or the Star Ball level in Melty Molten Galaxy. Galaxy 2 was significantly harder cause that game has some genuinely amazing stages, but I would Stone Cyclone Galaxy is my least favorite for it being a rehash of Beach Bowl Galaxy's Fast Foe Comet, just with Silver Stars.

[@egon3705]

you didn't even mention the biggest problems with C-3: - its checkpoint is above a pit - after its checkpoint is a mandatory spring that can be prevented from loading if lakitu throws too many spinies also the forest ghost house's secret exit is completely useless also my vote for the worst SML2 level is the one with tatanga, the star maze is annoying and the space pufferfish are way too unpredictable and the worst SM64 level is rainbow ride, it's just a bunch of random bullshit in the sky with absurd amounts of waiting. the heave-hos are actually really fun, you don't take damage if you get to a higher tier of the level

[@jaygooese4242]

I don't like that level either 2:00

[@Astrovite]

I'm playing through 3D World for the first time and this level "Grumblump Inferno" is ridiculous. I guess it's technically world 9-7 but idk what the "secret" Bowser world is called. I really wish the world with the Dragon fight in M.O. was a full world. It looked so good. 2:50 I've never played any of the Mario Land games but I made a level just like that in Mario Maker 2 using Lemmy to put bouncy balls on spikes.

[@dementedvillian]

For SMB Lost Levels, I’m surprised you didn’t mention the glitch where the spring can just not appear if there’s too many sprites on screen (not helped by Lakitu throwing spinies out), or the checkpoint that places you directly over a chasm.
