[@Pwilliams4000]

I swear the devil himself designed tick tock clock

[@eduardocastillo2237]

The mario game as more hardest levels is super mario bros 2 japan aka lost levels

[@Soviet_comrade.]

Super Mario 3d world last 2 level star road and were you have to get the green stars

[@LP_Animates_]

Yup, I managed to complete galaxy 2’s perfect run

[@JustinGrant-jf5gv]

I don't think I found Luigi's Purple Coins THAT challenging, I guess it's not so bad once you got a path down. But I do agree that Pachinko and Champion's Road are very challenging along with A Long Journey's End. Fun Fact: As I recall, I beat Champion's Road with Rosalina on my FIRST TRY, her spin jump was certainly helpful.

[@billny33]

6:31 I love the utter disdain and exasperation in the narrator's voice when he says Pachinko.

[@JCBro-yg8vd]

Rainbow Ride is unquestionably harder than Tick Tock Clock. Most of Tick Tock Clock's stars can be easily obtained if you stop the clock so that nothing is moving. And even for the ones requiring movement, just stop the clock so that everything moves slowly. Rainbow Ride is really spread out, every star is a challenge.

[@ericb3157]

yes, BUT getting coins when it's moving fast, or worse, moving at RANDOM, would be harder than Rainbow Ride.

[@caltoonfangirl7109]

Yeah. I got Rainbow Ride’s 100 coin start after 1 or 2 tries, but it took a gazillion tries and a lot of deaths to get the 100 coin star for Tick Tock Clock.

[@PreciousLuna1988]

Exactly even as a kid I thought tic toc clock was easy

[@krististarosta6736]

Champions Road and Long Journey’s End were definitely hard for me to complete! I mean you have to complete the level in one go without taking any damage or have a single checkpoint to save you.

[@Alwaysthursday28]

Yeah it took me hours to beat long journeys end without damage

[@Droobie03]

Long Journey's End felt a lot more easier than Champions road.

[@gavinisback]

Champions Road was hard enough with Peach, I can’t imagine how hard it is to play with the other characters. 😐

[@IconicEnemy]

That’s the perfect run

[@Spectrolm60]

You’re just bad lol (Bear with me, im joking)

[@greenisgood23]

The Pachinko machine will obviously be harder if you have the rocket nozzle. Still, it’s a pain in the neck to deal with, even with the hover nozzle.

[@teamboobooseth1]

My thoughts exactly. Like it’s a hard level normally, but using the rocket nozzle????

[@TobyNo1Awesomeness]

I remember beating the perfect run for the first time, my whole family was watching me. After countless deaths and game overs, there was one time where my whole family saw me beat it. My palms were sweating like crazy, but beating it made me feel like a god, with my family all being proud of me. My sister then asked if I saved. Thank god the game had autosave. Otherwise, I'd have panicked a lot

[@chrisblair9272]

The perfect run is the only time I’ve stood up and jumped up and down with glee from beating a level in a video game.

[@DragonKazooie89]

I love Tick Tock Clock; challenging but fun. The music also helps the level.

[@12thMandalorian]

That music is flawless

[@joaomarceloperdigao5386]

difficulty curve from mario 3D world is absolutely crazy from the normal to the bonus levels

[@Howitchewstofeel5gum]

The important thing to know about the Pachinko level is to either press hard left, hard right, or leave the stick completely neutral all the way when you're getting launched. If you do this, you are guaranteed to land on a pin every time and from there you can hover over to where you need to go.

[@enderethan144]

World 9-7 in Super Mario Bros Wii is when Wii remotes went flying into the walls and being obliterated 😆. Thank god I never played because I could never be bothered to collect all of the star coins. Also that Pachinko level in Super Mario Sunshine was an absolute pain in the arse for me, I just remember raging a lot.

[@brendanreilly4675]

If anything I thought the lily pad level of super Mario sunshine was a lot harder, of course everyone has their opinions, but keep in mind. When trying to access the lily pad level you have that super long and monotonous trip over each time you get a game over

[@nathangoodwin9935]

I personally think the red coin lily pad level in Sunshine is harder. Even getting to the level is time consuming. I farmed 1-Ups so I didn’t game over there lol

[@KupoCola]

"Pacheco - Super Mario Sunshine" *Flashback to Arin from Game Grumps losing his mind*

[@djlamar2]

When you pointed out luigis purple coins from galaxy I was saying "You'd better not forget the bane of my existence grandmaster galaxy perfect run"

[@zakirstocks9514]

*World 8-7* from New Super Mario Bros., *Tick Tock Clock* from Super Mario 64, *Champion's Road* from Super Mario 3D World and *Long Journey's End* from Super Mario Odyssey are all one of THE Most Hardest Super Mario Levels There Is.

[@jessejohnston255]

The red coins where you have to ride on the leaf over top of poison water in Super Mario Sunshine is difficult as well!

[@Genzaijh]

I absolutely love Galexy 2's perfect run. That was an incredibly fun level. That's why I wish Nintendo would make Galexy 3 with tidbits of odessey open world. And make many more perfect run type levels. But I don't care for the star bit collection, nor do I like the shake mechanic because it's really easy to shake the controller by accident. Mapped button for all the shake controls would be much better, for a more controlled experience.

[@nintendolife25]

Long Journey’s End and The Perfect Run is definitely challenging due to the lack of checkpoints and the fact you can’t take a single hit in the latter. Man, I wish I had most of those lives when beating the level.

[@jaivynjoseph4287]

The special 8-Crown from 3D land should be on this list

[@Anthonyvideogame]

Lily pad ride in Sunshine was absolute hell.

[@zachdamenti4387]

Champion’s Road from Super Mario 3D World is THE hardest level to complete especially because it has the most amount of difficult obstacles to conquer without checkpoints!

[@chrisblair9272]

I could never get past the piranha plants without cheesing it. 😭

[@flickering_wick]

Champion's Road, The Perfect Run, and 9-7 NSMBW are by far the most memorably challenging levels for me. Took me many tries to get right. People say Darker Side of the Moon was hard, but I beat it in just a few tries and hardly remember it.

[@paulbuffano985]

I’ve never played the “impossible pack” levels, but it looks like they drew some inspiration from the saws and brutal difficulty of super meat boy! Pretty cool to see it come full circle.

[@nickp6498]

I just beat SMB1 and 8-3 was by far the hardest SMB3 it’s the Airship level in World 8. Absolutely insane. There’s other levels in World 8 that can compete for this spot too.

[@iamthew0lf]

Yes! Exactly! Came here to say this. Another one that killed me as a kid but easier now is SMB3 5-6. The auto scrolling level jumping on the backs of the Parabeetles.

[@samlemineur]

You're right. The perfect run is by far the hardest one. It took me 8 years and countless attempts to eventually beat it. The last section with the hammer and the boomerang Bros is a real pain in the ass. I always died there. In comparison, Champions Road and Long Journey's End took me only a few days to beat.

[@madringking1119]

With Long Journeys End, All you have to do is once you capture the Glydon when you start flying towards one of the jet streams that shoot you up in the air you have to shake your joycon at the same time to get an extra lift. And you especially need to get that on the last one so that you can medicate maneuver around wall to get to the end

[@paulbuffano985]

Dang that voice crack at 6:45 is a good one! Stays in theme with us fellow gamer nerds lol. I’m in my early 30’s and every now and then will notice myself do it too haha

[@sxehero1376]

I completed Long Journey's End just last week. It only took me two days & on the second day, just over an hour. I was lucky because I was one more attempt from giving up for the day. I'm very fortunate I didn't.

[@superstar7playes303]

I get the impression that Impossible Pack is Harder than Perfect Run

[@nathanielmathews2617]

Ah perfect run was an excellent challenge, definitely one of the most fun mario experiences I've had

[@WhiteFangofWar]

'Tubular' and 'Hit That Switch!' from Super Mario World 1 & 2 respectively. They are somewhat similar in that they require you to move through an obstacle course without wasting a single second, with no shortcuts to get around them, not even Blue Flying Yoshi. Of course we also now have 82715 Mario Maker levels that make all of these look like a Sunday stroll.

[@rogelpinguz3743]

The footage for The Perfect Run was way too good for a normal player. I knew it had to be a speed runner. Beat it yesterday, and man was it a challenge

[@fbgduval]

Haven’t played many of the extra levels in traditional Mario games but I’ve played Sunshine and oh boy, the levels without the fludd are insane. I have no idea how kids were meant to beat the game without any guides for the majority of the game.

[@wadeyhyena1657]

I cannot watch the Pachinko Level the same way without hearing Arin's rage ringing in my ears. Lol

[@Mikey-1990]

Lmao I was just thinking that. The Pachinko level is absolutely infuriating.

[@martinm6851]

I thought you had to beat Champion’s Road with every character to get the true ending. So that’s what I did. It took me two weeks playing multiple hours a day. I was shocked when I completed it and got absolutely nothing at the end. It was worth it though. Those were good times.

[@ericb3157]

if i remember, there are FOUR possible "settings" for "tick tock clock": slow, fast, stopped, and RANDOM. getting the red coins is almost impossible for any setting but "stopped", but that makes many others completely impossible, because you need to ride on the moving parts to reach them. "random" is THE WORST.

[@Falchion1984]

I myself 100%-ed both Sunshine and Odyssey. And, I swear, I came away with several gastric ulcers from each game!

[@mercenarymaster6937]

0:04: This is why I always use the Hover Nozzle.

[@GIRLS_vs_MUGEN]

I think the old Super Mario from 1990 from the most hard EVER I still remember when i was 4 years old i had my first Super Mario for a console called SUPER POLYSTATION 2 Was really awesome

[@natejoe9924]

Champions world was very hard for me it took me a year to get through that with non-stop practicing in Mario 3D world

[@JZJ7777]

I hate the Darkest Side of the Moon. I’ve come so close to finishing it so many times, but never have. It drives me nuts!

[@paytonsparrow4035]

For long journeys end, I used my Amibo Mario figure as a superstar and easy mode on Super Mario Oddessy.

[@jamiewalsh3349]

The Sandbird mission from Super Mario Sunshine was massive pain. Forget the Pachinko game this was the worst!

[@KingBloomZ]

You Guys Should Have Put Tibular From Super Mario World Along With The Watermelon Stage & Corona Island From Super Mario Sunshine

[@justinthyme5263]

I love how the pachinko machine is the only one which you didn’t beat

[@samyb4566]

The Grandmaster galaxy the perfect run is the last obstacle left for me to overcome to complete Galaxy 2 at 100%. I'm going to do it in mid-March because I have free time and I'm not going to stop until I obtain this last Power Star.

[@BigGuyZee]

Good Luck! If it helps I was only able to complete The Perfect Run as Luigi. 😅

[@samyb4566]

@@BigGuyZee It's difficult as Mario?

[@BigGuyZee]

@@samyb4566 It's been a while since I done it, but Mario was tough for me , yeah. I needed that extra jump power from Luigi I think.

[@samyb4566]

@@BigGuyZee In this case, I think a warm-up is required. On March 11, I'm going to play the level of Grandmaster galaxy normally as Mario, then as Luigi. This will help me determine the character I'm going to use to complete the Perfect Run. If I lost less lives as Mario, then this will be the character I'm going to use in order to complete this level. If I didn't lose a lot of lives as Luigi, then it's going to be him.

[@BigGuyZee]

@@samyb4566 Sounds like a plan. You got this!!

[@northlandwiffle]

I think you could just make a Super Mario Sunshine long play video with the same title and it’d still be valid

[@ecliptorcalrissian5014]

I didn't know it got worse than Tubular. I'm still surprised that one wasn't on the list.

[@spunkyfidget70]

Mojo: who beat Grandmaster Galaxy? *puts my hand up* Mojo: now who beat Grandmaster Galaxy - The Perfect Run? *keeps my hand up*

[@LP_Animates_]

“Luigi’s Purple Coins”, it’s actually easy if you collect the coins lined in a row or just close to each other, I managed to do it on my 2nd try

[@maddestmike5791]

*sees what level they open up with* I can hear Arin Hanson's screams all over again.

[@perryluzier287]

I think that the lilypad level in sunshine should have been included. I have been trying for over a year and still can’t beat it. I also think that luigi purple coins or 8-7 on the ds wasn’t that hard when compared to the final levels in odyssey, galaxy 2 and 3d world. I spent so much time beating those, especially the perfect run and long journeys end. Also, I think that the crown level from 3d land also deserves to be on this list.

[@Hexzer3]

Just Recently finished champions road after a 3 month diligent gaming routine

[@yrrr4871]

The Pachinko machine is easier when your using the hover nozzel

[@maksymiliankisielewski344]

Out of all these levels found champions road to be the most difficult. After like 300 deaths made with peach

[@bcmxfede]

Wing Mario over the rainbows from Super Mario 64 imo one of the hardest levels to complete.

[@nicholasharvey1232]

I remember when I beat The Perfect Run back in 2010. I had to turn off the sound so I could focus better.

[@darkbegin]

Some levels in Super Mario Land 2 were so hard as hell, i think there's not enough research in this video

[@leighdappa]

SML2was FAR TOO EASY!

[@ZeldaEastWest]

Champion’s Road took myself and three friends about 5,000 deaths to beat.

[@behindtheheart6512]

Tubular, world 9-7, crown-crown (3D land) and many others i’m probably missing have left the chat

[@MatNaito]

The placement of Champion's Road makes it clear that you didn't play it. Pachinko is hard, but the lilly pad level is MUCH worse. I must agree, though, with Grandmaster Galaxy being the hardest. I didn't even beat the daredevil one, I just quit. I will try again if Nintendo releases Galaxy 2 for the Switch (as they should have done already).

[@dragooncroft]

Champions road was one of the hardest things I've beaten in a videogame for some reason.

[@samuelmartinez3492]

I beat 4 out 10 if the hardest levels, last one was Mario Odyssey this past friday on Mario day and it took me like 3 hours but it felt so good to beat the game and 900 power moons. Oh, and also on Mario 3D world i spent 741 lives only on champions road, the rest of the game I use like 5 lives at most

[@drphilly8099]

The worst part is mnon of these hold a candle against the nightmares of Mario Maker

[@xannymanny9754]

Wendy’s castle from super Mario world will always be the hardest for me. That level took me weeks

[@melplays90]

Pachinko level can eat s--t LOL ripped my hair out playing that hellscape

[@toadplayssupermario]

The last level from the Special Zone in SMW is way too hard. 3 Chargin Chuck, each throwing an amount of baseballs at you.

[@christ4205]

Champions road is way harder than luigis purple coins and long journeys end

[@Lindsayisanosyhooch]

Wish 3D world was that difficult all the way through. Ugg i yearn for a Mario game like that

[@Shaprite]

I beat the Perfect Run in Grand Master Galaxy. That was something else.

[@erainmartinez8175]

This stage is harder to me 2:40

[@violetpirate7763]

Long journey end was much easier for me than the 8bit level in mushroom kingdom. It was like living hell

[@marveldude6917]

The pachinko level is frustrating but with pure concentration on navigating mario with the hover nozzle should get you to all 8 red coins but the hardest level in super mario sunshine for me has got to be the secret level where you're collecting red coins while riding a dying lillypad on acid water

[@chrisblair9272]

Both of those levels I despise and once I beat them I said never again. I don’t think should count in a list like this. They’re only difficult because of poor game design.

The jump rope challenge. Took me 3 days.

[@dergrossekaiser]

somehow i never had real difficulties with the pachinco level. it was more a bit frustrating to wait for mario to get down again when you enter the wrong pipe. there were other levels that frustrated me in sunshine, like the blooper race, where you have to take the blooper which is so fast, that you don't get the courves (and might kill you).
