The Toughest Platforming in Every Mario Game

Hey guys welcome to a very long but very fun video where I go over the toughtest platforming sections from each and every single Super Mario Bros game, going through exactly why I chose each moment and how to complete them. If you enjoy my content plz plz plz leave a like and subscribe! Love you all!

[@TrimutiusToo]

Not even mentioning 6-3 for SMB1? That one has such tough platforming that it killed the most people on Mario 35

[@jeroanttonen3317]

I wouldn’t say 6-3 is hard. Imo world 8 has hardest stages but overall the game is pretty easy.

[@chispablo]

World 8 is harder, but 6-3 is the hardest PLATFORMING stage. Which is the theme of the video. Actually, 8-3 is one of the easiest platforming in the later stages, there are not many jumps

[@JJ_TheGreat]

C-3 in Lost Levels is 10x harder!

[@TrimutiusToo]

@@JJ_TheGreat yes but he chose a level for every game separately

[@Zippo1st]

Honorable mention: Tubular

[@EWOODJ]

Thank you for bringing up Outrageous in SMW. That’s the only level in the entire game I still sometimes struggle with. Tubular is a cakewalk. Yeah, I said it.

[@mateus53415]

Fun fact: the 5 solid blocks in 8-3 are equal to 8-1. The only difference is visual. In 8-1 each block has blocks until the end but technically it is the same precision to pass both sessions. The devs really knew how to create an illusion of difficulty

[@balls_gaming]

which mario game?

[@tyty2tiethr335]

Hollow knight has hardened me😅 that last challenge wasn’t very hard in comparison😂 great video!

[@ianbent0n]

Same. Completing Path of Pain and then playing a bunch of Celeste makes Wonder seem so easy. I got super annoyed with the little douchebags encouraging you the whole time.

[@tyty2tiethr335]

@@ianbent0n yeah those flowers are something else😂 Celeste was an extremely good platformer, I played that too!

[@ianbent0n]

@@tyty2tiethr335 Any suggestions on other good 2d platformers?

[@tyty2tiethr335]

@@ianbent0n Sure! If you’re looking for the same type of difficulty, I’d say try out the super meat boy series Some other ones I’ve played that retain some of the difficulty and has a good story are ori and the blind forest, and ori and the will of the wisp…other than that nothing else really comes to mind…maybe rayman legends?

[@Ninjah853]

He should make a video for Mario wonder, showing basically the hardest level, easiest level and weirdest level for it

[@NAcHO-wx5vg]

That final race against the wiggler is so far my least favorite level. I beat it, letting me get to the secret world from that area but that level sucked… and yes I know climb to the best exists but I haven’t even attempted that yet.

[@brendancurry9808]

Bro you GOTTA figure out other ways to introduce each game, they are almost all the exact word for word each video 💀

[@briansilva3344]

Some people like the repetition

[@tylerphillips503]

THANK YOU! I can't stand always hearing the same inflection and "the next game in the series, would be... the series made the jump to 3D with..."

This ^^^ And let’s get some new topics because almost all of these videos are the same

[@shouvik1056]

The channel name is "copycat" wtf you expect lol

[@snacpop]

Great criticism. Completely agree. Please practice varying your pitch and pace while talking. It sounds way more interesting too.

[@NAcHO-wx5vg]

Haven’t watched it yet but calling the perfect run and darker side will be here for Mario galaxy 2 and odyssey respectively.

[@babyburch33]

One honorable mention about 3D Land would be Special 7-4. You have a giant cosmic clone following you as you are traversing across flip panels. Without a Tanooki leaf, you have to constantly plan out your next move to avoid getting cornered by the clone.

[@bdt2002gaming]

I’ve been playing through this game lately, and you’re definitely right about that. It’s not that bad if you have a Super Leaf or if you’re not going for the Star Medals, but it took me probably around 30-35 tries to get all three of those without a power-up.

[@babyburch33]

@@bdt2002gaming Same here. The stiff 3D physics and depth perception always gave me the most trouble with 3D Land. Especially with any level that pressures you.

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

For Super Mario Galaxy, I found The Electric Labyrinth the most difficult of the trial galaxies and the Battlestation's Purple Coins is a rough singular star mission.

[@metleon]

I agree that Luigi's Purple Coins is the hardest in Galaxy, but I think Battle Station's Purple Coins in Dreadnaught Galaxy is worth mentioning. You're not allowed to miss a single coin, which is very easy to do due to its auto scrolling nature.

[@AlfonsoSRT]

Wait, did you actually not mention the lilypad level in Sunshine? I don't even mind the pachinko level when compared to that one. Tubular also warranted a mention.

[@JGr2000]

Climb to the beat was insanely hard for me

[@thevoidpickaxe5865]

The Luigi one in SMG gave me so much hell (Also, the remake in SMG2 doesn't have the turning tiles, so there's that

[@WindUpTsukumo]

Im like the only one who had no trouble with the plachinko level in sunshine. I played it for first time a few years ago on switch. I played the game as a kid but i had no idea how to get past world 1 lol. Now the level i found the hardest was thr one you were on leaf floating on a poison river to collect red coins. That took me 2 hours of trying

[@chunkemonke777]

To not even mention Tubular is crazy

[@maxwellmegagamer8535]

Well I don’t think it really counts as platforming if you fly over all the platforms, and I don’t think you can afford to even stand on a single one without p balloon because getting another one is almost definitely impossible

[@PlutoNonary]

Thought the exact same thing

[@pokepress]

@@maxwellmegagamer8535 That was my thought as well. It's almost like a tougher, more strict underwater level than an actual platforming level, although you can beat it as if it were more of a platforming level using a blue Yoshi.

[@kevindavidtz]

@@maxwellmegagamer8535 yes it is. platformer games: a video game where the play is primarily focused on moving past obstacles in real time with one's avatar by using various abilities and items

[@tidepoolclipper8657]

While Wing Mario Over the Rainbow may be smaller than Rainbow Ride, however, I say it's worse in comparison. Rainbow Ride is mostly just a slow wait.

[@chispablo]

I think this is a non common L for Copycat. He mixed “hard leves” and “hard platforming” However, every once in a while we make mistakes. Keep the good videos going! ❤️

[@MUDZKP1]

The Fluff Puff Peaks special (I forgot what it was called) is the hardest level in the game (yes, even more difficult than the Badge Marathon) and should be burned in Mount Doom.

[@itstherealmario81]

Climb to the Beat? Yeah, that was the hardest level in Wonder. It ate through my lives and caused me a couple game overs

[@generalcrab0009]

I don’t get how people find Climb to the Beat difficult. I beat it like within 10 tries.

[@MUDZKP1]

@@generalcrab0009 Maybe you have a better internal timer?

[@thunderbuns6811]

I can't remember which level it is, but there's a level in 3D world where to get a green star, you have to use bullet bill launchers to bounce of the bullets with a cannon on your head to get on top of the wall. the cannon will often destroy the bullet bills, and the platforming itself is pretty precise.

[@justinbrooks9072]

Cosmic Cannon Cluster?

[@scubasteevo7013]

[@Railer61]

Is this guy brand new to these games? I mean the ice fortress looked like he never seen it before and just ran everywhere and jumping in the spot BEHIND the horizontal thwomp? Just trying to make it look hard. Oh and in SMB3, how about 5-9

[@MichaelTaylor-qp2xf]

The levels in this video that I've actually never beaten are Grandmaster Galaxy, Champion's Road and the Final-Final Test, which I'm currently still working on. In Mario Wonder, the level that gave me the most trouble was Fluff Puff Peaks Special Climb To The Beat, to which I died dozens of times each time I played through it.

[@Freddie_06]

10:09 I see amogus in the mountains and clouds. Help I'm cooked

[@kevandre]

I know a lot of people really like the sunshine levels that don't have FLUDD but I simply cannot agree. the game is clearly not meant to be played that way, the physics seem wack on their own

[@eaglescout1984]

I feel like you should have included RPG in this one. Platforming is not a big part of it, but when it's included, it can be very tricky with the 2.5-D environment of the game.

[@generalcrab0009]

If he included RPG, he’d have to include *every* spin-off, when it’s only supposed to include the mainline Super Mario games

[@Pruvist]

Sheesh I played Luigi’s purple coins in Mario galaxy today actually. I died about 7 times and figured it was impossible until remembering that there’s more than 100 coins and I could just go for the easiest ones 😂

[@madisonparlett1905]

In Champions Road, you forgot the Piranha Plant section.

[@heatherparisi8250]

I used to play 6 golden coins all the time but for some reason I never beat the final boss lol

[@Jopo1226]

You can actually collect all stars in tick tock clock with time stopped.

[@azelfdaboi5265]

No mention of 5-Tower in NSMBDS???

[@kobotics227]

A long journey's end honestly isnt that hard of a level once you get the hang of the movement of odyssey, know what to do in the level, and know what parts of the level you can skip

[@justinthewarrior9165]

Oh man, let me tell you. The hardest courses I've ever tried and beat. It was supermarked 3D world. The final stage when I first played it. I was Had trouble with this level. I was so bad with it. I tried everything to beat it and I couldn't do it. I've used tanoki leaves until finally. I with all characters and it was a nightmare. The other two are super Mario 64 Like with the TikTok clock in the sky level. Those were a pain in the blood, but I did it. What else did I completed? Super mario 3D Land its final course, which actually was in bad Honestly and then finally. And Super Mario Odyssey, I've completed the final stage and it was really fun. Honestly, when you think about it, I actually did enjoyed it. Sure. It was hard but I didn't and of course. Finally super mario Brothers wander and the final stage. I actually did it. It was tough, but I did it. And I beat it, so those are my thoughts on it

Once you get all 96 exits, koopas will suddenly have masks.

[@ThundagaT2]

@@MUDZKP1 Actually to get that reward depends on which version of the game you're playing. If you're playing the original SNES version then you only have to clear special world to unlock that. Its the GBA version Super Mario Advance 2 that you have to get all 96 exits to unlock it.

Since optional levels count, i would say Super Mario World also has Valley Secret Fortress: Fast moving spike pillars, lava pits, and podoboos. And the spike pillars can kill you instantly in this game due to the way they were coded.
