But with NSMBU, my sister was able to support me via the gamepad and we beat the hell out of the game! Felt good to cheese levels with the bonus blocks. Also, the overworld was neat. I don't mind the abrupt transitions between themes at all, and I really enjoyed the way the hidden paths construct themselves and connect the world. We played the Luigi DLC and it was fun, too, but I honestly didn't feel any difference in the quality of level design. It was all just kinda "ok", like the series as a whole.

Another cool thing about the coins in NSMB2 is that it finally gives a reason to exist for the time limit. If you had infinite time, collecting many coins in a level wouldn't be as impressive. It doesn't seem very intentional as the game doesn't really play with the time limit regarding coins though, which would've been very cool. Like imagine one NSLU-like stage with only 100s but lot of places to go all field with coins but in many different way and where you have to really master the game and make the most optimal path to get a high score while still being fast enough to finish the stage, that would be a banger.

This is a really good video! As someone who's played every single entry in the series to death, I was really surprised to find that I wasn't the only person out there that didn't hate NSMB2. I have lots of fond memories with that game, hell, it pretty much got me through a single roadtrip singlehandedly. I love what it does with such a limited concept, and I honestly thought the secrets in that game were the most fun to find in any series. I rarely had to look anything up like I did in later entries. Luigi U was really fun for me as well, since I love a challenge, and although its not my favorite entry in the series its a close second behind NSMB! NSMB is truly my childhood game and the minigames and versus mode make it my favorite in the whole series, ESPECIALLY with friends. This really sent me back and made me think about all these games critically, and while the series is tired by now, I really enjoyed playing all of these one way or another. Thanks for making this, I had a really good time watching!

Honestly I treat this group of games as re-releases for separate consoles, (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing). They do it so everyone can experience a 2-D Mario game, no matter which console you have. You‘re not meant to play all of them, (the same way there’s no point playing smash 4 on wii u and smash 4 on 3DS) it’s just so everyone gets to play it.

There's one thing that you need to consider: each of these is someone's first Mario. The first couple worlds *have* to be basic, because they're the tutorial.

Funnily enough, Wario was intended to be in NSMB2 as the reward for collecting 1M coins as an unlockable and playable character. But the developers found out that the time it would take to put him in the game and fix any potential glitches would push it's release date to NSMB U.
