World 6 is Inconsistent - New Super Mario Bros. Analysis

Out of all the Worlds in New Super Mario Bros, World 6 has always struck me as the most bizarre. Not only because of it's unusual levels, but mostly because future instalments strictly follow the mountain theme afterwards. Why do I feel this way though? This video will explain why I think World 6 is the most inconsistent world in New Super Mario Bros.

I think it's a bit cool how Nintendo didn't confine themselves to one type of level for World 6. That final vertical mountain level is dope. Though I do think that NSMB Wii and NSMBU did the mountain world theme better.

Mountain world in NSMB DS is too cool tbh

[@ItsWebostyles]

World 6 in nsbw is in my top 3 worlds of that game

[@bingobo2551]

Fun fact: nsmbds mountain world was originally the machine world at some point in develoupment. Make that with what you will especially when bowser reuses one of his attacks from hotel mario in the intro to help bowser jr steal the princess.

Level elements can also aid the feeling of a theme. For example, Bullet Bills are often used in Mountain levels, for instance. The elements in each level are also very random - skewers, firebars, lakitus, question block shenanagans, icy slopes. Suprisingly, there don't seem to be any Fuzzies, a stable of mountain and sky worlds. Same with Monty Moles, outside of the tank. Honestly, out of all of these the forest level feels the most out of place - the ? block stuff gives the level a haunted vibe to me, which is basically never in a mountain world.

Well this was an era where Nintendo doesn’t use enemies or concepts from their olden days, but even then would’ve been a great opportunity.

5:38 You're supposed to use a Mini Mushroom to have it be not frustrating.

[@miimiiandco]

It really does feel like they had a bunch of leftover levels, and just threw them into World 6.

[@azumars]

Stuff like this is kinda why i love the original nsmb even if i think in some aspects (the star coins) arent as well desgined as later entries like its always very qjirky and experimental and also shows a lot of love to 3d mario its really cool

[@seansmith6255]

Say what you will But the world 6 map music is amazing

[@GoldenDryBonesandStu]

It has no right to SLAP in all 3 games it’s in.

[@danielfotheringhamproducti7368]

I actually think it’s cool they experimented to see what could work, still weird, but nonetheless cool, so good video from you!

[@drfardnerd5596]

I wanted for these Levels to have names so I thought of some of them World 6: Dangerous Mountains 6-1: Blast Top 6-2: Up and Down Waters 6-Tower: Spiky Tip Tower 6-3: Evergreen Side 6-4: Tense Ledges 6-Tower2: Tall Toll Tower 6-5: Whirlpool Loops 6-6: Mountain Expedition 6-Castle: Obsta-Castle 6-A: Dusty Cracks 6-B: Way Cool

[@thisisasupersayin376]

5:40 You're. Supposed to use the mini mushroom for that.

[@Hydro66]

What I find especially weird is that world 3 had a couple sky themed levels that would feel more at home in world 6. They could’ve swapped those 2 for the beach and underwater levels in world 6

[@bombyman84]

Honestly, World 6 feels like a sort of compilation of all the previous level themes to me. And considering it's USUALLY the last world before World 8 (unless you go to World 7 instead), I guess it makes a little sense?

[@Dock284]

I get the feeling that they had unused levels that they reused for world 6 because they didn't have enough mountain level ideas or just ran out of time.

[@4_gettable]

awesome video, i subscribed. you pointed out something i had never noticed or heard people talk about before

[@elifdot]

This really is one of the best new super mario bros videos I've ever seen, I really liked it :)

[@Squiddy-go1du]

Ironic that the first game in NSMBDS is not only the first NSMB game, but also the most creative, using level designs and ideas that never come back again.

[@seansmith6255]

To be fair world 2 has grass themed level Also world 8 also has two towers And fun fact new donk city used to

[@Raddish-IS-Radd]

You missed out on a pun World 6 is inconsixtent... GET IT!

[@lem2tlifenine]

The only world that hasn't been referenced in world 6 is world 1, however it was referenced in world 7

[@Maskedgamer9909]

Mario bros ds came off the same track as Mario 64 and incorporated its elements which I feel are more fun in 2d but the newer entries are more linear given the bigger focus on multiplayer

[@bewearstar9462]

6-2 and 6-3 was supposed to be in world 2 and 4 in the beta of new super mario bros

[@yniekac8851]

Great video. Never realized this. Can remember that this always my least favorite world in the game

[@eric4636]

Why is New Super Mario Bros U. Deluxe bad to you and why it should not exist, hm?

[@OmegaRejectz]

0:19 how come?

[@LordIceberg]

You ruined Snailicorns for me 😢

[@chao3948]

there are so many completely nonsensical sentences throughout this video
