  It's really cool seeing the NES and SNES footage together like this. You went out of your way to do Super Mario Bros 3 and this challenge justice! Such a thorough, well-thought out and excellently put together list. Many of these levels are surprisingly unforgiving and I agree with all of your placements. I forgot that the Coin Ship had a Boomerang Bros fight, so that's awesome to see you include that. Definitely was a blast watching you go through the game like this. Looking forward to seeing some more SMB3 content from you!

  7-4 was the bane of my existence on the GBA version growing up

  Your commentary helps me recognize things I didn't consider in the game design that the developers likely intended for difficulty curve and things like that. I haven't tried to play as small Mario before but now, I really want to give this a shot when I have some time

  The difficulty of World 7 in SMB3 is insane. In terms of overall difficulty, it might even surpass World 8. I didn&apos;t clear SMB3 without using the Warp Whistle until I was an adult.<br>Thank you so much for creating such a detailed explanation video!

  I love Mario 3! It was the first game that really challenged me and definitely helped me fall in love with gaming

  This feels like a shoutout to my childhood since All-Stars was my first game, and I didn&apos;t have a manual to learn the controls. My friend showed me the warp whistle location, but I was so bad at this game that I basically was always Small Mario. I didn&apos;t beat this until years later when I finally learned the run button and how to use the powerups.

  If only modern 2d Mario games could have this same level of difficulty. Part of what makes Mario 3 so good

  My guess before watching the video, was 7-8 for #1. And for the same reason, that enemy plant shooting fireballs was quite a wall without power ups. I always rely on a power up to beat this level, seriously.<br><br>My guesses have been on point on most of your videos, since these were my childhood games and already have the knowledge of all the levels. No surprise that 7-8 being #1, such a brutal level just playing as small Mario.
