Broke my arm playing this game when I was a kid (combination of the game glitching like MAD, basement's cement floor, and me being an idiot for where I was sitting on the couch) so finally beating it now as an adult feels like I rectified that harrowing/dumbass core moment of my childhood. I will not say where I was in the game when it broke because it's only even more embarrassing lol. This does bring up the question: does breaking a bone while playing a video game make you just the absolute HARDEST gamer out there? The answer to that is don't ever fucking call me a gamer.
Definitely not the best Mario game but definitely up there and maybe the best vibes of all of them? This SNES update is just gorgeous. Totally a-okay not to like this one, of course, but anyone complaining that this isn't a REAL Mario game/Mario 2 is probably anti-art. God Birdo.

A solid follow up to Mario 1 but still hasn't aged particularly well. I like the expanded level design and multiple playable characters but the controls are too floaty and slippery and I don't like the grabbing mechanic as much as jumping on enemies. Also I feel like the game overstays it's welcome just a little bit. I had enough at around world 4. Not bad but not great either.
