every game, every single level.
this was an extremely fun time except for when it wasn't. SMB1 is the perfect example of timeless, as it's top to bottom a great time. SMB2 (USA) is the black sheep, but still really fun. long ass levels tho, which can kill your momentum/become a slog if you find yourself getting a game over. SMB3 is perfect, every level is just the right length for me and feels great.
Lost Levels... well. wow. holy shit. i can't believe i completed it. and not just 1-8, but world 9, and worlds A-D. i sincerely do not understand what the thought process was. i get that it's meant for the Hardcore Players, but half of it is fake difficult. random leaps of faith. random hammer bros just plopped in to impede your progress. hardly any power ups. POISON FUCKING MUSHROOMS. far too many puzzle levels that require you to figure out Up then Down then Up then Up. some levels that actually have no clear end in sight to the point where i had to look it up, only to find im meant to leap at this specific spot for a hidden block to appear. other levels where i'm progressing and then a random hidden block appears, causing me to fall to my death. it's punishing. it's cruel. but i'm glad i beat it. i do feel accomplished/proud of myself.
