Super Mario Bros. 2 (The Lost Levels)

Okay, so, basically my roommate has the Wii, and he's got the Japanese SMB2 (called the Lost Levels here in the States) on Virtual Console. I remember playing the game as a young lad when I got Super Mario All-Stars for SNES, and never getting very far. So basically, we sat down today and decided to try and beat it. We made it up to World 7 before we decided to take a break.

This game is ridiculously hard.

Has anyone played it? It's a really fun game but man, this is on par with the Mega Man Zero games in terms of difficulty.

Yeah, I've played it and like you said it was stupidly hard.

you reach a point where you need so much life (hearts) to survive and they never come so i always give up.

You're thinking of the American Super Mario 2, which is just another game with Mario sprites thrown in. Great game in its own right, though.

I remember playing it on the All Stars cartridge for the SNES. That damn game was so hard it just pissed me off after a certain point.

I'd rarely get 10 minutes into it, cuss it out, then just play SMB3, IMO the best of the series. One of my favorite games of all time actually.

The first thing that always comes to mind is the fake mushrooms. I hated those damn things. I can see why Nintendo released a port of Doki Doki Panic as Super Mario 2 here in the US. This game is by far the hardest Mario I can remember playing.

I remember it from SMB All Stars. It was definitely more difficult, but not super difficult.

I beat it with SMB all stars. It was hard, but not ridiculously hard. I feel that some of the "purple star" levels in SM Galaxy were way harder than anything in the Lost Levels .. also some of the Super Mario World special levels were brutal.
