I HAVE COMPLETED ZELDA 2!

AND IT ONLY TOOK 94 DEATHS!

Seriously, that was one of the hardest games I think I've played. Compared to stuff like Twilight Princess and Ocarina of Time (apart from the damn water temple) this is much harder. Anyone else accomplished this?

Also, does anyone know if it's worth doing the 2nd quest, I mean, do I get anything from it? I've tried a few websites but they don't say anything.

The Lost Levels will be the end of you.

But oh is it one enjoyful end.

I can't even imagine how The Lost Levels was supposed to be possible on the original NES without savestates or end-of-zone saves. It was hard enough on Mario All-Stars where you got to save at every level.

I had accomplished this a while back before my cartridge battery died.

It took forever but it was totally worthwhile because it was basically a big middle finger to Ganon after getting through the lava path, suffering through the Grand/Great Palace and defeating the shadow of yourself. It was a very memorable moment.

Too bad The Lost Levels were more of reflexes than skills. It was hard, no doubt about it, but not in the way it should really be intended.

It'd be badass if a sequel to New SMB would have an entire game's worth of levels that had a degree of difficulty that mirrored or BETTER than TLL. Seeing as Mario has new abilities and all, they could totally push you to the limit.

New SMB was tough shit though. It was by no means a pushover SMB. A harder one is almost asking for trouble.

Its also one of the few DS games that *COULD* be ported to a console without losing much anything.

I found SMB to be the easiest Mario game I've ever played. Even easier than SMB1, SMB3, SMW, SMW2...

For comparison, the hardest SMBs are SMB3, then SMB1, and of course, The Lost Levels.

Whaaat? You think that SMB1 is harder than Lost Levels? Amazing.

I also think that SMB3 is incredibly easy except for world 8.

OH, psh, you know what I meant. Was in a hurry when I wrote that.

rmz · 03-03-2007, 10:36 PM

Oh, you meant in ascending order? HAHA, how could I not see that?

Yeah, that was my mistake then.

Geschpooklichkeit · 03-03-2007, 10:45 PM

I'm completely useless in all of them.

Akkaraju · 03-03-2007, 10:50 PM

I still haven't beat lost levels. I suck hard at platformers but that was one hell of a hard SMB.

I only played a ROM of Zelda 2 but that was hard as hell and I gave up on it quickly

Adilor · 03-04-2007, 04:21 AM

Wow...congrats, seriously. Zelda 2 is one of the only games I've ever completely given up on...it's just so unbelievably difficult that it's not even fun at times. Although, I haven't played it in years...maybe one of these days I'll give it another go.

K.AuthoR · 03-04-2007, 10:45 AM

I thought NSMB was easy, up until the last world, which was like a brick wall. It was also kind of short.
