I've been playing NSWMB Wii for 4 days and...

... and I'm already up to world 6 :-/

And I've been playing co-op for most of the way with very inexperienced Mario gamers (I've been playing for around 15 years).

I'm really upset about this. Each review spoke about how difficult it was going to be, but it's just not difficult enough. Nor is it long enough. Each world has about 6 levels. SMB3 always had around 8-9 levels.

Don't get me wrong, it's such an incredibly fun game.

But why can't Nintendo go all the way, if they're half way there. They have made a fantastic game, it's amazingly fun, the levels are challenging in the first few worlds but then they just get too easy as the game progresses. The difficulty changes, but not severely enough.

This frustrates me to no end. NIntendo went on about this game and everyone got the feeling this was going to be the ultimate 2D traditional Mario game. If they got that wrong, I officially have abandoned hope of them making any more good 2D Mario platform games.

I grew up playing SMB3, which is in my opinion the best game ever made. I still play that game and find it incredibly difficult, even though I've played through it several times. I don't care if a game is not "revolutionary" or "groundbreaking", and I certainly don't care if the graphics aren't the most advanced. Give me a good 2D side scrolling Mario platform game and I am happy. Seems like I'll be playng SMB3 forever then...

What do you people think about this?

I've never found Mario games hard. From the ones I've played, Super Mario Sunshine is the hardest. I found Mario 3 to be on the easy side actually.

Mario games are easy this generation but the platforming is fun and creative in each game. The only hard super mario brothers games are the classic ones such as SMB 1-3.

I had a feeling this would be the case. I'm still planning to buy the game because it is obviously a quality game. However, it does disappoint me that Nintendo seems to be putting in less effort these days. Hopefully Zelda Wii changes that. Six levels per world does seem to few, especially if they are short and of only average difficulty.

Well thats pretty much what Mitamoto said easier than SMB3 but harder than world. I actually find SMB3 hard so I'm cool with the difficulty

The only hard mario game i've played is lost levels.

Hmmm. You have been playing for 4 days. You are only on world 6 and the game is not long enough. How bout you collect all the star coins. How bout you finish the game before complaing about it. The difficulty supposively ramps up after world 5, so give it a chance. Honestly some of you people are so hard on nintendo that whenever they make a great game you **** thats its not good enough.

Well said Kuribo Girl. Super Mario bros. 3 certainly was one of the best 2D Mario games of all time to date. I have not played NSMB yet. I really want to but I hope you are incorrect about it being too easy. Maybe you are just too good at Mario games so you find them easy? Haha.Crisis_Eye

heh, glad you agree :)

Lol. I'm really not that good. I found SMB3 very hard - world 8 took me quite a while to get through.

I seriously think it's too easy. I'm sorry to dissapoint you. It is definitely still worth playing but it won't last long.

I think Super Mario Bros 3 only really got hard when it was onto world 5 and Super Mario World well you have Special Road.

well i dunno if im the only one but i really suck at mario games i was stuck on world 2 in Mario 3

dont get me wrong im good at games just not mario games

How many hours are you playing a day?

If it's taken you four days and you're playing 10 hours a day then that's terrific.

If you're playing for only 30 minutes a day then that's awful news.

Mario games aren't meant to be completed over an entire week. You can complete any of the sidescrolling mario games in a single sitting. Including the 90 level Super Mario World. Although New Super Mario Bros Wii isn't as hard as Super Mario Bros 1 or 3, its not far off. It's definately not going to be any harder than those games either.Raiko101

Think of the children, Kuribo_Girl.

Ive been playing Mario games since '94 and playing this game on single player while trying to get all the star coins is pretty damn hard. I was stuck on world 2 for a few hours!

I beat the game yesterday 100% but my god, its was almost as hard as Mario 2.

Wait, people think Mario Sunshine was hard?

well i dunno if im the only one but i really suck at mario games i was stuck on world 2 in Mario 3

JordanElek

To Jordan: The blue coins weren't that hard, all you had to do was walk around each world and spray everything and you'd find them no problem, I was able to knock out each world in about an hour each. As for the timed red coins. those were the hard parts of the game for me, much like Mario World's special levels, galaxy's 3 world thing and purple coins, the last couple of levels in Mario 3, etc. The game as a whole wasn't harder then the other Mario games.

[QUOTE="JordanElek"]

Scythes777

I beat the game, but I just couldnt finish getting the rest of the shines too. There was one where you have to get a yoshi to an island so he could open a warp pipe for you, then you had to ride on a leaf and get coins and you couldnt miss any of them or else you had to try again. It was just too time consuming and frustrating for me so i just stopped playing.

To Scythe: Ah, yah, that was probably the hardest shine, the way I tackled it was just going slowly so not to miss a coin, and if I did I merely sprayed forward and pushed the leaf backwards until I got the coin. If the leaf ran out before I got to the end then I used the hover nozzle and went to an edge, and then got the rest of the coins by jumping from edge to edge. I found that the last couple of red coins are easy to get when jumping from ledge to ledge so if you can get the first 5 or 6 on the leaf it isn't that hard. Like I said above, it has its hard parts just like every Mario game, but I don't see it as being harder then them all.

Wow glitchspot what have you done.

me and my brother beat the first world in roughly 20 minutes. tons of fun but i felt like we were our worst enemy(like jumping into eachother). hope it picks up the difficulty.

Wow Kuribo_Girl, you say the game's to easy but you've been playing for four days and you're only on world six. And bragging that you've been playing mario games for 15 years :roll: I just got my copy today and i've only played for a few hours so far but, i'm already on world four :P

Same with me, I got my copy today and I'm already on World 6, over half way through it.

Knight-Owl

You have to understand, I've been playing for a long time but I still find them challenging :p

That is, SMB3. Man, I still find world 8 incredibly difficult!

I don't think your expectations of a 2D sidescroller game are realistic.

You say you've spent about 4 hours a day, for 4 days, playing this game. That's 16 hours. For a sidescroller. And you have 3 worlds left.

For comparison, one can beat Super Mario World in less than 5 hours. Super Mario Bros 3 can easily be beaten in 4.

So let's say that you keep up your pace. That's 2 more 4 hour periods of play, for a total of 24 hours. And that's not even including Free Mode and Coin Battle, or the fact that playing with someone (or 3 others) is a completely different experience from playing the game by yourself.

There's a ton of content and variety in this game, so it's really all about how you choose to take advantage of that.

It has got nothing to do with him playing the game. Its the fact that you have complained about the games length / difficulty when you haven't even finished it. Fair enough if you've finished the game and actually know how long it is, but you haven't so you really are in no position to say the whole game is easy or short.

Wait, people think Mario Sunshine was hard?

Shy_Guy_Red

You're playing single player, aren't you? Then yeah, its easy on some level but if you're playing this game in multiplayer, then it is tough because my bro and I are haven't a difficult time sometimes (we've been playing mario games since 94') and we do cooperate.

Overall, if you're playing single player.. its not too hard but if you're playing multiplayer.. its challenging because you have to cooperate or competitive... whichever. Even with just 2 players playing this game is already tough.

Exactly. If I had only played through SMB3 once when I was a kid, it wouldn't have been worth the money. It was the hundreds of playthroughs that made it worth it. I'm not a little kid any more, so I don't expect to play NSMB hundreds of times through. But think of all the kids who will.
