#24 Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (SNES, 1993)

I'm kind of a glutton for punishment when it comes to 2D platformers. Well, as long as the punishment is reasonable. The Lost Levels kind of pushes that limit, but not enough for me to go from loving it to hating it.



More of an expansion pack to Super Mario Bros. than a sequel, the game looks and handles almost identically. The difficulty ramps up pretty close to where the first game leaves off, which makes it fitting to be played only after having mastered Super Mario Bros. Outside of the increased difficulty, the main difference is the option to choose Luigi for single-player, instead of the two-player mode. Luigi gets his first distinction from Mario here, with his more slippery movement and improved jumping. This is classic Luigi before he was ruined years later.

Not much more to say about it, really. This was a very hard game and certainly one of the hardest games I played as a kid. That made it all the more satisfying when I was finally able to beat it.
