Probably console games only. Playing all of the Zeldas seemed too time consuming for me right now, and I shamefully don't think I've ever actually beaten any of the Mario games (besides 3) without using warps/level skips.

Anyway, 1 day, 1 game down. Super Mario Bros (All-Stars version) beaten. Thank God for save states.

Lost Levels: skip it or go right to Doki Doki Panic?

If you struggled to beat SMB1 even with save states you should probably skip it

I wouldn't say "struggled" but the save states definitely helped me not lose patience

Okay well Lost Levels will exponentially try that same patience.

Its not just harder SMB1. It has deliberately obtuse level design intended to troll people who mastered SMB1

Don't skip it. Just think of the satisfaction you'll feel after you beat it.

The goal of this exercise is to warm my heart with nostalgia and respect for the franchise so that I suck it up and buy a Switch for Odyssey.

If lost levels is going to piss me off then I'd probably pass.

So for SMB2, do I get to choose a new character per level or am I stuck with whomever I select at the onset? It's been literally 20 years since I've touched this game.

There are some invisible blocks in that game hiding above tough jumps that will give you PTSD

Kinda creepy though that things like Shyguys and Birdo somehow transferred out of Marios dream into his reality

Nah those things exist.

When was the last time you dreamed of something completely original? It doesn't really happen. Dreams are warped representations of reality.

Shy guys clearly existed when Mario was a baby.
