I've played some tough video games in my life, but I don't think ANYTHING could top the level of difficulty that is "Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels." If this game had actually BEEN allowed to be the second "Super Mario Bros." video game like it was in Japan, it might have very well KILLED Mario's video game career in America! :shock: "The Lost Levels" is not just FAIRLY hard, it's not just MODERATELY hard, it's not just VERY hard; the level of hardness actually ranks at: it's so freaking hard to beat it's like someone is constantly throwing bricks at your head with the level of insane difficulty contained in this game! :O This game has SO many stages that require jumps, maneuvers, running, and a determination that's very hard-core, this game will have many players wondering IF the level of insanity will ever stop! :!: Of course, it DOES stop, but only after 13 levels, each with 4 stages of mind-numbing enemies and grueling obstacles to overcome, that it's a task that should be undertaken only by those willing to put up with grueling failures that they will probably, inevitably, take as they try to beat the game! :roll: And as if all THOSE obstacles weren't bad enough, there are some bonus areas within the stages that will actually send the player BACKWARDS through the stage, prolonging them from reaching the goal. And don't even think about trying to utilize the warp zones. Some will send you back to a level that's already BEEN beaten, and the game can't truly BE beaten unless no warp zones are used in the game! :oops: This IS a Mario game, which bumps up the score a lot, but it's definitely the HARDEST game to beat out of Mario's entire video game catalog by a LONG shot! :idea: Only expert players who are supremely confidant in their skills should attempt to play this game! 8) Beginners should stay FAR away, it's for their own good! :D Enough said! ;)
