Anyone beat Super Mario Brothers 2: the Lost levels

[Jagermeister]

I'm stuck on 8-4. So difficult and long.

[leicamaster]

I beat it on the original famicom I cant stand the computer keyboard to play a game!!!!

[Jagermeister]

I'm trying to beat it on the SNES and the game is hard as hell. I can't get past the last bowser level

[Osaka]

I recently beat it on Famicom Disk, and it took foreeeeeeever. I spent most of the day trying to beat it, and yes, 8-4 is evil.

[leicamaster]

that level took me about an hour and a half to beat it! SMB2 (jp) is so hard!!!!!!

[Jagermeister]

I figure i've gone this far i have to finish

[Osaka]

Don't give up man! The feeling you have once you finally beat is totally worth all the frustration ;)

[Aussie2B]

The game goes beyond 8-4. ;)

I've beaten it many times over on Super Mario All-Stars. That was the first Super Nintendo game I ever got, and at the time it was the only game I owned period. I didn't get new games all that often, so I'd cycle through the old stuff over and over. Back then I was the master at all four of those Mario games. I'm sure I had every annoying trick in The Lost Levels memorized, but now I would probably die on the first stage, haha.

[Jagermeister]

haha i'll keep on keepin on

[calthaer]

I couldn't stand that game. It went beyond merely "difficult" into the realm of "annoying" for me. Poison mushrooms and crap like that. I'd rather play a game that's difficult without being "tricky," like Contra or something.

[Jagermeister]

I don't know how "tricky" it is....although it has taken me practically five weeks to get to 8-4

[Blitzwing256]

4-4 and 8-4 were the tougher levels in the game.
8-4 took me several days to finish.

interesting bit of trivia, if you can manage to beat the fds version 8 times it will allow you to access worlds a thru d and if you can beat the game without warping or continuing you can get to world 9 after 8.

good luck :"-)

The Youtube vids make it look easy. But that's what Youtube vids do.

Once.

I have it on the Virtual Console and on Super Mario All-Stars, but I haven't gotten that far since.

[DigitalSpace]

I've beat the game several times. It took me a while to get through the trickier levels, but I played this game a lot as a kid, and today I can beat it in one sitting.

[scooterb23]

Is this where I mention I beat the game twice...

Once the day I first played it in 3 lives

the next day on 1 life.

Haven't played it since then

[Trumpman]

I have it on Super Mario Brothers Deluxe for GBC, and never got past 8-2. It's one of those puzzle levels, and it is so unfair. Man, SMB Deluxe was such a great deal though.

[darkhades]

I beat the lost levels years ago. Yes, it is very tough, but very satisfying once you do beat it, so stick with it!

[vintagegamecrazy]

I beat it a few times, I think 9-4 way way more evil than 8-4 though.

[Xizer]

I don't want to brag here but I've beaten it many times.

To be honest, it's pretty easy. You just have to memorize certain patterns of gameplay.

[Jagermeister]

yeah it's not to bad so far i can get pretty much 3/4 of the way through it no prob.

[rbudrick]

It's pretty easy with the 100 lives trick in 1-1.

Now, Super Mario Bros. Special for the PC8801, that game's a bitch.

[Volcanon]

saw that sucker on youtube. non-scrolling mario brothers with often hard jumps between screens. looks terrible.

[Jagermeister]

So i just beat the 9th world and...sweet more levels..I guess we're doing A-1 now

[ubersaurus]

I beat the SNES and Game Boy Color versions, including the bonus levels. Good lord, it takes forever. Kept me busy over the summer, though!

[Jagermeister]

Speaking of Bonus levels...does anyone remember how many there are? I'm on A-4 right now.

[Jorpho]

Goes right up to D-4, as Mr. Blitzwing256 suggests.
