— @KimJongSizzle

6:56 New Super Mario Bros. 2

8:13 Super Mario 3D Land

I quess this is pretty subjective thing but I would have made pretty different list. Some of the old ones are way too high.

— @J.J-g7d

9:40 Super Mario Odyssey

11:53 Super Mario Bros.

Darker Side WAS difficult, no idea what you’re talking about

— @OcelotDAD

13:24 Super Mario Bros. Wonder

15:13 Super Mario Galaxy

Mario: welcome to Vice city is probably the hardest one. 😂

— @joshuavalle8450

17:04 Super Mario Bros. 3

19:10 Super Mario World

Is any of this real ??

— @firaspop

20:35 New Super Mario Bros. U

22:39 Super Mario 3D World

One thing you didn’t mention regarding the original Super Mario Bros. is that you can hold A when pressing start to go back to the world you died on.

— @Wetlukegamer

25:37 Super Mario Bros. 2

27:19 Super Mario 64

Saying NSMBU is harder than Mario 3 is like saying you think room temperature milk tastes better than cold. Absolutely abysmal opinion.

— @MoldieAnimations

29:38 New Super Mario Bros. Wii

30:57 Super Mario Galaxy 2

7:06 NSMB2 8-castle was really hard when I was a kid 😅

— @pedroivog.s.6870

32:59 Super Mario Sunshine

35:09 Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels

me who casually 100% completes new super mario bros wii, super mario galaxy 2, and super mario 3d world by mself multiple times for fun, currently struggling on bowser's fury watching it be called the easiest one on the list like

i dont think my brain is built for open world type games

also as someone who also played new super mario bros ds, maybe it's just cause i was younger the last time i played it and 100% it and ive since played wii's way more often and more frequently, but you cannot convince me that nsmbds is easier than nsmbwii

If I had a nickel for every time a third installment of a Mario subseries had the number 2 in it, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

Thinking about Placing, Super Mario Galaxy One a. Little Bit Higher because of the fucking comets like purple coins or tempo or… risk comet…
It’s horrible to collect all 200… stars

I kept wondering if you decided to put Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island as crazy tough.

LL was always going to be at the top.

I find it funny that you mentioned that you'd beat a game as a kid do it must not be that hard, then ranked Mario 2 and 3 very high. That just seems odd to those of us who beat those games as kids, you know?

I want to point out that 3D world requires you to beat every level with every character for 100% completion. So while Peach and Rosalina are a bit stronger you still need to win everything with the other 3

NSMB2 is extremely controversial because it is SO EASY the easiest of all I’ve played however the DLC & special world saves it from complete nothingness

@

Yoshi island is up there also

@Ziggy-t9q
@

you didn't put Super Mario Brothers or Paper in this list

@rockyprince11985
@

64 is far, far easier than Odyssey and Galaxy. I do the wing cap star on first or second try every time. It's nothing on Darker Side of the Moon

@bethesdaholic
@

11:19 ok but the boss gauntlet on the moon was gay

@mitchmaule6517
@

bro my brother 100 percented nsmbw and said it was not that hard

and it isnt i 100 percented it too

@LeoBrawl-b7s
@

This made me feel old. I played mario bros 3 as a kid so hearing you say new super mario bros was a game you played as a kid floored me 😅. BTW super mario land 1 on the gameboy was LIT when it came out. We couldn't believe we had a mario game in our hands when that dropped

@scottbeech9534
@

I could not begin to lump the 2D mario games along the 3D one, but i am very very happy that we can agree that Mario Sunshine is basically the hardest 3D mario game with unfair levels of difficulty and confusion to 100% the game

@KingConradVI
@

Nice

@wk8219
@

Super Mario world is one of the hardest Mario games I ever played .

@unbasic6307
@

Male pattern baldness? How dare you disrespect Mario like that, he may wear a hat, but he has thick LUSCIOUS italian hair, it's springy and ricH!

@FocusE7Q
@

3D world on a single switch joycon is mad rage inducing also playing it two player

@gavin.l8485
@

17:49 to rent them over and over again.

@geekbyhart1004
@

This probably doesn't count, but Super Mario World 2 is a really difficult Mario game. Not only are you trying to beat a level, but you are trying to prevent a baby from being kidnapped.

@tateoriginals
@

Bro hasn’t played Mario Wonder Bellabel Park yet obviously

@micahbroseghini6956
@

The Lost Levels should be Nintendo's own Kaizo but without Kaizo Blocks cuz of how hard it is

@SpectBluewolf
@

I KNEW that Lost Levels would be at Number 1

@AgdaFingers
@

Yeah, bro has actually never played Lost Levels

@DavideoGames641
@

For me mario 3 is like top 5 hardest mario. The final world is insanely hard

@TheBeginnerviolin
@

I guess New Super Mario Bros. Wii really is old school tough...

@DiamondRiley06
@

I wouldn't be surprised if The Lost Levels was considered the hardest game of all time.

@whitethunder9064
@

I personally find 3D Land more difficult than Wonder or 64 (I 100%ed both) because I'm half blind of one eye and struggle too much to measure the depth with a small resolution and no camera movement.

And yes, 64 would be way easier with a good camera. I hope some day we get a 64 version that has good controls. Grew up with the DS remake and that also has horrible controls.

@Ravenoon
@

So I think you should bring up the console as something to consider because the wiimote is not to be messed with. My hand hurts, I feel it. ( I replayed NSMBW like 2 hours ago so I know what I'm talking about )

@Manolos_leboss
@

14:24 me too

@LuckyCubeGD
@

the easiest Mario game in my opinion is definitely super Mario odesy

@lucasriley5631
@

Hardest=SMM2

@ahzkfld
@

What about Mario and Luigi partners in time?

@UnluckySeb
@

Ive beaten world D of lost levels. Never again.

@unknownplite
@

The hardest is Mario maker but i know it dosent count

@Pedro-jl7rr
@

How about a not official game like newer super Mario bros Wii

@Vagg_Rouss_09
@

Superstar saga, Bowsers inside story, dream team ?

@AceMonkey-_-
@

Super Mario Galaxy 2s Burning Upside Dizzy Boxes killed me. I spent 4 hours just sitting there trying to beat the hellish 20 second challenge for that star. 😊

@SwanGuzzler

I think for the most part I somewhat agree with this ranking but 3d world is just way too high on this list. While yes, champions road is difficult, as long as you take a tanooki leaf or just peach in general then the speed boost section becomes a breeze. The rest of this game is very straightforward. (Including world star, mushroom, and flower - most of the levels are just shorter versions of the original levels found in the first 8 worlds). Personally I'd put it somewhere in the 2 star range if not 1, maybe 18th or 17th place.
