You know, generally in video games the game gets harder as you progress. World 8 is tougher than world 4 and world 4 is tougher than world 1.

How are you going to make it to world 8 if you get stuck and have to use demo play on world 2?

Seems to me this kind of thing creates a cyclical problem. Players will skip a hard part instead of learning how to get past it and because they didn't learn how to pass it, they will have to skip even more parts later.

Not necessarily. Some people have harder times with certain things than others. World 8-3 was harder than 8-4 was for me, and 2-2 was harder than pretty much everything before world 5.

There are exceptions however it's important to remember that they are indeed exceptions.
