Your concept of stupid hard is strange and foreign to me. Can you name some other NES or SNES-era games that you find stupid hard and some that you find challenging hard?

Hmm.

Stupid hard:

SMB3

AoL

Dr. Jekyl & Mr. Hyde (WORST GAME EVER)

LoZ

ALttP

Challenging hard:

SMW (only some levels & areas, like the fortresses, star road, special world, and the valley of bowser and whatever the world after the forest of illusion is called)

SMB2 (borderline stupid hard)

SMB1 (very easy till 7-2, then it gets very hard)

 

Uh...I haven't played many SNES games. I think I've played like 3. And pretty much every NES game I've played is impossible.

 

 

 See, that's the thing.  All NES games back in that era were hard.  I thought SMB3 was actually easy compared to the other games I was playing back then... although maybe megaman was easier.

 The point is that it was absolutely amazing for its time.  It looked and played so much better than pretty much anything else at the time.

After doing most of my gaming during the NES and SNES era, I find many current games are so easy that they don't actually interest me.  For example, I think A Link to the Past is incomparably better than Ocarina of Time.  My brother and I used to sequence break A Link to the Past so we could play any of the last 8 dungeons and fight the bosses with low health (but all the items) just for fun.  Ocarina, with half of the number of items and totally linear gameplay, and no difficult boss fights just seems boring in comparison.
