Length of fastest speedruns, longest to shortest: Super Mario Bros. 3 (11:01)
Seems the games had a trend of getting longer and easier. Jam-packed with more content, but not as frustratingly difficult. If New SMB Wii is harder (thanks to the Super Guide) AND longer than Super Mario World, I wil be very very happy. |
You can't really use speedrun records to gauge the length of a game since such runs allways skip a majority of the content. I think you're still right though - games get longer, and easier since they no longer need the player to fail repeatedly in order to artificially lengthen playtime.
NSMB Wii might indeed have the best of both worlds, but I'd expect a SMB3-like experience, personally.
