When I was younger, Mario 2 (Doki Doki) was my favorite Mario.  As I've gotten older, that's not the case.  I kind of like Mario 1 and Mario 3 equally now, though I still like Mario 2 a lot.

Mario: The Lost Levels however is just too frsutrating to enjoy on the same level as all the others.  Yes I can get far into it and I've played a lot of it.  But its almost like you need to do the 100 lives trick or read a guide for thw warps just to beat it.  And it just doesn't become fun anymore when that's the case.  Mario 1 was hard back in the day...but at least it was beatable.  This game takes all your skill just to beat a couple levels and by that time, you have no lives left.  Because it doesn't give you any extra lives (aside from a couple levels where you can do special tricks to get them).


Well, I play Lost Levels on Wii.  There are unlimited continues, and the Wii lets you save-state when you power off, so unlimited lives are not necessary.  It's still difficult, but at least there's that.  And if you play on SNES, there is a save game option, too.
