So much elitism.
Nobody is forcing you to use it, so it harms nobody.
People who aren't as skilled at games should not be deprived of getting to the next part of the game.

That's why I don't play Mario anymore. I don't have a problem with easy games for people without skills. I just ignore them, and play games like Super Meat Boy instead. Now THAT game will put hair on your balls.

 

There's lots of games developed for people with actual skill. You just have to find them. I think the people who bitch about Mario are older gamers like me who remember the NES games being so much harder to beat. It's not that they hate Nintendo. It's that they LOVE them, and want them to make games really challenging again.

Admittedly, as someone who grew up with the SNES era, I was not exposed to the cruelty of the NES era until I explored it retrospectively in my late teens, but I find it easy to just refuse to use the super guide.
