That's not the case with the optional assists I am talking about though. NSMB does not become unplayable if you choose to forego the Super Guide, nor does DKCR or Tropical Freeze.

Right - which is why I didn't mention those games. 

And why I didn't mention the sort of thing you're talking about either, because what you're talking about isn't optional assists, but optional handicaps, the total opposite.
