Super Mario Bros. | Jan 17, 2019 | 0:15hrs | rating:3/5
Someone at Resetera brought up the hammer bros difficulty towards the end of the game, which made me want to go and check it out. Warp pipe to world 4, warp pipe to world 8, and there I was.
I still don’t think they’re THAT hard. It’s easy to get past the first shower of hammers and wait right next to the enemy, and when he jumps, you run under them! Or, just run and jump right away.
I finished the game since I was almost there anyway, and got a quick addition to my 52 games in 2019!
Naturally it’s hard to rate/judge a game that’s been around me my whole life. The controls are clumsier than later Mario games, but functional when you know how they work. I still enjoy running through it every second year or so, because it’s so immediate and fast-paced.
Let’s see how replaying NSMBU fares in comparison.
