It took me more than a decade, but I finally beat The Lost Levels tonight :) I originally got stuck in world 4 and gave up for many years at that point. I later picked the game back up during college and made it all the way to 8-3, and that's where my save game had been waiting all this time. I picked it back up tonight on a whim after having messed around with the game on an emulator, and I finally beat it. I was so excited that I had to come back here and tell you guys (I haven't visited these boards for a long time, good to see they're still going :)

Wow.
Welcome back to the Fungi Forums, person who joined a long time ago! :P
btw, congratulations for beating the Lost Levels! I'm still stuck on a level in World 3, and I can't continue because I no longer own any Nintendo handhelds older than a DS. :( Emulator sounds like a fun idea, though...
-
Congratulations, Quasar! I never got a chance to play the Lost Levels, but I imagine they were extremely diffucult. Good work!
Oh, and thanks for coming back! It's great to see the oldies make a return. Will you be returning permanently or just for a little while?
-
Lost Levels is a great game because you see Super Mario Bros., with minimal additions, and then level designs that look like some cruel joke.
-
I'm still troubled by the harsh winds in world 6 (Yes, wind will blow later in the game).
PS: Congrats! Quasar!
-
Awesome. I got stuck on world 6 and never continued. This gives me motivation!!
-
4-4 is by far the hardest level of the game up until 8-3.
Nice work, though. SMB2J is quite a hard game... though I wish more Mario games had that difficulty.
-
No you don't.
-
Way to go SushieBoy! Tell 'em his real thoughts!
-
No you don't.
Grrr, I hate it when people do that.
-
No you don't.

Don't even get me started on the windy levels.
-

Agreed. The so called "challenge mode" of New Super Mario Bros. was a complete joke to us expecting a challenge.
-
No you don't.
No I don't..........I mean, yes I do! Now I don't even know my real thoughts anymore.
-
I found the SMBDX version of SMB2J much more...possible? than the SMAS version. From what I've heard (and experienced), the mechanics are different in SMAS, which I find much more difficult. Also, I don't remember those annoying winds being in SMBDX.
I was able to beat SMB2J in DX several years ago, which overjoyed me; however, I've never been able to beat it in SMAS. Then again, I kind of gave up with that before I even got DX.
So, congrats. Beating it and in the SMAS version is quite a challenge.
-
I can never beat it, the data always seemed to erease just by bumping into it by accident.
-
I've never played this game. Maybe they'll sell it as one of those online Wii games one can download.
-
It's a possibility. Maybe we'll get the really real true reality version of SMB2, from the Famicom.
I hope they don't rule that out just because it's called the NES section.
-
Famicom Disk System*
-
Im stuck at 8-4, I cannot seem to find a way to beat it. Im playing it on the all star version for the SNES.
-
I have a similar story like this. I bought Pokemon Blue out of sheer boredom and beat it, years after I had played my first Pokemon game.
-
The SMAS SMB/SMB2J physics are messed up; Mario bounces downward after hitting a brick instead of continuing slight upward motion.
SMBDX SMB2J did not have "those annoying winds", although they were supposed to be there.
-
Hmm, those levels weren't designed to be hard without winds, it should be a breeze.
Pun needed.
-
You might say that on SMBDX they... broke wind?
-
Even so, the game still didn't stink.
-
Yeah, but I think that the wind really blows.
On a vaguley related note, I still haven't beaten the original SMB. Please, no one spoil the (surely epic and climactic) ending for me!
-
I haven't beated SMB either. This means I don't stand a snowman's chance in Lethal Lava Land of beating SMB II.
-
I haven't either, so I always do this: Slow down, don't run like the wind through the levels.
Running out of pun ideas!
-
Well, you sure shouldn't play it in Chicago.
Y'know...'cause it's the windy city?
-

Lethal Lava Land? *Goes to Cool, Cool Mountain and makes a snowman, then brings it back to LLL, where it melts instantly.*
Wow, he was right. It didn't have a chance.
-
Uh, Tall Tall Mountain wasn't a snow level. You're probably thinking of Cool Cool Mountain.
-
Joke FAILED
-
yeah, I went back and fixed it. Sometimes I wonder if I'm just getting dumber and dumber every day.
-
I think it would've melted on the way to Lethal Lava Land.
-
Not if you ran fast enough.
-
Snowman's can't run.
-
Snowman is cannot run?
-
If there's an incline they can roll their body parts.
-
Well, assuming this hypothetical snowman is in a state matching that of Steven Hawking's theory of instantanious transportation, said snowman's snow particles would be kicked up into the wind, combining with nearby floating pencil shavings and some green lighting. The particles would hit the light at the right angle and would create a large dimensional rift, which would, theoretically, release a friendly Cacodemon named Jim-Bob, who would carry the snowman to his hypothetical destination, which in this scenario is Glenellyn, Illinois.
-
I beat every single Mario game that I have, and I think I have a lot. The Lost Levels was a challenge at first, but then it got easier and easier. It's hard and better than the original Super Mario Bros. The SMBDX doesn't have the wind like the SMAS version does, though.
-
Why are you bumping all these threads?
-
This is borderline unacceptable.
