I've gotten through all 96 exits in both SMW and SMA2. Tubular hangs me up the most, I think. And I think getting to the key or keyhole in one of the Valley of Bowser levels.

Something I've found fun to do is beat the game using as few of exits as possible. I think it summates to 13, but I'm not positive.

I'm anxious to try YIDS for the mere challenge of it. (Aside from the fact that Yoshi's Island is my favorite Mario platformer.)

Interestingly, I never realized Tubular was supposed to be the hard one.  I thought it was the forest one full of Bullet Bills.  Also, I love the first Special Zone stage.  It's so colorful and impossibly high.

The one with special berries is nice, too.  It's evening, and those sumo guys bring lightning down to the cool earth... And that secret cloud.

Lastly, I like the overworld itself--especially after a few minutes.

If you have the guts to NOT fly through Outrageous, be my guest.

I'm still just going to use the cape. :P

Difficulty order without "cheating":

Tubular >>>>> Outrageous >> Awesome >>> Groovy > Mondo >> Funky >>> Gnarly >>>>>>>> Way Cool

With "cheating" (flying over the level, other tricks, etc.):

Awesome > Tubular >>>>>>>>>> any other level

Yes, there's an "easier" way through Tubular that doesn't require the P-ballons. You cannot fly through the second half of Awesome (something I learned trying to 96-goal speed run the game).

For some reason, Tubular was never hard for me.  I had to try it a FEW times but..... Oh well I guess I'm just "speshal"...  And I've made it through all 96 exits as well.  I actually TRIED to beat outrageous without flying.  I think I made it about 1/2 of the way through....

I never had much trouble with Outrageous. Awesome however, had those tricky blocks at the end that I would slip off of.
As a game that requires six friends, an HDTV, and skill, I can see why the majority of TMK is going to hate on it hard.

I've gotten 96 exit saves repeatedly, and don't remember too much trouble but darned if I can remember which dude-ical names goes to which wacky stage.

My real question is:

Has Insane Steve beaten YIDS with his feet yet?

I tried playing GCN with my feet.  The controllers are feet friendly.  Try it!

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Have you ever done a speed run taking that route? I have, and I've gotten it finished in about 5 minutes.. Does anybody know what the world record is, if there is one?

The current tool-assisted record is 10 min, 29.7 sec.?  Don't even try saying you've gotten it faster than that.

Current real record is 11 min, 9 sec.

That's because they're (almost drastically) easier.

No, it's because I play them more.
