I don’t agree with criticizing early stages for being “too simple” because the game is played by “returning players.” You have to remember, even though there’s been Mario games in the past, it’s still a brand new game that needs to start off easy for newer players.

I'm not sure how much I agree with the idea that Mario games are "mostly" played by returning players. But even if it's true, Nintendo markets and designs the games mainly for young and relatively inexperienced players. Something they have specifically said is that they try to assume every Mario game is going to be played as someone's first video game ever.

And they have a good point. My very first Mario game was Super Mario Galaxy. I don't know where it stands chronologically with all Mario games, but it was the 3rd 3D game released so you can have an idea. I wasn't in a position where i could get my hands on the copies and much less the consoles for 64 and Sunshine. It's unfair to expect every single person to have played all previous Mario games.

I think calling Bonus stages "boring" is unfair. They're not supposed to be challenging. They're supposed to be short and easy. Same goes for the switch palaces in SMW. Also, the most boring level in Super Mario Land 2 was "In the Trees". This is the level where you float through the tree sap and it is slow and tedious. Not to mention, you have to play it at least twice because it had a secret exit.

Can't agree with you on your choices for Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. Grand Finale Galaxy is a nice end game reward. It's a relaxing way of wrapping up the entire game. It also was clever for 3D Mario at the time with how the first level also ended up being the true final level. Snow Cap Galaxy is fine. I quite like that they threw in a homage to Super Mario 64 for Super Mario Galaxy 2. Also, they made some improvement to Whomp King. Sweet Mystery Galaxy is fine.

SM64 most boring world is Rainbow Ride. You literally just get on the carpet and wait, jumping occasionally to avoid something. And they didn't even make any music for it, they just reused the Secret Level music, and it get so annoying after you just sit there for a half hour or so with all the stars. I hate this song because of this level

The cool aspect to this stage that the carpets are giving you the safer options while skilled players can make use of the alternative routes without carpets (except for the Big House In The Sky, which is probably the worst star in the game)

SMW: The switch palaces are intended to be bonus stages, not actual levels. And the star in the underwater level is meant to be eaten by baby Yoshi to immediately grow him. SM64: Saying Dire Dire Docks is more boring than Wet Dry World is quite a hot take. SMS: Serena Beach is a haunted hotel on a beach with a beautiful sunset. It contains 2 great boss fights and a casino. How anyone can think it's boring is beyond me. SMG: Grand Finale Galaxy is meant as a nice reward for players who completed everything. It's meant to be a relaxing time where you can talk with characters you met during the game and just chill.

I was right there with you until the Grande Finale Galaxy. I mean, come on! I loved that place!

6:23 Bro…Dire Dire Docks is probably my favourite! You’re crazy!

Sirena beach in sunshine is oddly one of my favorite levels. Because its unique factor, where a majority of the shines are more puzzle based instead of platforming focused. Its a really interesting change of pace from previous levels

I like all the levels you chose for 3D World. IDK why I like them.

5:23. The star is for the yoshi to eat which instantly grows it up

In SMB3, I completely disagree with World 2-2, but that is because it has one of the most difficult white mushroom houses to unlock, which is how I always play the level.

As somone who is a lifelong Mario fan I think it's interesting to see someone else's thoughs on the worst Mario levels. I wouldn't mind another video like this sometimes.

If there’s a boring level in Yoshi’s Island, it’s one that focuses on Yoshi’s transforming into a helicopter or train. I remember Yoshi’s island being my favorite Mario game.

The hotel beach level in sunshine rocks. The indoor setting is unique in a series where we're mostly outside and exploring the hotel especially star 3 is always interesting. It also has one of very few shadow Mario chases that doesn't feel boring. While I don't think it's necessarily bad but noki bay in a few missions is a bit boring and somewhat annoying.

Sirena Beach got DONE DIRTY. Then you got Gelato Beach sitting over there looking like a test map.

I'm sorry but I actually really liked 9-3 of the lost levels because it was so weird, and world 9 was kind of an "extra" world anyway.

These “boring levels” you speak of are a cool down period in a very intense and demanding game.. best way to put it, and it was designed that way.

SMB3: The Hand Trap levels are basically the equivalent to the wandering [Weapon] Bros/Muncher stages in other worlds, and I don't think they should be counted as regular levels. Plus, it's a cool novelty to see all the different Bros together (and one of only two places Fire Bros. exist in the game at all). And it's weird that you criticize them by saying you can fly over them, then cut away right before a part where there's a wall that you can't fly over (and if you try to fly, it then kills your momentum and makes it harder to get under the wall, punishing players for trying to take the easy way out). Also, World 2-2 is one of only 7 stages in the game that lets you trigger a White Toad House. Collecting the coins on the moving platform (particularly considering the limited time associated with the P-Switch) is a decent challenge, especially so early in the game. Nothing revolutionary, but certainly enough to elevate it above the most boring stage in the game. Granted, it's not NECESSARY, but there are plenty of stages that are made interesting due to secrets or collectibles, rather than their main path/objective.

Serena beach was honestly peak for me in sunshine, surprised to see it on here.

the question mark levels in 3D land don’t rly count as levels tho…. you could’ve talked about actual levels, since the question mark boxes aren’t meant to be actual levels or exciting they’re just there to collect gold coins

SMG2: I mean, this kind of thing is obviously going to come down to opinion, but it feels like you had an idea in your head for what "Throwback" should be, and were just disappointed it wasn't that. I don't see anything particularly wrong or "boring" about focusing on one particular throwback level instead of doing a mash-up or whatever. Like, recontextualizing it by getting around with the Cloud Suit, revamping the Whomp King fight...it was a little nostalgia trip with a couple surprises thrown in, pretty much the ideal for a one-off idea like this. And I'm kinda struggling to understand why you're saying Whomp's Fortress is something we've seen over and over again. I mean, yes, a lot of people who have played Super Mario 64 have probably replayed it many times, but that's...kind of up to them? Ultimately, Whomp's Fortress has only been in SM64, SM64DS, and SMG2. When I think of something being "boring" because we've seen it a ton, I think of something like Green Hill or Chemical Plant in Sonic (or, to keep it Mario, SMB's 1-1).

The Lost Levels were also released as bonus content for Super Mario Bros Deluxe on the Game Boy Color, and the graphics weren't remastered as they were on the GBA

What I'd personally go with instead for Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 would be; Honeyclimb Galaxy for Super Mario Galaxy and Honeyhop Galaxy for Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Well, for SMG1 the most boring Galaxy is by far Sea Slide Galaxy: Its stars are : a race, another race, find silver stars, yet another race, the WORST and most BORING purple coins ever and... A pretty good secret star though. As for Mario 3D Land, 3-2 is my favorite level :c

Interesting take on this video. I agrees with most. But i tbink we should be mindful thst any of these Mario games can be a first for someone and their largest target are children/family games. So maybe a kid wouldnt kno already how to avoid the piranha plants, and thats ok. Would still loke to see vidoes like this in the future.

in SMB: 3 level 2-2, if you get every coin, it unlocks a bonus-game in the overworld; this adds a challenge because the p-block coins on the moving platform have to be collected all in one go

As Mario 3d Land’s number 1 fan, i have to say that the most boring level not being an auto scroll level is criminal. Take S2-1, this level is so long that i actually beat it crouched down.

I agree that NSMB 3-2 has Boring level Design but it is a very good level to farm points and 1 ups. It made it very special back then.

i like most of the levels you mentioned 😅 also i don't consider the switch palaces levels in SMW. they were fun, I always felt it was like a party when I was a kid and managed to finally find a palace

If you do the RPGs, then for SPM, be sure to include either the slave labor level or the final level (mainly for that annoying segment where you keep running around a series of rooms where everything looks exactly the same). Unless of course you just didn't find them as boring as another level in the game.

What was up with the texture of the little to castle after the flag pole for Mario Lost levels? World 9-3

I remember this super Mario bros, & the super Mario bros 2 & super Mario bros 3 I used to play that all the time

Yoshi's Island too good to be on this list. Yet another win for this unstoppable juggernaut.

In mario 3, World 2-2 has a secret where if you can get every coin, a bonus will appear after you finish the level

Anyone else feel like adding bonus rooms is kinda cheating? I don't consider those levels.

For Super Mario Bros Wonder I would have chosen that one level early on in the game (can't remember the name) whose Wonder mechanic just gives you a Starman and you sprint to the finish. Its visually appealing at first but on returning playthroughs it just feels like a waste of an idea for a Wonder Flower.

You neglected to mention the fact that you can swim right over Star World 2. I've never not done it.

Hey, what happened to the castle after the flagpole in World 9-3 in the Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels segment? Why is it all glitched like that?

That goddamn phantom manta was the bane of my youth for a more than considerable amount of time.

3-2 is designed that way to trick the player. If you don't get the star you can kick the koopas and get some 1ups.

in SMB1: 3-2 is supposed to be about kicking koopa shells into other enemies and there is at least one spot where you get a 1up from hitting enough enemies. You don't like the level because you are playing it wrong. And with five reused stages, you'd think you'd pick one of those. SMB2, I find some of the stages in world 3, 5, and 6 to be more forgettable. Like, 6-2 is bland and short, but no, you picked 6-1, a decent desert challenge. SMB3, the hand traps are supposed to be quick and give you leaves, which is important if you used the whistle to get to world 8. The one with the hammer bros is interesting, the other two are more bland. 2-2 is the player's second introduction to water after seeing small ponds in 1-5. Also, if you get all the coins on the platform, you get the white mushroom house. SMB3 generally has short levels so the themes it does, rarely lose their welcome. A lot of the autoscroll levels can be boring though. For SMW, the switch palace is about figuring out the puzzle with how the get the 1up, except for the first one, which is just coins and is bland. The second starworld level is more about getting the yoshi and finding the secret exit. Most of the starworld levels are not challenging as they are a puzzle to solve and novelty. I'm glad you are going to include Yoshi's Island going forward, I consider it SMB5 and Nintendo kind of sees it that way too. I think I agree with Dire Dire Docks. I was born in 1982 and I have far less nostalgia for the later Mario games as I didn't play the over and over. I did Sunshine once, Galaxy twice, Odyssey once, and most of the NSMB games once, except the one with all the coins. So I sometimes stop watching after SM64.

putting throwback galaxy is crazy bro

8:29 calling this boring is kinda missing the point You’re supposed to suck in the atmosphere and appreciate what’s around you, which is why you go around collecting the coins It’s a very interesting way of celebrating how far you’ve come, and I’d even say it’s a better reward than Galaxy 2’s perfect run, because it lets you relax and appreciate all the little intricacies of the game you spent so long to beat. You did it, you can relax now.

nooooo i love sirena beach

SMW: By far the most boring (for me) is Forest of Illusion 2 - it's the water level that takes fucking forever, has zero interesting or difficult parts, makes you wait multiple times for the urchins to pass, and if you're trying to do 96 exits you have to swim the entire thing twice because the secret exit is all the way at the end. I've hated this level for like 30 years.

I get a particular joy in grown ass adults forgetting that children exist and also play video games 😂

How did you find the world 9 in Lost Levels?

The very fact you meet a Fire Bro was reason enough for me to consider this level interesting in SMB3 Also, why do you tend to equate short with boring or forgetable? These are entirely different things. edit: Okay, the rest is even becoming less and less relateable... the SMB 9-3 was so strange to me, it became interesting and fascinating in itself. The Cave in SML1 is probably one of the best levels in my opinion in the entire game. The U boot Auto-scroller is probably the most boring, or the pyramide to me. In SMW calling Bonus Stages "boring" because "not much in there" is also kinda strange to me. And here as well. "empty" does not mean "boring". In most levels you just run around and collect things while dodging enemies. And again, the critic of "I wish they were longer"... what has "longer to do with "interesting"? There are a lot of long boring levels. In fact, having a very long level is a good sign it could be potentially boring. Maybe you missed the title and acutally meant "empty levels" idk. The Colorful Yoshis themselves are reason enough to find these stages interesting. In Sun Shine, and this is why I thought your Video is promising, the Beach area could qualify as the most boring one, not meaning it is boring, but it is the most linear one and has a lot of waiting due to the Sandbird. Why you critize The Hotel level for its ambiente, while this is the most detailed one, is beyond me. How this level is boring, I cannot relate at all. Maybe here too, you are looking for another word, such as "cozy" or "sleepy"? However, this, again, does not mean 'boring'. The Piranha Stage in NSMB was always one of the rather interesting ones. Is 8-2 with the switching water and repeating spiders really more interesting to you than a stage completely built on pipes with Piranha Plants from different angels and types? Or the 2-6 Stage on the moving platform? Your criticism here again is memorability and "too easy", which is, once again, not what the term 'boring' means. Basically same thing in NSMBW, it was more of the rather unique and explorative levels of the game. You say it is "boring" because "there is no ris anymore " (when you ahve a power up). Isn't the very fact you want to have a power up to make a level easier a good indicator this level is something special and engaging? This already has been an issue on your take in SMB3. I have no opinion on your take on SMG cause I don't like that game in general, and thus have nothing to say about it. At this point I also want to stop watching this video. I usually don't give dislikes on opinion videos, since various factors play into an opinion and taste is not subject to analysis, and to value the effort to put the video data together, but here, I make an exception. Not only can I not relate tot hem at all, the reasoning behind it makes no sense at all. It seems the criticism can be applied to other levels as well, but you choose to apply this to these ones (for example, a level gets too easy with a specific power up. Is it really something special to this one?) or it feels you had no idea what the level is about. Often, you even seem to miss your own aim for the video. When you say "boring" and then say "too easy" or "forgetable", but present it as not "boring at all", when there is something terribly wrong. I do not want to pull you down, but I think these things need to be said in order for better quality in future videos. Please don't take this personal, but as a few points to think about and what can be improved on future videos. I see the passion is here, but the structure is clearly lacking. Analyse the mistakes in this video and work on articulating yours thoughts, a skill coming in handy both in real-life as well as when making videos, and I am sure, your future videos will have a better like/view-ration. with best regards

Me: any level in Odyssey

The original have has a definite most boring level, and it ain't 3-2, it's 7-4. The maze aspect is poorly implemented here, notably worse than the 4-4 and 8-4 mazes, and even moreso, once you _do_ learn the route, there are barely even any token obstacles, save for the very beginning of the level, and Bowser at the very end. The level is just so... empty. Also, kicking Koopa shells is fun in and of itself, and that's the big appeal of 3-2! Definitely not the most boring level by any stretch. 😋
