The Most Unique Levels in Every Mario Game

Hey guys welcome to another video where today I want to go over some of the most unique, weirdest and insane levels in the entire Mario franchise. I tried to find the absolute best while also including NSLU as that specific entry is absolutely wacky. I hope you guys enjoy and please like, comment and subscribe!

    an interesting thing you could do for a special video is a “first appearance” video where you show of the first ever appearance of everything in the series like first goomba appearance or first brick stuff like that! it would be a very long video but would be a great homage to mario

    You can make more videos by categorizing by type, like power ups, enemies, etc, and limiting length by only counting things that appeared at least twice. That can be capped off by a video about stuff that only appeared once.

    I think the most unique level in Super Mario Bros. is World 4-1. You can hold down the run button and basically just play it like a rhythm game. You never need to stop or slow down or turn around. You can clear the piranha plants without waiting for them, just barely. You just need to keep running. It's my favorite level in the game.

    4:40 They're not bonus stages. Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels is the original Super Mario Bros 2, as released in Japan. The game was deemed too hard for the American public and too similar visually, so Nintendo picked an already existing game (Doki Doki Panic), changed a couple things here and there, added characters, and done: Super Mario Bros 2 for America and Europe.

    I actually think Sirena Beach is more unique than Pinna Park, but that’s just me. It also could be my inner adult appreciating relaxing at a hotel (okay, so it’s reportedly haunted, but that aside) over an adrenaline pumping amusement park. Don’t get me wrong, I’ll go if someone buys me a ticket or my stepdaughter asks to go, but I’ll buy a couple nights at a Home2 quicker than I will Six Flags tickets. If I could afford being a frequent cruiser, I’d purchase cruise ship tickets faster than both, though, so I’m sure you guys can guess my favorite Mario Kart level.
