Guess who beat New Super Mario Bros Wii without autoplay!

Long long ago Osiris accused me of being the reincarnation of Hitler for even entertaining the idea of a game helping me through the difficult parts. He said that I don’t believe in working hard for the things I want and all I care about the destination (never you mind that I’ve personally produced every episode of Villainy INC for 2 and a half years now and he quit…). Well guess who saved the princess without Luigi taking over once!

I’d be lying if I say I wasn’t tempted to use the super guide on some of the levels. This game can get unforgivably hard. There’s parts where you’ll just die, and die, and dieeeeeeeeeeee. Sometimes it’s just a screen of bullet bills flying across the screen and you have to make your way through. Also if you play an ice level without a penguin suit you can expect a level of nothing but sliding into every conceivable danger imaginable. Oh and lava as a one hit kill has to be one of the greatest sins in gaming. There were even a few levels were I surprised myself with how many swears I could string together after I died.

But in the end this is a completely beatable game. Almost every level has a “trick” to it that not only makes progressing through it easier, but also more fun. This game really doesn’t need the super guide, but I can totally understand if people use it.

All in all this a great Mario Bros game and I highly recommend it. It plays and feels just like Super Mario Bros 3 and World and made me feel all fuzzy inside.
