The Best and Worst Levels in Every Mario Game

- Hey guys welcome to an absolutely massive video where I go over the best and worst levels in each and every Super Mario entry. I had two separate videos on each topic in the past but decided they needed a major upgrade and needed to remake them into one definitive one. I hope you enjoy this video as much as I do and please like, comment and subscribe!

There's not even as many clouds as I expected either. There's not even as many clouds as I expected either.
Wow you’re right. Wow you’re right.
Good point. Good point.
So true. So true.
Probably a mistake in editing. 2 takes ended up in the final video.
I'm gonna go get the papers get the papers.
Grand finale galaxy was actually the perfect end to super mario galaxy. Where the beginning of the game has you waking up to a single Luma in a lone galaxy, the ending shows you the fruits of what you've done- a party, surrounded by your friends, the people you've saved. It's very heartwarming and just made Rosalinas message at the end of the game hit so much more.
agreed
Yeah why the heck does he keep ripping on it, and half this video is just talking about the same stuff he complained about for his "easiest/hardest" video.
True

There's not even as many clouds as I expected either!
Did he just say “it’s strange there’s not as many clouds as I expected either” twice?
yup yup
No
No, he did not. No, he did not.
What I think happened was that he wasn't happy with how he said it the first time and he immediately took a double take but forgot to edit it in post.
yes, he said it twice
yes he said it twice
Gotta say I heavily disagree about Grand Finale being galaxy’s worst. It’s not amazingly impressive, but the chill vibe fit the game. The real worst level was Snow Cap Galaxy. Star Bunnies in the Snow is just not fun, even when knowing where they are.
I actually like the Grand Finale Galaxy. It's really chill and nice to see how it all started
The worst for me is Snow Cap Galaxy definitely
Yeah, like any good storytelling, ending with an epilogue instead of ending on a climax is somewhat a necessity (makes me wanna make a more NSFW analogy but this is CZcams
I really love the list. Super Mario Odyssey had so many amazing levels, and it's kind of nice how even the worst one is just short and plain.
putting the rainbow levels as your least favorite level is like putting the toad houses as your favorite
Same with corona mountain and cloud kingdom
@@VardrunCRidleyKnight I’m sorry, do you think corona mountain is easy?
For Super Mario Odyssey, excluding those which serves as Boss Stages, my hated Kingdom is Lake Kingdom. I felt the region was way too small compared to the others. Seaside Kingdom was better as there's much to explore especially underwater.
Lake Kingdom feels so claustrophobic I don't blame you for the longest time. I said Lost Kingdom on my end for awhile because of the instant-kill poison but i grown to love the platforming challenges it presents because of it.
What about snow kingdom. It sucks
What? Lake Kingdom is one of my favorite while Seaside Kingdom felt much more compact and boring. Heck I thought you were talking a put seaside kingdom when you said lake kingdom since I tend to mix up the two.
Super Mario Odyssey is my favorite mario game (not counting spinoffs) so it's hard to find which kingdom I don't like.
Dark side will probably be my least favorite but if we're not counting that, then probably Bowser Kingdom. Just because it isn't even the final kingdom and I feel we could've had the Moon Kingdom be Bowser final obstacle. Why did we need Bowser Kingdom?
Feel like the kingdom should've just been an extra kingdom centered around chinese design instead of making it Bowser focus.
Also, didn't like the bird type enemy gameplay all that much.
I agree Lake is kinda bad, like I get it's a Lake and not a huge area but my first playthrough I remember getting a Cheep Cheep and then.. finding the edges and thinking "that's it?" legit the most memorable thing was one of the sub areas with the zippers.. which is bad since that doesn't really include the main thing from the kingdom.. the water.. also sucks it's paired with Wooded as your choices, one of the larger kingdoms with tons to do.. and since you are forced to do both anyways it falls short..
At least speedrunners pick it since it's small and (if glitches involved) can be used to skip to metro and stuff
"Big Island", from SMB3, I feel, inspired Mario 64's devs for making Tiny-Huge Island, as it uses a similar gimmick of having everything much larger than Mario. And, if I recall correctly (correct me if I'm wrong, it's been so long since I've played to that point in SMB3), using pipes on Big Island, at least in one of the levels, also lets you shift everything from big to small, kinda like Mario 64's Tiny-Huge Island.
You're mostly correct; Only correction is that SMB3 uses doors instead of pipes

Haha
Strongly agree with Donut Plains 1 in SMW, but I disagree with your first pick. Navigating those ghosts in water is not what I consider good Mario gameplay. Other levels I would pick as the best would be the bridge level with the secret exit to Soda Lake which includes the iconic Yoshi sacrifice (or being a cape master) sequence, and is just a fun crazy level in general with all the saws and ropes and moving parts. Another is the Chocolate Island level with many variable routes decided by your actions and other factors and multiple exits, that one is really cool. Honestly, I would pick any of the Ghost Houses in the game over the Ghost Ship level, they are all super creative and tricky, and one of them to represent that and how original they were when the game came out (they seem like something that Mario has always had now, but people forget they were invented by Super Mario World, and blew kids' minds back when it first came out, so one of those should be on the list.
True the Cheese Bridge level is honestly super memorable and is where a lot of people's mind comes to when creating stages in Mario Maker (track level with 3 platforms all moving together)
I don't know why I did this as a kid, but trying to do 7-4 for the original without volume was torture
On Super Mario All-Stars at least.
on the actual original sounds don’t matter
...because there aren't sounds indicating the right/wrong path at all.
14:19 I wouldn't call it the worst - but the most disappointing. You do all that work to unlock it, and then it isn't much.
In 6 Golden Coins I'd thought the Star level was with up on the top tier list cause of the relaxing way it plays with the chill music.
12:55 I love how you didn't mention that you turn rooms upside down, the most memorable part
nsmbds enthusiast here
8-8 is one of my favorite levels but honestly i completely understand hating it. my biggest problem with the level is how one of the starcoins requires a mini mushroom, avoiding falling debris while mini is... annoying, to say the least. doesnt help with the kab-ombs running right at u if they get ignited.
the main appeal in the level for me is speedrunning it. i love taking a blue shell to that level just to run thru it, its always an exhilarating experience for me and imo its one of the most fun levels to do so in. (that might influence my love for it a bit honestly, but yknow.)
also, i loved the grand finale galaxy in galaxy. it just felt rly pleasant and a nice sendoff to a stellar game, its not much but, does it need to be? galaxy already has the most climactic final boss ever, so i think it's fine to have a nice relaxed level as a sendoff.
I actually like Cloud Kingdom for how peaceful it feels. I like its sub areas, too.
My least favorite is Ruined Kingdom due to the wasted potential.
I feel like hating something for missed potential is a bit odd. Like if there is missed potential then there is still good things about it, right? No hate to you though
@@dominic7004 when something has a Missed potential, you feel angry, that what end up happening, is a Final product, that no one would remake, which makes you upset, because you see that there could've been done more.
Sometimes you hate something, because you are upset, that they are not as perfect, as they can be
I wish he wouldn't have included cloud kingdom because it is clearly not intended as a full area. Agreed though I just do not like the vibe of ruined kingdom
@@dominic7004 Seriously when I landed on Ruined Kingdom, I thought it was going to be like New Donk City. A world unexpectedly put in the game that looks different from what you expect from a Mario game and that dragon boss had me more excited. The screen panning over the world while you land didn't help either because it made it look like there would be more to explore than what was given. Than I defeated the dragon (who felt easier to defeat than Bowser) and realized that was all the kingdom was. Didn't really like the sub areas as much as Cloud's either.
This was better than I expected, thought it was just gonna be two levels per game. I liked the longer list
My least favorite in Mario 1 is 8-3, simply because of the trauma all those grounded hammer brothers caused 5-year-old me. Though I understand why a lot would dislike 7-4 more. The correct path through the level is very awkward. My cousin called me long-distance (yeah, this was the early 90s, hehe) just to ask me for the solution to that level after she learned I could beat the game. My favorite level from this game is actually 6-3.
I actually liked 7-2 in Mario 2 as it had so much territory to explore, not to mention it was exciting to know I was almost to the end. It might even be my favorite from the game. Least favorite: 5-1.
Yeah, and I'm with the pack on Tubular. 😤
My favorite stages in new Super Mario Bros 2 have to be the Canon levels because they're different than the other new super Mario bros games. Also I really like Flower World - 1 just because of the background and I don't know if you would count the DLC but I like a lot of the DLC stages too
Mario Galaxy 2 was so good man.
Ah yes “rescuing” the penguin. What a delightful memory. Yeet
I am started to get a bit of nostalgia, good old days watching your videos. 😃
I forgot that this dude made content, glad I came back to this. You're pretty consistent dawg.
keep doing what you do your content is amazing even re making list that arent personally biased
I think Freezeflame doesn't fully utilise its theme as only one of it's main stars actually uses the fact both fire and ice are together in the same galaxy. Stars 1 and 2 are just a regular ice level and fire level respectively. Still a very fun galaxy but could have been done better.
Super Mario Land 2 has no bad zones, but the best is probably Tree Zone. Also, the tutorial level, because the music kicks ass. Worst is orobably one pf the secret levels where the screen moves behind you.
Man, I just don’t get all the hate for New SMB 2. I love how the focus on coin collecting changes how you approach Mario (even though the theme seems more Wario-esque). Plus, the golden fire flower is one of the most fun OP power-ups in all of Mario.
Yep, you know I even distinctly remember going into the game not expecting it to be that great for whatever combination of reasons, and that vanished once I started playing it, because it was just so much fun. I wish I could remember it better to say more specifically, as I only played through it one time when it came out, but I remember it being a great game and surprising me with how much fun I had with it. I wonder if the negativity has any relation to the general reasons (that I can't remember, lol) I went into it expecting nothing special, though...?
The hate is definitely from the fact that it's a part of the new super mario bros series which had too many games coming out at the time.
Also, comparatively speaking, it seems to be the most uninspired and uncreative game in the new super mario bros series.
With the only "gimmick" being coins and the game reusing art style and music from new super mario bros wii.
Also, in 2012 Nintendo released New Super Mario Bros U in the same year, making it seem like people are seeing the same game over and over again. To make matters worse, next year they released New super luigi u which is just another new super mario bros game.
So, it looks like a rehash to the naked eye.
I don't think anyone hates it from a gameplay point of view, just from a rehash point of view.
The obvious contender for SMB3 worst level would be the level where the friggin' SUN dive bombs you from the sky and tries to murder you. Childhood = traumatized.
it's a little scary but the level is mercifully short, if you spend most of the level running you'll be able to get to the end after only 2-3 swoops from the sun. on top of that, you can kill the sun with a koopa shell.
Go really fast yo, if you jump at the end of the row of blocks on the ground at full height and just keep holding the jump button you will always land directly on the koopa at the next set of rows and this will happen as the sun swoops so you dodge it perfectly. This section is like 70% of the level as well considering it happens twice.
you nailed my favorite for SMW. That level is basically a playground, even though easy to say that the whole game is a playground, where you can go back over and over and it doesn't get old. The only way I beat Tubular myself was to bring in a blue Yoshi and fly my way through by eating koopas.
Honestly this guy sounds almost exactly like tennis ball from bfdi. Neat
The 3D Land one had the opposite problem, it was just too easy. Cloud Kingdom feels like a cop out and it would be cool to see some “actual” worst nominees for this and especially Galaxy where I loved the Grand Finale Galaxy. But this was a great topic and I appreciate the lengths gone to to include even the likes of Land 2 and Lost Levels
I actually made a couple videos like this for Sonic. Best and Worst levels and Best and Worst bosses. Cool video. I agree with several choices.
Freeze flame is my favorite too and partially because of the speed run starts. I also love melty molten. It’s the last main course and very fun and challenging. I also just like fire lol.but really I love every state (I guess besides sea slide?) but yeah Mario Galaxy 1 is my second favorite Mario game After odyssey
16:51 Similar to the Toy Time Galaxy equivalent in Galaxy 1 - Luigi's Purple Coins, which a lot of people dread, as well.
Champions Road is too good of a level, glad you put that there
The top-down Zelda-like mechanic was not just used in 3D Land. It was brought back in one of the levels in 3D World.
Makes sense that Corona Mountain is the worst stage in Mario Sunshine. After all, it's not fun to get Corona...
15:05 this was straight up a memory unlocked I remember playing this game from a friend who had the game on her wii and her, my brother, her sister and I would play this lvl it was so chaotic and so fun New Super Mario Bros Wii can never be replaced
6 - 2 in mario 2 was one of my favorites as well. Just a fun and different game mechanic.
6:27 And a lot of people HATE that level because it is so unforgiving with the jumps!
World 8 Tank actually gave me multiple seizures due to the screen flash.
Why on Earth would Nintendo think that was a brilliant idea to flash the screen every second?
boom
Freezeflame Galaxy? That’s an… interesting choice for sure.
Really? It’s on the top of most lists I saw and I love it too
@@Copycat_YT Eh, idk, maybe I'm an outlier, but I think it's a pretty mid-tier galaxy. I much prefer Gusty Garden, Ghostly, and Toy Time.
4:01 Oh yeah, I love that level - and the mechanism it introduces!
Me, when he mentions 3/4 of the “worst”levels: “Aw, I love that one!”
Wow, 😮 early very early. Great video🎉
That face that the level in New Super Mario Bros Wii that has the ice acting as your platforms to walk and run on and then the fire piranha plants firing and melting them as you try to get through the level (forgot the number of this one, but I know it's world 9/special world) isn't considered the worst in that game just reels me because that level is literally *Hell* when trying to get the star coins. And, honestly, even just in general. It's the one my dad and I especially hate doing whenever we decide to do a new playthrough of the game.
If I may make a suggestion for what other remake you can do how about revisiting the best and worst things in general about every Mario game
Freezeflame Galaxy is an interesting pick for best from Galaxy- but it’s nice to see it getting some love!
In 3D Land's 5-2, right before you get the second star coin, you can even hear Zelda's item collect sound effect if Fire Mario lights up the torches
There’s not as many clouds as I expected either. There’s not as many clouds as I expected either.
I love the raining debris-levels.
super mario sunshine was definitely the pinball one and the squid racing one where you have to get under a certain time limit.
SMW - just want to say I successfully personally guessed that you might mention "2-1", or Donut Plains 1 haha. Extremely fun and iconic level. You are correct, there's so many good ones that it's hard to pick. I'm going to throw in there the last castle before Bowser. It takes the snake block mechanic from castle 5 (sorry it's been so long since i played the game I can't remember which Koopa Kids were which castle besides Iggy XD) and ups the ante further. I found it to be a fitting last castle before big Bowser's Castle.
As far as Tubular, this will be no surprise, but personally for me , this was the hardest SMW level I ever played. I'm 32 now, I played this game a ton in the 90's as a kid. Tubular would piss me off so bad, I thought, "Jesus Christ they really packed the heat for this one". But man it is SO SATISFYING when you finally crush it, because the OTHER Star World worlds are also unique and interesting, but they can be beaten much easier, and so yes it makes Tubular unanimously , notoriously infamous hahaha.
Edit: I think another one people hate (there's almost no "bad" level in this game), if I remember correctly, is Soda Bridge 1. Is that the one with the multiple chainsaws that, to get the secret ending, you have to fly under them all and under the end tape? Or either that level with the ridiculous amount of traversable paths you can turn on or off on the platform? Those are just annoying levels, but they're still not bad by any means.
Edit 2: Ok SM64 was a big part of my life too haha just want to comment on it real quick. I think Bobomb Battlefield and Cool Cool Mountain are indeed universally loved. One that I personally disliked, and I think it is another level many enjoy, is Wet-Dry World. Just for me personally, figuring out the correct water level for what you want to do breaks the flow of the action a bit. And also, i just don't like the environment and decor. Idk. Both areas of the stage feel like a bland, enclosed block of area with things. Also, Tall, Tall Mountain was not one of my favorites either. Let me be clear, there are no bad levels in this legendary game. I do like the level, but, idk, it's just bland to me, it's kind of linear, I do enjoy the slide section, and who doesn't like the monkey!!
Great video man!
Haha, it's so funny how people's opinions can differ or be similar... I very much agree with everything you say about SMW, except that I put that Soda Bridge (think it's something else like Butter or Chocolate lol, and it secret exits to "Soda Lake") level you mentioned as one of the best levels in the game, just because I think all the moving parts are neat and fun, and the Yoshi Sacrifice part of it for the secret exit is so iconic lol.
I also super agree about Wet-Dry World in 64, it is by far the most uninspired and annoying level to me, I honestly forget it's in the game sort of until getting to it because it's so forgettable. The Bowser's Sub world is kinda like that too for me, it just has that neat part with whirlpool at the start. The only thing I don't agree with you about is Tall Tall Mountain, it's always been my favorite of the later set of levels... but that's what's so great about these games, we both love them and have such a strong formative connection to them, we can just think about every level in each game, and remember all the highs and lows that they brought to us... and there's really almost no wrong answer, like you say, there are no actually bad levels in any of these games basically, and to a large extent this really does come down to personal taste, and I can't imagine anyone wanting to get seriously riled up or argue about this... it's just fun and nice feeling to hear what someone else's experience of the game was like, and what parts of it stood out the most to them personally.
Chất lượng, Sỹ Luân chắc thích bản Cover này lắm này! Chúc mừng em cùng toàn thể Ekip F. Studio
For me, the best of 64 is that first level. I already felt the nostalgia. As for worst, easily the 100 coin star. Specifically I’m the underwater level where if you mess up getting maybe at least one coin, you won’t have enough and will have to start over
i don't agree with many pics, but i was very surprised with your sm world pics. i hate the sunken ghost ship, but i get why you like the concept. i just didn't enjoyed it.
and i really like the tubular level. i dont think its difficult and i really like the level.
also. i like 8-8 in nsmb, i just hate the starcoin where you need a minimushroom, but thats in many levels in the game, but i just hate the final level in the game.
but thats my opinion. good video :)
In NSMBDS, the real World 8-Castle comes after 8-4 and before 8-5. You fight Dry Bowser at the end. The course you’re talking about here is 8-Bowser Castle or 8-Castle 2
21:42 Do you know who else suffers from dementia?
Do you know who else suffers from dementia?
17:36 Wouldn't be a problem for Nico though
Lol
Super Mario 3 is my favorite installments in the 2D series, but I HATE HATE HATE 3-8. There’s a lot of levels that can be really chaotic and grindy, but nothing comes close to how frustrating the tide levels are. Every single time I get to it I use a power leaf or the cloud to avoid the headache.
People really like the slide in tall trunk galaxy?? That was the most infuriating part of the game ever for me as a kid
It was so annoying
i had no idea people disliked smb2's 7-2, i always loved that stage as a finale.
I might need to think about this. Should a level be considered "worst" just because it's one of the hardest (and what would be my favorite of the hardest levels?)?
I love both the stages in Super Mario Land 2. If there's any level I don't like it's probably the submarine one
Nice vid! Here's my list, with only the games I'm super familiar with. Also, if my pick for a worst level is a small-scale level, I'll put it in parentheses next to a larger candidate for the title of worst.
Best SM64: Bob-omb Battlefield
Worst SM64: Tiny Huge Island (Secret Aquarium)
Best Sunshine: Noki Bay, although my actual favorite is Serena Beach
Worst Sunshine: Gelato Beach (Corona Mountain)
Best Galaxy: Freezeflame, with Deep Dark and Sea Slide coming close
Worst Galaxy: Gold Leaf I guess, though I am partial to it (Snowcap)
Best Galaxy 2: Fluffy Bluff
Worst Galaxy 2: Boulder Bowl (Upside Dizzy or Mario Squared)
Best Odyssey: Metro Kingdom, with Bowser's and Sand coming very close as well
Worst Odyssey: Mushroom Kingdom (Dark Side, it just feels so lazy, whereas Cloud at least has originality)
I'm sure my Mushroom Kingdom nomination for "worst" is gonna be controversial so I'll give some of my reasoning for those curious. Probably my biggest complaint is that it doesn't feel very true to the Peach's Castles of SM64 or Mario Kart 64, or to the Toad's Towns of Galaxy and Paper Mario. The castle interior is just one big, empty room, the outside areas don't have any returning elements from previous games (minus the bonus courtyard area), and this kingdom is the worst offender IMO of Odyssey's "island problem" design philosophy. I have more critiques I could give, but those are the main ones that seal the deal for me.
1-2 is always the first Super Mario Bros level I think of and definitely my favorite
Cloud Kingdom is literally the stage for a boss fight. It’s just supposed to be a short cutscene. It not meant to be an extravagant kingdom because you spend like 5 minutes total there.
What about Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island?!?!??!?! One of the best
16:50 for me the yellow platforms don’t disappear
as much as i love the spine coaster level in NSMBW, the skull coaster in Super is so underrated and probably my favorite in the game
One reason I like 8-7 so much in NSMBW is because it is the best stage for the multiplayer mode.
The hotel level (Sirena Beach, I believe?) is my favorite in Sunshine. Ironically, Pianta village is my least favorite. I dunno. I felt less attention to detail went into that one than the others in the game.
Hey, when will you make a video the most average level in each Mario game? Also my favorite level in Mario Galaxy 2 is Melty Monster Galaxy
would love to see you do this with donkey kong tbh
You forgot New Super Luigi U.
You should do a ranking of every stage in super Mario 64, then one for sunshine, then odyssey
I think 8-5 is way more fun, personally, I enjoy it a ton. U can just speedrun it, and go fast, but u need to control and adjust ur positioning because of the falling/rotating platforms.
To beat that airship, I would use a p-wing.
You mentioned the top down camera not being done after 3D Land, but 3D World had a level that does it as well
Theres not as many clouds as I expected either
How do you feel about the built-in levels from the Mario maker games?
My least favorite would be 8-2 from Mario Maker 3DS’s Challenge mode
21:43 He just said the same thing twice. Not to mention he said the same thing twice.
For SMB3, my most hated level has to be the world 7-fortress that was completely empty. It was just super creepy and confusing as hell for me. No enemies. No clues, just nothing but exploring.
That level also only gives you 200 “seconds” as well, for an open ended level it’s a weird choice that they gave it no time to be completed.
For the Galaxy games I liked Toy time Galaxy, the toy aesthetic was awesome, climbing the giant bowser robot and destroying it is memorable, and it was the only stage where the design allowed the Spring mushroom to be fun!
I hated the Dusty Dunes Galaxy with quick sand, it might be my boss, but I don’t Desert levels that don’t do something creative, and the comet for this one made me rage so hard it isn’t funny!
For Galaxy 2, puzzle plank was cool, but I loved throwback galaxy, it being one of the last levels of the main game was awesome, and it had enough new surprises to not be a rehash, plus unlike some other levels the difficulty is balanced while being fun!
In galaxy 2, I despised the level that was just like throwback galaxy, but instead of being a revamped remix, was a annoying rehash, Stone Cyclone Galaxy is CC annoying with how much it tests your patience, is difficult in an un fun way, and it was literally in the last game as a minor mission segment, meaning that it was not even a cool reference!
honestly when you got to mario 3 you should have just been like "all the levels are good, moving on"
Saving the baby penguin, sorry I mean throwing the baby penguin over the edge
More, more! 😀
im playing through sm3w for the first time rn and im on rammerhead reef. i was in shock
In mario 3 I don't hold the same fondness to giant world (world 4) as you do, although it was good. Favorite world of mine would be 5, both because it was split into 2 sections and the boot item you get in 5 - 2 I think it was.
While I won't deny Tubular sucks, there is a much easier way to do it than as balloon Mario.
Grab a blue Yoshi from Star World 2, then eat a Para-Troopa from the first swarm of them and just use Yoshi flight. You might also need a Cape Feather for slowed descent and you might need to time spitting out that first Koopa and eating another to prevent Yoshi from swallowing it and losing his flight permanently, but it beats dealing with Balloon Mario's awkward controls and utter inability to defend himself.
16:12 Yay! Yep, I really like that level!
Cool!!
They overcompensated for SMG by making Grandmaster Galaxy for SMG2 which was just ridiculous
Tall trunk galaxy was fun but maaaaan getting those purple coins were a bitch.
The Savannah level was super cool in 3d
World 8-4 is an absolute abomination of a level, and no one can change my mind.
For NSMB, my favorite has to be 2-3 or 6-6, and I have so many least favorites
I think that 9-2 for NSMBU is a good contender for worst stage. It's called, 'Run For It!" and it's a fitting name. The entire course is a P-switch run with tight jumps. At the end you even have moving platforms as well. Not alot of leeway is given for this course, and if you fail to make it to the next P-switch, then the blocks turn to coins. The anxiety-inducing P-switch timer in the background doesn't help making those tight jumps either. This level sucks.
I thought there was another Mariogame before Super Mario Bros. But i might be wrong and his Name was Jumpman. But i for example remember a one Level Game where you jump on Turtles with Mario. Very old Dos Era.
