tell me about it 3:40
any level that would be hard for me
The Perfect Run was legitimately one of the most frustrating but rewarding levels I ever played in any Mario game - it absolutely deserves its top spot here.
Mario Galaxy 2 really deserves an HD release because it legitimately has some of the best level design in all of Mario.
Mario is truly timeless.🍄
I agree.
Absolutely. 💯 %
I was hoping you would bring up the pachinko level in Super Mario Sunshine. Not just because of how much of a pain it is to beat, but because of that episode of Game Grumps where Arin attempted it. That meltdown he had, when he just barely missed the shine and died was a real side splitter.
#9
Not only that but the controls are godawful
Tbh that level isn’t that hard once you get the controls down, the game just doesn’t explain them at all
@@DoctaSalt you could get used to the controls, but they are pretty bad
@@DoctaSalt Even if you kinda understand how that pachinko level works, the controls are still super janky.
Despite hard levels, i still love Super Mario games.
Nothing we can't look passed
You make it sound like every level in Mario is hard. They aren't. There are hardly any hard levels in Mario games. Mario games are very easy but they are very fun
@@Sly88Frye
Except these levels and probably more.
@@mattiasolsson1523 they're right. mario games are generally easy. the levels in this video are the exception, not the rule.
also, since when did hard equal bad?
@@jclkaytwo no one even said that
Definitely agree with the world 8 airship. I always saved a p wing for that level.
I can't do it without a p went but I much prefer to just Coast through that stage
Whoever played these levels is mad skilled and earns my respect
I’ve played and lost.
I’ve played and completed at least 15 of them
I either haven’t gotten to them or haven’t finished them. Or don’t have the game
Thanks. Im great
Super Mario Galaxy 2's very last level is like pulling teeth.
OUCH!! that would hurt
The lily pad level from Mario Sunshine, is absolute hell and quite possibly the most infuriating level ever put into a Mario game
No way was it more infuriating than that fucking pinball level.
@@videogameguy101 It’s definitely worse, because the process of getting there is hell. Even if you don’t accidentally fall while hopping across boats on Yoshi, it’s still such a long trip.
The pachinko shine is annoying, but it’s easily accessible from Delfino Plaza, so you can just keep trying without worrying about lives
@@videogameguy101 as amanda said, you have to take a couple boats around the hub world as yoshi, so it takes like 5 minutes to get back to the level after every failed attempt. it's infuriating and I drowned my yoshi so many damn times.
I had to use a glitch remaining in the Switch version to complete it. Otherwise it would be impossible 💀
I refuse to believe anyone from Nintendo, play tested half these levels in this game before releasing it to the general public.
About rank 4: How can they say that C-3 is "not even the most brutal stage the game has to offer" and then not bring "the most brutal stage" in this list on rank 3, 2 or 1?
That's exactly what I was thinking!
D-4 is the hardest, harder than perfect run by a long shot, a lot of levels in lost levels are harder than perfect run, I’ve beaten both games
Who else remembers the old version with only ten picks? I’ll always remember that opening line: “Mamma Mia! Where did all my lives go?” Simply put, hearing some portions of that video reworked for this one felt very nostalgic.
Every level Fludd gets taken from you - Super Mario Sunshine.
I cannot count how many times I almost broke my Wii remote in rage after failing some of these levels
Ahahah i could imagine that.
Yup especially Mario galaxy purple coins and special world in galaxy 2. Fk that 😂
Champion Road - Super Mario 3D World your only chance of winning this level is to hold on to your flying Powerups as long as possible.
Took me years to beat the perfect run, but felt soooo satisfying to finally beat.
I beat it when i was a child, didn’t realize it was hard?
i don't even remember how many lives i lost beating the perfect run but i definitely say it was over 100
Lily Pad River not being top 10 is INSANE
I know, there's so much wrong with this list
Its not terribly hard just annoying and janky
NOW! We need a top 10 or a top 20 of the hardest DKC Trilogy Levels. Just the 1994-1996 levels.
Country returns and tropical freeze deserve as well, they are also pretty hard But very great level design.
Whatever the name of that fucking level was where the lights keep going out.
Having beaten all the ones here that I have played, most of the list, makes me feel better about the time I spent doing it. (Of the top four only one of them I haven't played)
Lily Pad Ride in Super Mario Sunshine. What makes this level a pain is that long ride you have to take on The boat with color Yoshi just to get to the level & if you die you've got to do the Yoshi ride all over again.
One thing not mentioned about the lily pad level in Sunshine is the troll the game does to you with the pipe at the end of the level. Since it is basically impossible to get all the red coins on your first attempt given the insane difficulty and finicky controls, pretty much 100% of players will reach the end platform and encounter the pipe where they will presumably think “ok, I’ll just go in there to return to the start of the level and try again.” Nope, it exits the level completely and kicks you out away from the island entrance. This wouldn’t be so bad except for the convoluted process one has to go thru just to get to the level of using yoshi to ride a chain of extremely slow moving boats across the water, and any missed jump is instant death for yoshi. The whole process is simply maddening and as the frustration of multiple attempts mounts, it only increases the impatience you feel, thus leading to a rush to try and get thru it and a vicious cycle of mistakes.
I got trolled by the level ending pipe the first time I played it when the game was initially released and immediately rage quit in anger. Eventually I did beat it and then didn’t play the game again for over a decade until it was re-released on the Switch…at which point I had forgotten the issue with the end of level pipe and got trolled by it again. The second it happened I immediately remembered my previous ordeal with the level and felt whatever the opposite of nostalgia is. I had no option but to reenact younger me’s reaction, and promptly rage quit the level for what I hope is the final time!
The one that gave me the most problems was that bullet bill level in Super Mario Odyssey. I was getting pissed 😂
Breakdown Road: Final Challenge
@ZephyrionGames bro I'm TELLING YOU 😭. I spent like 3 or 4 days on that and I had to keep coming back or I would lost my sanity 😂. There was literally ZERO room for error. I usually made it through the first time. It was always after coming back the other way and the giant one chasing me where the problems came 😭
Long Journeys End in Odyssey was challenging for sure but at least I can say I’ve cleared that level twice.
To this day I have yet to complete The Perfect Run, Champions Road and Special 8-Crown
I keep seeing "Red Coins over the Rainbow" as being on lists of Mario levels that are hated/hard but I completely disagree, I think it's pretty easy, all you have to do is keep grabbing the wing cap & use the cannons to fly around the level, simple! I can understand that Mario being hard to control while flying can be an issue but I still find that level easy.

I personally found champions road to be harder than the perfect run. Perfect run I beat when I was a freshman in high school and it took me a little over 20 attempts when I beat champions road as an adult with almost 60 attempts. Shoutout to levels like mystery house marathon in 3d world and vanishing road rush in Mario odyssey, 2 insanely difficult levels for me as well
I felt the same I’ve beaten the perfect run at at least twice but I can’t say I’ve revisited champion road since
In the lily pad level in Sunshine the lily pad actually respawns after it disintegrates. While tedious, if you miss a coin you can walk back to the beginning and try again to get the coins that were missed
I really think Rainbow Ride is more difficult than Tick Tock Clock. I agree that Wing Mario Over the Rainbow was infuriatingly hard. Tower of the Wing Cap is a level I consider very hard because of both difficult flying controls and the fact that you had to get 8 red coins before the Wing Cap wore off due to it being impossible to fly back up to the elevation of the red coins without a cannon.
The Pachinko Machine - Super Mario Sunshine. Can't tell you how tries winning that took.
About to head into the Mario movie
I just came back from the Mario Movie
Lots of good memories with these levels.
I like how watchmojo reused the same script from their old top 10 hardest Mario levels video from 2016.😂
I remember the "this why many angry video game nerd would consider this level hell" for world 8 airship, which is a reference for an AVGN epidosode when he made conspiracy theory about SMB3 being satanic.
I knew I watched long time before, glad I'm not the only one. And yes that reference to AVGN. "The P should mean possesion, H mean hell"
9-7 and Grandmaster Galaxy were two of my most played levels on the Wii games. I loved trying to beat 9-7 as a speed run and getting all 3 coins, while the perfect run is just a perfect level.
I played Super Mario World throughout my life and Tubular was hell.
I came here expecting to see Tubular
I remember this level in Super Mario Sunshine !
First I have to find a fruit for Yoshi
Second I’ll go to boat with Yoshi
Then there’s lava in the pipe so Yoshi will use this juice to make the lava disappeared so we can go in
And finally we made to the hardest level ever ! I’m glad I finally made it !

Y'all forgot to mention in the clock level, if you enter when the big hand is on the 12, the platforms stop moving so that makes it pretty easy
@Virtuous Phi I know but overall doing that just made the lever so much easier
@@jpsailorallaboardmatey461 That's true.
In no particular order, here's some more that I found very stressful, many of which I still haven't been able to complete:
-World 8-4 (NSMBW): Imagine playing a water level, but there's three sections with no checkpoints, the entire thing is in the dark, and the few power-ups present are placed right next to enemies that I swear were deliberately placed to make you get hit right as you grab the power-up
-Mystery House Marathon (SM3DW): I genuinely believe this stage was harder than Champion's Road. At least that level was fun and rewarding; this one's just a collage of thirty timed Green Star sections in a row. While the individual sections aren't hard, much like The Perfect Run the challenge comes from doing it all in one go
-Cashless Castle Crawl (NSMBU Challenge Mode): A very similar vibe to Don't. Touch. Anything., that makes up for its lack of Lakitus and moving platforms with Superstar Road-8's pendulum obstacles and swinging platforms that have lines of coins on top of them
-Jump Rope & Beach Volleyball 100-Point Moons (SMO): Putting the glitch exploit for the Jump Rope challenge aside, both of these require you to perform a miniscule action 100 times in a row; the problem is, in both of these the pace of the level quickly intensifies as you go
-The Trial Galaxies (SMG): These three levels consist of harder recreations of previously seen Galaxies; which of these three is the hardest is up for debate, but generally speaking most players will find at least one of these challenging (for me, Loopdeeswoop was easy, and Bubble Blast and Rolling Gizmo were hard)
-Corona Mountain Blue Coins (SMS): While not technically its own level that awards you with a Shine Sprite, it might as well be given these coins' similar challenge to that of the Lily Pad Ride's Red Coins
You can literally skip all of the long journeys end by clutching a frog in the air and swimming through the air to make it to the skyscraper.
Before watching the video, it honestly has to be between The Perfect Run Comet in Grandmaster Galaxy or Champion's Road. After watching though, one level I'm surprised that wasn't mentioned was the 'Run For It' in New Super Mario Bro U's star world. While I would put it in the lower end of the list, it is tricky to maintain the running for the whole level, not to mention how perfectly you have to touch the P-switches.
The lilypad level in Sunshine is not that bad once you figure out the controls. The key is stearing by shooting forward to turn and slow you down at the same time to not miss a red coin. Just don't keep your speed down the whole time or the lily pad will be destroyed by the acid before you finish.
WatchMojo: *uploads this video*
Me: *having Vietnam War flashbacks*
Some of these were ruthless, but I still had me some great fun. Frustration as well, but still fun.
The movie was great, I almost forgot how much I love these games. I definitely need to replay Sunshine
I love Mario so much I watch my brother play most of the games because they are too hard for me but I truly enjoy watching him play! We are both such huge Mario fans 😊❤️✌️
I’m amazed that rainbow ride from super Mario 64 didn’t make this list. That level made me throw the control so many times…and still does to this day hahah
So glad u added Champion’s Road from 3D world, that level is ridiculous & will make u wanna throw yourself in a volcano
What makes TIC TOK CLOCK especially challenging is the fact that the fregging camera is askwued (I misspelled it, I know) on this level and never above looking downward so you can get a better view of your positioning.
I don't have the patience for most of these levels.
Neither does anyone 😂 But in some Mario games, they are required to beat if you want to progress
Man, if Mario spin-offs were included, I can easily see the Palace of Shadow from Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door being on there.
Secret 6 from Yoshi's Island advance. It honestly feels more like Kaizo Mario in how it plays
I remember the hard levels on Super Nintendo, the star themes.
Almost impossible to beat.
Playing Mario & Sonic while being stoned is a whole vibe
Number 9 gives Arin Hanson PTSD flashbacks.
The Special 8-Crown will be easy as long as Mario wears a Tanooki Suit and an extra Tanooki Suit in the item.selection.
As if doing the Lily Pad lvl in Sunshine wasn't difficult enough, getting to this lvl makes it kinda worse. Waiting on those very slow moving boats is pretty annoying.
If only Yoshi's relationship with water was as good as it was in Galaxy 2.
Tubular man, that level is the one that i always beat by luck. It was brutal
"Some ANGRY VIDEO GAME NERDS, consider this hell." James Rolfe would be proud.
Bowzer’s castle in Super Mario Bros wii is also difficult as well, especially without flying power.
Special 8 Crown - I used to struggle with jumping on that Toad, because I wasn’t aware you were supposed to hold onto the button.
I could never beat Champions Road without a tanooki leaf!
I ain't gone lie some of these mario level made see fire and smoke popping out of my man they got me frustrated
The Perfect Run will forever be embedded in my childhood but yet I still remember beating it for the first time and I have never been so excited in my life and also at the time I rented this game from Blockbuster so I made it a mission to make sure I beat the freaking game before I returned it LOL😂😂
Out of the levels on the list, the impossible pack is the only one I haven’t been able to beat, and I’ve never played Don’t Touch Anything. The hardest level that I have beaten is Champion’s Road. I don’t know why but this one was significantly harder to me than The Perfect Run, perhaps because you first play an easier version of The Perfect Run, whereas you’re thrown in the deep with Champion’s Road. The boost panel section of Champion’s Road still haunts me lol
I also played champion's road. And it taked me like 1 week to complete that level. Was so frustrating, and I had to pass it with stella lol
Am proud that I've beaten all of the Mario games 100% from Mario 64 to current. Favorite one on this list was the Prefect Run on Galaxy 2. Only pre-Mario 64, while I beat the games, I didn't 100% those, but I was very proud of beating Super Mario the Lost level.
When I return to mario games, I love playing through some of these levels
The footage you got was halfway there on cheesing tubular in Super Mario World. Get the cape feather and get blue Yoshi because blue Yoshi will get wings and be able to fly regardless of which color koopa he eats so those flying red paratroopers eat one of those and you just fly through the whole level.
Once I got the trick with the clock and the entering time Tick Tock clock was one of my favourite Levels at Mario 64
14:26 I still remember trying to beat the Perfect Run, It was a living hell but still really fun
I had forgotten about some of these levels
I just can't agree that the Perfect Run is harder than The Impossible Pack or Champion's Road without the Tanooki Suit.
I beat the lily pad level on sunshine by using the ledges and timing your flood pack. Makes it way easier. I only use the lily pad for the first four coins or so. The watermelon festival to me is the hardest level in the game. More so than pachinko.
Never finished a Mario game 😂 After getting halfway though it’s always back to world 1-1
Later mario games allow you to save after every single level.... how have you not beaten one yet?
Original one was a pain especially those fishes
In Lilly Pad Ride, you didn’t mention about the pipe at the end!
the cave castle(castle 3) the one that starts with wizards shooting at you, was the one i always had trouble with
World 9-7 is one of the most memorable, iconic, and hardest level in Super Mario Bros Wii and the franchise as it was absolutely and positivity frustrating stressful and difficult on so many levels 😡😡😡😡😡 as I literally died 20 times especially trying to get that 2nd and 3rd star coin. I just beat it today ☺️ which made me definitely and completely happy as I got all of the star coins in the whole entire game as I felt like I accomplished something due to me not giving up on myself as I have tons of motivation and determination within me in order to conquer my goal. 😍💯😎👍
The Perfect Run. Good God I hated that level. It’s always the part with the enemies spitting coconuts, the circular lasers and the disappearing platforms that kept screwing me over.
Suoer Mario Sunshine has the HARDEST 1's
For the lilipad level in super Mario sunshine, I use the lilipad for the 5 first red coins. For the others, I playing short rope on the walls
The thing with The Perfect Run is that if you practice each section it’s not that challenging. It’s just the fact that you can’t get hit and also Long Journey’s End and Luigi’s Purple Coins aren’t difficult. I mean I can beat those on my first or second try
Champions road was the hardest for me without a doubt. That level will drive you to drink !
I had wiped some of these levels from my memory, and now they're back 😅
The moment you rage at a hard mario level makes you want to chuck your controller against the wall or the TV screen
Honestly Super Mario Bros 2: The Lost Levels is painful, but once you get probably around the 8th and 9th world, it becomes somewhat more managable.
Still, no wonder such a game Nintendo created would be punishing to the point it never got a NA release...
Please do 20 hardest Kirby levels
I'm currently battling Champion's Road on the Switch version of 3D World. I hate those vanishing blocks so much. :p
I felt a Deja Vuh watching this video like already watched. Still good video. 🎉😊
Heh. I remenber that in the end the best way to beat the lilypad level in sunshine is to not use the lilypad at all. Just walk along the edges and use flood to get the coins.
funny, i have never played Sunshine (as of yet) and that's the first thing i thought of trying to do while watching this video....
I love the “Angry Video Game Nerd” joke you made lol
I really hate that Lily Pad Ride. I actually recalling rage quitting that level. Super Mario Sunshine was a lot more brutal than I remembered.
*Freezeflame's Blistering Core exists*
Remote and nunchuck: Time to say goodbye.
We need to add Climb to the Beat to the list
💀💀💀
Exactly lol
6:13
Here’s a tip: play as Nabbit in that level. He’s basically invincible.
God that panchiko level in sunshine made me so mad as a kid. That and the sandbird one too
For anyone even debating Perfect Run vs Champion's Road, allow me to explain why Perfect Run is much harder:
1. You must play it alone, so you can't die and let your friends continue the level for you.
2. You only receive 1 power-up with limited use for 1 section of the level, so no pulling out an extra power-up that you stored.
3. You cannot get hit even once, whereas in Champion's Road, you can get hit multiple times.
Champion's Road is an incredibly tough level on its own, but Perfect Run ups the anty by removing the training wheels.
Thankfully Perfect Run can be sneezed by player 2. Also Rosalina is a great choice for Champion's road.
9-7 of NSMB Wii was the toughest one of these for me. Beat it once after many tries and never tried it again (I may have to now just for posterity). Agree with almost every choice here, but I never had any trouble with the SMB3 World 8 airship, even as a youngling. I'm legitimately surprised that one keeps coming up in lists like this.
Facts that is one of the most memorable, iconic, and hardest levels in the whole entire game as it was absolutely and positivity frustrating, difficult, and stressful on so many levels as I literally died 20 times especially trying to get the 2nd and 3rd star coin. 😡😡😡😡😡 I just beat it today ☺️ which made me definitely and completely happy as I got all of the star coins in the whole entire game as I feel like I'm accomplished something due to me not giving up on myself as I have tons of motivation and determination within me to conquer my goal.😍💯😎👍
Awesome from Super Mario World, Bowser’s Castle from New Super Mario Bros Wii
Avgn reference at 8:19
I hope they keep making mario games in the 2100’s
Its probably the best video game franchise ever
That mario 64 flying level was a pain to do
OH GOD TUBULAR.
The Lilly pads is way worse than the pachinko machine. Plus you also have to consider how frustrating it is just to get to the Lilly pad level
