Boring Levels in Every Mario Game

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.

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.

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

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.

Haven’t watched yet, but I’m saying snowman’s land for Mario 64. We already had a good snow level and this one felt even more bare bones than the other one was. Even had a reskin mini boss from an earlier level.

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

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

I wouldn't know it was a Copycat video if I didn't hear that Nintendo didn't perfectly blend aspects of 2d and 3d Mario to create Super Mario 3d Land 😤🔥

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.

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

Surprised about not including any Yoshi's Island levels. The scrolling cave one in World 6 is super boring in my opinion.

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

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.

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

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.

In super Mario bros 3, world 2-2 holds a secret. If you collect 30 coins in there you get a white mushroom house. It holds an anchor which prevents the airship from moving if you die during the level

4:37 help me for the past couple months i can't unsee the pixel beetween the O and the W aaaaaa

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.
