There was a year in college where my friends and I grinded the real smb2 when it was available on the Wii shop. It destroyed us. I don’t think we ever beat it. We were stuck on the third world for most of the year and it was super deflating. I still go back every now and then to get through it and even with save states it’s just a gauntlet. I love it for that though.
