    ejpavia's Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)

    [January 19, 2007 04:04:22 PM]
    The next session of Mario Bros. 3 was even more frustrating as the first session. I still have the same problems with the second level, and still have yet to pass it. This game really pissed me off and made me so mad that I felt the urge to hit something everytime I died. It was pretty bad.

    I tried countless times to make the jump from the third pipe to the land but still could not figure out how it was to be done because simply jumping across was not working at all. I guess there must be some special technique or action but I just do not know what it is.

    I don't think I've ever been more frustrated with a level in a game before playing Mario Bros. 3. My frustration just caused me to rush through the level to attempt the jump again and again and each time I died, I became even angrier. My anger than just caused me to make dumb mistakes like bumping in turtles, falling off small cliffs, etc.

    If anyone knows how to make it past that third pipe, please let me know and maybe I'll give this game a second chance.

    My first experience playing Mario Bros. 3 was extremely frustrating early on. The reason is most likely because it took me a while to even slight get a good feel for controlling Mario. The game design is pretty good, which most people must already know. I really liked the positioning of the special queston blocks that give red mushrooms and flowers. They seemed to fit perfectly since you can't get a flower until you get a red mushroom on the second level.

    However, I really hated the positioning of secret blocks. One in particular on the second level was positioned right at the edge of a cliff and right as you jump at the edge, i found myself hitting the block half way into my jump, which ended/restricted the height of my jump. The result was my loss of a life as I plummeted down to my death. I became annoyed at my inability to pass the second level. It was confusing for me to figure out how I was supposed to make the jump from the last pipe to the land towards the end. This aspect of the design was most annoying for me.
