Thread: 'New Super Mario Bros. Wii' Is As Hard As 'Contra'

ok, this game is hard as balls to get all three coins on each stage. now, one could make the claim that it is as hard as Contra but that comes with one large caveat. It is extremely easy to get tons of 1ups so you should never really have to worry about running out of lives. You can find them hidden in maps, you can do the old 99 lives trick by hopping on a turtle shell and the coins are so abundant that it is quite easy to get your 100 for a...

yeah, i started out trying to get all the gold coins, and quickly gave up. just getting through some of the stages i'm at now (world 6) is more than enough. i'll let the little ins and outs provide the replay value later on. (also, on an unrelated note that konami code works on facebook as well - doesn't give you 30 lives, but puts these weird red circles on the page..)

I already beat the game level-wise, but I still have to go back and collect all the coins. The perk you get for beating the game is well worth it instead of trying to collect all the coins beforehand.

Re: 'New Super Mario Bros. Wii' Is As Hard As 'Contra' If you want hard games. try the NES Ninja Gaiden Trilogy or the Super Star Wars trilogy. what old games could not deliver in length, they made up for with extreme difficulty
