If you somehow were able to defeat this level as a kid...I salute you

^^^ Mario 2 was one of the easiest games ever made imo unless you talking about SMB2: The New Worlds (jap M2)

Games people claimed where hard, were easy to me. TMNT had its parts, but the level you just posted didn't register as hard to me. Not even looking at it now, seemed simple Battletoads gets tossed around as hard (wasn't for me) I even beat Friday the 13th. Hard games imo were Deadly Towers, Golgo 13 even tho I beat that w/out using a map.. like, I literally wondered til I got thru. Beating Contra and Lifeforce w/out the cheat code, Knocking tyson down in the first rd. (there is a way, cuz I did it back then) basically what I discovered and til this day haven't seen ppl speak on is you can catch Tyson before he throws a lightning punch and you'll get a star. I didn't perfect it, just did it a few times. Now ya know. And I guess maybe Castlevania II because nobody could pass the part where you have to kneel at the wall then the tornado takes you thru it. We had to wait til Nintendo Power showed us the way

I thought Deadly Towers was easier than this game , ditto with the guardian legend & legacy of the wizard

not all platform games were programed for the average kid to beat

I mastered the art of swearing playing this game as a young kid

That and Soda Popinski just really perfected my curse word arsenal as a kid.

The electric seaweed sucked...the game was hard as hell...it gets unfairly hated on because it wasnt a bad game....just way too difficult early.

Back to the Future was a horrendous game. Where's Waldo was atrocious. Ghostbusters..pitiful.

Turtles wasnt that bad...and it was fun imo...just too hard.

Soda Popinski gave you troubles
Only fighter I couldn't time well (at random times) was the 2nd Bald Bull
He'd vary his charge and it threw me off once to where I couldn't even beat him anymore for like a week (This is after beating him and the game several times)

Sometimes I'd miss time Super machoman's twister punch. Other than that everyone was easy to me. Even Tyson. Cuz his patterns where not as sneaky (except for his random jab)

The only guy that ever gave me consistent problems was Popinski



I had Tyson's timing down better for whatever reason. And then when that fukker would stand over you and laugh basically saying i just got too

 

[Jplaya2023]

I dont know how many times i would get stuck on this one level.

It got to the point where just beating this one stage alone was enough gratification for me to justify playing this golden turd of a game.


like how do you expect your target audience at the time (6-11 year olds) to beat this shyt?? Konami had a sick sense of humor to make this the SECOND level of the game.

THAT DAMN PART AT 1:31

Funny, I was just thinking how much I hated this level as a jit...plus them damn tentacles made my skin crawl for some reason...I only beat this level a couple of ones though....


now Contra, THAT was a bytch.

 

[The Phoenix]

Just by the title alone I already knew what level it was. And go ahead and salute me because I beat it without having to use my entire roster of turtles.

 

[yseJ]

That fukking level.
That fukking level.

I always used the useless turtles for it. My sacrificial lambs were Raph and Mike because the short range weapons were so fukking useless.

I never beat that game, but I did get good enough where I never lost a turtle on that level.

I was 6 or 7 or so when this game was obtained on my NES, and I randomly want to say a Commodore.

lol at dudes face after he 'realized' he can just walk on it

 

[observe]

Could never beat this and Battletoads.

Ya battle toads was hard,.me and my friend thought they had the best graphics back then..

Friday the 13th was the hardest..I never understood that game..
