The Perfect Run was legitimately one of the most frustrating but rewarding levels I ever played in any Mario game - it absolutely deserves its top spot here.

Mario Galaxy 2 really deserves an HD release because it legitimately has some of the best level design in all of Mario.

I was hoping you would bring up the pachinko level in Super Mario Sunshine. Not just because of how much of a pain it is to beat, but because of that episode of Game Grumps where Arin attempted it. That meltdown he had, when he just barely missed the shine and died was a real side splitter.

Despite hard levels, i still love Super Mario games.

[j-ry]

Whoever played these levels is mad skilled and earns my respect

[roserave]

Who else remembers the old version with only ten picks? I’ll always remember that opening line: “Mamma Mia! Where did all my lives go?” Simply put, hearing some portions of that video reworked for this one felt very nostalgic.

The lily pad level from Mario Sunshine, is absolute hell and quite possibly the most infuriating level ever put into a Mario game

[turboshazed]

Super Mario Galaxy 2's very last level is like pulling teeth.

[emiebex]

Every level Fludd gets taken from you - Super Mario Sunshine.

[BigFella]

I cannot count how many times I almost broke my Wii remote in rage after failing some of these levels

About rank 4: How can they say that C-3 is "not even the most brutal stage the game has to offer" and then not bring "the most brutal stage" in this list on rank 3, 2 or 1?

So glad u added Champion’s Road from 3D world, that level is ridiculous & will make u wanna throw yourself in a volcano

[emiebex]

Lily Pad Ride in Super Mario Sunshine. What makes this level a pain is that long ride you have to take on The boat with color Yoshi just to get to the level & if you die you've got to do the Yoshi ride all over again.

[grandcaptainspeedydash]

Having beaten all the ones here that I have played, most of the list, makes me feel better about the time I spent doing it. (Of the top four only one of them I haven't played)

[benswaggerty]

In the lily pad level in Sunshine the lily pad actually respawns after it disintegrates. While tedious, if you miss a coin you can walk back to the beginning and try again to get the coins that were missed

[g-burtfred]

NOW! We need a top 10 or a top 20 of the hardest DKC Trilogy Levels. Just the 1994-1996 levels.

[Issacvideotesting]

Took me years to beat the perfect run, but felt soooo satisfying to finally beat.

[elizabethjones]

I'm glad that you added World 8-7 from the DS version of Super Mario Bros on the list. It's ranked at 14. That level is so hard it makes me want to throw my DS down a toilet but I made it through.

[emiebex]

The Pachinko Machine - Super Mario Sunshine. Can't tell you how tries winning that took.

[emiebex]

Champion Road - Super Mario 3D World your only chance of winning this level is to hold on to your flying Powerups as long as possible.
