I feel like 8-1 was designed to reward you for playing the game all the way through. If you did, you should have enough p-wings to bypass 8-1 and the airship
8-1 is pretty hard but i beat this game today so i was lucky enough but i skip 8-2 and castle just using my tooth then i used my remaining p-wing to final tank before bowser castle 😊
This brings back so many memories. That one summer vacation where I played this almost everyday. Sitting in the floor of my room, looking up at that old tv hooked to my original NES. If I had a time machine I would go back there for one day.
On the first ship in the water, my cousins and i swam underneath them all till we got to the end. It does make your thumb ache as you can drown & die if you let up. Beats goin thru all the cannon fire.
What I noticed about this is that only the underground music, the ship music, and the castle music are played. The underground music replaces both of the on-ground music that is played in the other levels -- starting with games 1 and 2 from level 1 (in case you are wondering what I am talking about). I find it rather fitting that these three music scores are all that play during world 8.
So the only way to get past level 1 is a P cloud?? Well I will never do it. I lost mine in the first tank level LOL I beat that fast ship without a a P cloud though :P
I remade this World in Smm2 and even put in with Coins many Swear Worlds directed at Mario from Bowser. I Fucked The Princess can be seen in Bowsers Castle in Coins in the start of the level. Welcome To Hell is the start of World 8 in between the first tanks😊. We all know Bowser would....and likely Peach too as that is her boyfriend after all and not Mario.
I loved it when you tried cheating through levels and you still died. RofLmao! I'm currently trying to beat this game without suits and million life cheats and im getting my ass kicked. It was some needed relief seeing someone else die over and over. Thumbs up!
Say hello to the worst world in the game. Yeah it's the final world but man a lot of these levels suck. Smart move cheesing a few with P-Wings. A real shame you couldn't take out Bowser with the hammers. Overall a good playthrough of this timeless game.
I usually don't cheese 8-1 but I was fed up with loosing life. I was aso almost to the point of restarting world 8 when I lost the hammer suit but I was too lazy I guess. Also for some reason it's way harder to jump crouch with an NES mini d pad than a regular NES d pad, that's why it took me a lot of time to do it in Bowser Castle.
They don’t suck (in fact, they’re the best levels of the game), they’re just difficult. This was back when Mario games weren’t easy and holding your hand all the time.
I like world 8 for what it is but am sad that there’re no hammer brothers on the map screen,no toad houses,no roulette or memory games,let alone coinships (imagine a coinship with negative coins alone with the airship tune and dark background) and bowsers in not inside a airship wich i always trought to be the case🙁🙁
How did you get a hammer suit and that many lives and power ups? I'm playing on a regular classic NES. Am I just missing those things when I play or are you using a game genie or something other than an NES?
You can get the hammer suit in the mushroom houses Lvl 6 and the 99 lives on level 7 fortress 1 You’ll see a room full of yellow bricks and there is a hidden pow button that turns the bricks into coins, you can keep doing it over and over again by repeatedly going in and out the red door. It’s known as the 99 lives “cheat” you can look it up on YT if you type in Super Mario 99 lives. And then finally you can get a bunch of flying feathers by getting to those 3 lvls that the hand comes out and drags you in. They are easy to beat and each one rewards you with a flight feather just stay small. Use a flight feather on lvl 1 at the beginning til it lets you fly up to reach the pipe. Hope this helps👋
If you go in as raccoon in 8-1, you can fly to the 3up pipe. If you charge the P meter and jump before you exit the 3up secret, you can just about fly to the end
Just beat the game with my brother in law on snes version I know your stuggle. I use to have skills back when I was small I'm not good like i use to be. It was a pain going through all these levels
I guess I'm one of the very few people who never had a real problem with the airship level. I always used the P-Wing for level 2, though. I didn't know there was a shortcut under the sand. And I never finished the fortress. Always save the cloud from level 3 for that one.
Came here expecting by the title of the video that unlike me you'd find a way to enter those 2 levels remaining in the part a hand grabs you into the level. Well. Still nice to see the nes version, like this world better here, it actually honors the world's name "Dark world". The snes version is too bright. Also, I disagree with some other comment. These levels ain't bad. They are fun... and wtf now while commenting I see you know a tricky shortcut around 9:32 :O
Con todo respeto, y sin animo de agraviar, pero que manera tan mas pendeja la de perder en el mundo 8-1 y contra Bowser, perdiste el ala "P" y el "Hammer-Bro" no no no y mas no... jaja XD, este video deberia llamarse bloopers del mundo 8.

Definitely one of my favorites in the Mario series, but getting through this game is NOT an easy task.😮
Easier than the Lost Levels.
Yea it is u can legit warp to world 8 by only getting two flutes
@@Xoslughe meant by not just warping lmao
@@Daft0Cean968 I know that bud
@@Xoslugshut it little kid
That moment when you lose all the lives you got in that World 7 castle
World 8 map in this game has got to be one of the creepiest things I’ve seen in a Mario game
I was only a child when I played it and I was scared shitless of the actual levels but even the look of the map.
@@rios39 don't even get me started on the hand that takes you in
@@Kirbyfan_forever2022 so scary. And the area where you can’t see the whole map until you move over the area. I was traumatized

17:11 That’s the most frustrating feeling in the world

I like both level 1 & 2 of world 8 as they can be considered to be dark versions of those grassland levels😁
I could never beat 8-1. I always used a Pwing. I also used a cloud to beat the castle stage. Hated that place.

I love these levels. Especially the tank ones. I usually skipped the dungeon. That one was hard

No it's not the only way but it makes things easier.
I hated 8-Airship >:(
I always died from either autoscroll or from Falling :(
I remember this game I as a kid so many shouting everytime I die really tough mario game
Lol I always saved the P wings for some of these. Especially that early the ship one
It's refreshing to see someone play 8-1 differently.
6:56, 7:24, 7:56, 8:29 and 10:43 I know that feeling. I barely made it through 8-1 and 8-2. P Wing helps drastically here.
Swim under the 2nd boat til end of level

I'd always use the whistles to just skip to get here then use my only p wing for the first level then fail the rest cause it's hard

I love the levels where Mario gets dragged in by a hand 🤚🏼

I got the hammer suit in world 6 IIRC. I got that many lives and power ups just by not dying and not using them too much.
You can get the hammer suit in the mushroom houses Lvl 6 and the 99 lives on level 7 fortress 1 You’ll see a room full of yellow bricks and there is a hidden pow button that turns the bricks into coins, you can keep doing it over and over again by repeatedly going in and out the red door.

@@2ghostworld thanks!
One of the greatest games of all time
I’m used to play my switch back in 1989 or 1991
1995 I only passed World 8 stage 1 once... I was so dejected when I Game Over'd on the boat level I NEVER touched the games again, lol.
hell, is there any way to deal with 8-1 withOUT a p-wing?
I guess a hammer suit
Why did the Bongos in the Super Mario Bros NES games go so hard.
I have not passed 8-1 without a p-wing. I can't pass 8-2 without a tail.
This is the level I’m stuck on right now😩
World 8-1 without the p wing and the world 8 airship are the 2 hardest levels for me. Tough as hell.
If you go in as raccoon in 8-1, you can fly to the 3up pipe. If you charge the P meter and jump before you exit the 3up secret, you can just about fly to the end
@@bmaze35640 Good to know. I know you can charge the p meter.Thanks.
1:45 i find it funny there's a random koopa at the end of level 1
Just beat the game with my brother in law on snes version I know your stuggle. I use to have skills back when I was small I'm not good like i use to be. It was a pain going through all these levels
14:22, The Last Stage!
U can swim under the boat
Where’s the fun in that?
I can't even get through the first set of battleships and by level 8 I'm always out of P thingies and have zero goodies to help me
Easily one of the best parts of the game.
There's something weirdly freaky about these levels having black skyboxes.
These are great ideas for my expert levels in Mario Maker 2.
6:56
HAHA MY WORD.
What happened?
I guess I'm one of the very few people who never had a real problem with the airship level.
I always used the P-Wing for level 2, though. I didn't know there was a shortcut under the sand.
And I never finished the fortress. Always save the cloud from level 3 for that one.
I mastered Super Mario World but I was never able to beat this game.

There's only 3 levels, the other 2 squares aren't.

This world really is not fun at all. I feel they got lazy with the level design in this one.
