Together Retro: Super Mario Bros 2 / Doki Doki Panic

I'm starting to think that the GBA port was made much easier than the NES original. I haven't played the NES version in many years, and I'm getting very frustrated with it. :\

Went through the first three worlds of SMB2. Had no trouble until Level 3-3, dying three times.

How is it easier? I haven't played much of the NES version, but they seemed the same to me.

I can't say other than I breezed thru the GBA port numerous times. Though it might be the stupid Wiimote. Gawd, I hate this thing. I tried using a GCN controller instead, but it still felt off to me. Don't know. :\

Snes wii adaptor ftw! They are super cheap get 1

^I have a PS2>GCN adapter. I should probably just use that eh?

[ExedExes]

...there's warps?

Yes.

World 1-3 takes you to World 4
World 3-1 takes you to World 5
World 4-2 takes you to World 6
World 5-3 takes you to World 7.

I used to do the world 1-4-6-7 route all the time. Easiest way to get there for me. If I felt a bit adventurous, I'd take the 1-2-3-5-7 path.

I've been dying a lot (getting through 5-1 was all for today!), but I still have an obscene number of extra lives. I suspect that that's what makes the GBA version easier.

I think you're right. I feel like when I'd play it on GBA I'd always have wayyyyy too many extra lives.

Any tips or tricks to gain lives with the slot machine? My timing is never right as I hear a lot of "do do do do doos " and not enough "De de de de dees! ".

I've even tried closing my eyes and pressing at different second intervals, to no avail.
