Wait you thought Mario 3 was too hard? I thought it was perfect.  Same with mario bros 2.  I never played sunshine tho

I actually thought the first one was really easy. So this isn't bad news, at least to me anyway.

Cool, I like a challenge.

Pretty good news, not bragging here but I'm decent at Mario games, so good.

It took me at least 30 attempts to beat the Bouldergeist in the first game, this is not good for me.

Galaxy only really got difficult near the end, mostly with stuff like the green star galaxies, which were more cheap and unfair than legitimately hard. SMG 2 harder? Sure. Sign me up.

A better challenge is always nice to have.  

GOOD!!  I WANT A CHALLENGE!!

1: Easy
2 : Medium
3: Easy
World: Easy
64: Hard
Sunshine: Medium
Galaxy: Easy as hell.
 
... Yeah, I'm looking forward to the difficulty in Galaxy 2.

So far all Mario games have been easy to me.

I doubt it will be authentically hard. Harder, perhaps, but not seriously frustrating. Nintendo would never develop a Demon's Souls.

"Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be a "really challenging" game for 6-year-olds, Shigeru Miyamoto has said."

Still haven't beaten Sunshine, I'd love to have that guide shit for the "clean up the beach" level. As long as the toughness isn't correlated to poor balancing Im all for this I suppose. 

Well, I guess they're leaving the casual crowd behind. I only completed Mario 64. I never finished the NES versions, and I only got 87 stars in Galaxy.

Great news. 
 
I guess I'll need the CPU to play through it for me.

"Hmmmm...  I had a tough time completing the first Mario Galaxy."  

Huh. 
 
I never beat Super Mario 3 on account of the final world being too hard on a keyboard. (emulation.) 
 
I actually found Super Mario Sunshine to be the EASIEST super mario game I ever played. 2 was MUCH harder, in my opinion.  
 
Bizarrely, I've had the super guide come up TWICE in New SMB Wii. That game is wayyyy harder than you would think. I haven not used it though. It just presents the option. 
 
WHy in the world wouldn't they include it in Galaxy 2? You don't HAVE to use it. Why not present the option? Isn't that the whole point? 
 
I wonder if Miyamoto is recieving pressure from Nintendo to make his games more "hardcore". 
 
Honestly I think he is/was suffering from the same problem George Lucas/Steven Speilbert and all other old creators suffer from. As they get older they start to talk down to people younger than them. I think that's why his games have been so easy lately.
