10 Most Difficult Platforming Games You Need to Play

SUPER MARIO BROS.: THE LOST LEVELS

This one is kind of an obvious pick. The original Super Mario Bros. games aren’t particularly known for their difficulty, even though they can, of course, be challenging from time to time, though Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (or Super Mario Bros. 2) is very much the exception to that rule. Designed from the outset to be a much more challenging game that its predecessor, The Lost Levels throws all manner of new obstacles at you, from poison mushrooms to platforming challenges that require much greater precision and more. In fact, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it one of the most difficult games of its era- which is really saying something.
