10 Hardest Super Mario Levels Nintendo Ever Created

3. Tubular (Super Mario World)

Even Mario€™s plumbing skills couldn€™t help him when he encountered these treacherous pipes in Super Mario World€™s secret zone. This stage was essentially one huge bottomless pit that Mario could only cross with the help of the P-Balloon, a power-up that filled him with air and gave him the ability to float. Drifting from A to B was nigh on impossible with Chargin€™ Chucks lobbing projectiles your way, Piranha Plants snapping at your heels, and Koopa Paratroopers flying in the most awkward formations. One hit spelled instant doom but the hardest part was getting those P-Balloons to last for the duration of the level. Many a plumber fell to his death trying to reach that block that replenished the power-up for the final leg of the journey.
