- Hey guys welcome to todays video where I go over both the hardest and easiest games in every single Nintendo franchise. This video took along time to make and I tried my hardest to single out each and every game you see. I hope you enjoy and please comment, like and sub!
Mario 3d land is much easier then 64, i passed almost every level first try and i always knew what to do, in 64 you will probably be stuck at some point and some stars are very hard to achieve
@@ewillathaflippa It took me 2 days to beat Odyssey, it's probably the easiest Mario game I've played.

"The hardest 3D Mario game is..."
Me: "Gotta be Mario 64. I haven't been able to beat it."
"Sunshine. Mario 64 is the easiest."
Me: 🙃
Oh hey man, what's going on
Mario 64 levels are pretty easy if it wasn't for the fact that mario's slippery physics ruins it, but 3d land is even easier lol
Oh hi
Greetings Michael, Pokefan here!
Mario 64 is definitely not an easy first time game. Galaxy 1 is easier, apart from some late game purple coin stars.
How is Mario 3D land not the easiest I thought it was a well known fact that it’s extremely easy.
Because he's too busy showing off to worry about accuracy, and beating 3D Land doesn't give him the valuable gamer points.
You can tell by the way he admits the games are for players of all skill levels, then insists the easy ones are objectively bad. And pretends Mario 64 has simpler game mechanics than some of the more nostalgic runners up. (It allows him to mention he beat it 100 times.)
It'd probably blow his mind to know that some of us can enjoy both Souls-likes and Kirby.
@@juststatedtheobvious9633 I think that’s reading wayyy too much into it, he didn’t even do anything impressive in the 64 section
I love the new super Mario bros 2 3ds it was way too easy
The final level s8 crown wants a talk
Super mario 64 is not the easiest
Splits up Mario Games into 2D and 3D.
Proceeds to ignore the Metroid Prime series.
Should’ve also split up the Zelda entries between 2D and 3D.
and Donkey Kong
To be fair he thinks metroid came out before Zelda which is wrong
I haven’t played all of them yet (playing through them currently), but I’ve heard Prime 2 is a bit trickier than the others.
@@chaosbringer04 And I would like to inform that you are wrong again. Metroid, shockingly, came before Zelda. Do a fact check.
Zelda II is the hardest. This isn't even debatable. I think he completely forgot about that one.
Ikr
Yep. Probably the hardest game to beat (forgetting 100%) that Nintendo has ever developed in-house.
Even with a guide, beating that game was extremely hard
I think a lot of people don't play that one because it really doesn't stand out compared to all the other games beyond it being more difficult. It is also considered to be one of the worst Zelda games.
@@aaronrumph3291 I'm sure a lot of modern gamers haven't played it, but it's far from obscure. And given its notorious difficulty, it's weird not to even mention it when picking the hardest game of a series.
And Zelda 2 does a ton to stand out. There's no other game like it in the series.
This channel is a gold mine for controversy.
He has a lot of good thoughts but he's inconsistent when he sometimes just resolves to say "first game is the easiest because it's the simplest" despite games like SM64 and DKC1 being EXTREMELY punishing for messing up, vs. modern games like Odyssey where you can't game over, or Tropical Freeze with Funky Mode. Even without Funky Mode, that game gives out so many lives that I don't think I ever saw the gameover screen until I saw it on RUclips lol. Not to say it's an easy game by any means, but compared to the world 4 saveless ice level gauntlet in DKC1 it doesn't compare.
Exactly.
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was considerably harder than the first Zelda.
Ages had some extremely difficult puzzles. But Zelda 2 has harder combat.
yes!
You don't remember dying in Warioland because you can't die in Warioland. That is one of the core game mechanics of the series.
I heard the only way to die is to run out of time and then run out of money.
Karlis Povisils In Warioland 2 and 3 you can't die.
You can most definitely die in wario land 4
@@justasimplemanworkinghiswa1569 you can only die in Wario land 3 in 1 place. At the final boss. Its the only way to get game over.

I never played it, but after all I heard, I'd consider Zelda 2 as the hardest game in the franchise.
Agree, I don't understand how to complete the dark Levels.
Me to
@Wild Card Nation back in the day with Zelda 1 you had a quite complete map of the overworld in the box, with the first dungeons and some secret crearly marked. It was much less cryptic than a lot of other games. The booklet was quite complete with a lot of hints nd explanations
I’ve played it and it’s much more difficult.
I think Breath of the wild is the hardest. Just for me:) Because the shrines are super hard to beat
Zelda 2 Is waaaay harder than the first one. Great game, but really hard
Yeah
Absolutely, I have never met anyone who thinks Zelda 1 is harder than 2 lol
I definitely agree. Zelda 2 is in a league of its own when it comes to challenge. If you're not prepared and know some of the helpful tricks, Zelda 2 will absolutely give you no mercy!
Zelda 1 is more confusing than Zelda 2, but yeah no doubt Zelda 2 is harder in terms of sheer gameplay
Though I think a part of Zelda 2's difficulty comes from occasionally unfair moments like Death Mountain being so early in the game.
A lot of people pride Tropical Freeze on it's difficulty and here we are with Returns lol.
Also, the easiest Kirby game is Kirby's Epic Yarn. The original version. You can't even die in it. 100% completion is it's only challenge, but only because of the timed apartment friend mini games.
Yeah, Epic Yarn is definitely the easiest Kirby. If you're not going for 100%, you can probably even beat it in an afternoon with no trouble.
I mean, Returns is quite tough as well. That's far from the weirdest choice in the video.
@@mattb6522 when I was a kid, I’d start a new save of Kirby’s Epic Yarn and beat it in an afternoon just for fun, and I did it a lot, so I can verify that that is in fact true
@@M3G4T3RR4 It definitely is one of those game that seems like it is fun just to play and enjoy the environments.
I did the same thing with other games as a kid as well. You'd replay a game for an afternoon just to enjoy it again. I think part of that was due to the fact that I rarely got new games as a kid. 😅
Tropical freeze Is definelly harder than returns,I can't believe that this guy put returns in the hardest DKC game (Sorry for my bad english i'm italian)
My Dad played the legend of zelda so much he drew a map of the whole game
Your dad is a legend
which legend of zelda game
I applaud
@@NinetyLegos the first
My dad also did that with the OG Zelda and Metroid!
“Sm64 is easiest 3D Mario game”
SM3DW: Am I a joke to you??
Nah SM3DW's final level blows SM64's difficulty out of the water. SM3D Land on the other hand...
Champions road says hi
SM3DL is even easier in my opinion.
3dworld suddenly transforms from baby mode to fuck you difficulty after cosmic cannon cluster imo. For me, odyssey was the easiest including the postgame.
@SHON to be honest odyssey is pretty hard to place in a difficulty ranking because at least for me the hardest parts were mostly non platforming challenges like the rope jump, volleyball and the final set of races in snow kingdom.
I assumed the easiest Pokémon game was going to be X and Y. Let’s Go was so easy and forgettable that I totally forgot it existed
When I was a pokemon fan I tried playing let's go but just got bored at some point
Honestly I think Red/Blue are the easiest to play nowadays because of how broken its systems are and how bad the Trainer AI is.
@@jacobmonks3722 yeah that's a good point I used a chansey and I was almost unstoppable
@@jacobmonks3722 Let's also not forget that you can also easily make up for Charmander's type disadvantages as soon as Viridian Forest. Butterfree or Nidoran due to Double Kick, as well as a Pikachu for Misty in Cerulean City.
@@KitsuneYojimbo Only in Yellow. In Red/Blue Nidoran doesn't learn Double Kick until way later level. But yes Butterfree does exist and Brock's Onix has absolutely no Rock type moves to counter it.
i dont think u actually played most of these
With the way he talks about some of them, I’d agree.
Can you imagine playing as many games as possible for every franchise? Then gather footage then editing? It’s time consuming.
It’s no shame to get help or find fan opinions.
"Super Paper Mario is the easiest game of the Mario RPGs"
Mario and Luigi Paper Jam:
No, its Bowser's Inside Story
The Bros Attacks can skip Entire Bosses and the Retry Timers Exist
Even Superstar Saga was more tough than BIS
Donkey Kong country tropical freeze was so hard (atleast for me)
The reason people say you should include Mario Maker is because the sequel has a story mode
But that's 1 game, so it wouldn't work in a ranking video, unless it was the individual levels in the game.
@@tanthenotquiteman Weren't there Nintendo-made levels in Mario Maker 1 for the WiiU & 3DS?
@@dmk12345 idk, I didn't play those games. You're probably right.
@@tanthenotquiteman Super Mario Maker 2 is the only Mario Maker game that I’ve played.
@@dmk12345 same
Thracia 776 was a decent pick for Fire Emblem's hardest game. But you were wrong about it being released on wii virtual console in the west. That just didn't happen. The footage you used with English text is from the Project Exile fan translation romhack.
If you're taking into consideration all of the hard modes in the franchise though, Fire Emblem: New Mystery of the Emblem: Heroes of Light and Shadow's Lunatic Reverse mode is probably the hardest, since it has extremely hard enemies everywhere, as well as changing combat so enemies always attack first, even on player turn.
Sacred Stones is definitely the easiest, though.
Also RIP Golden Sun again.
Facts. Also, Awakening’s Lunatic+ deserves a mention because that mode is ridiculous
Shadow dragon is pretty easy tbh (i played hard 2 blind so idk about hard 5) since caeda steamrolls all the cavaliers and armored bosses in the game with her wing spear + xane. Three houses is pretty easy as well on hard mode (idk if maddening is the hardest mode in the franchise tho) as any mistakes you make can be fixed by tedious busywork at the monastary or divine pulse
I've only played Three Houses and from what i've heard it's really easy when it comes to Fire Emblem, is Sacred Stones even easier than it?
@@lucasdellamaggiore sacred stones has grinding, but it also has the fog of war boat map on ephraim route which is hard. However ephraim is a busted unit so his route is ez. Eirika sucks ass tho and will die to everything even axe units so her route is hard
@@mtj8870 IMO, 3H maddening is nowhere near the most difficult. Divine pulse alone makes it easy to get out of almost any sticky situation, and 3H also gives you so many additional options that weren’t in previous entries, like busted combat arts (Hunter’s Volley, Swift Strikes, etc.), repositionals (reposition, draw back, etc.), and battalion gambits (Retribution, Impregnable Wall, literally any attacking gambit).
Good list, but I don't agree with many of your picks.
-Zelda 2 is way harder than the first Zelda (and far less enjoyable)
-Mario 3D Land is not only the easiest 3D Mario but the easiest Mario in general, being neck to neck with New Super Mario Bros. 2, if only because that last level in 3D Land is quite challenging. Both Galaxy 1 and 2 are pretty easy as well, if it weren't for those shooting star challenges they'd be a walk in the park. I feel you chose Galaxy 2 as the 2nd place only because that infernal last level, which is pretty tough. 3D World is quite more challenging my opinion.
-Metroid 1 is by far the hardest metroid (non-Prime) game. Metroid 2 is not hard, only slow-paced and dull, sometimes frustrating as well.
-And as far as I know (I haven't played it) DK country 3 is considered to be the hardest one. The first DK country is quite the challenge too, and although DKC returns is hard, is not even as hard as the first DK country, but twice as fun, that's true.
i feel like Metroid Prime 2 is the hardest metroid game
@@brandengraffagnino4280 If he split the Mario games in 3D and 2D, I think is only fair to do that as well with the Metroid games. I played the first Metroid Prime and I enjoyed it a lot, but that's the only one I played, so I couldn't tell whether Prime 2 is the hardest, sorry.
I find it weird that his only reason for it being the most difficult is the map, getting lost in a game doesn't make it hard it is the actual enemies and platforming that does. Losing 4 hours on a level getting lost isn't a big deal maybe frustrating but not difficult
Similar to Metroid II, DKC3 is just slower paced and combines some thought-inducing but fast puzzles with 2D platforming levels, and the level gimmicks take a bigger spotlight due to this (it's not a surprise this team went on to make Banjo-Kazooir). If anything the bonus sections are way harder rather than feeling like an achievement for finding the B-barrels, but even then if you fail this game more than the others will let you most of the time go back to said barrels easily without having to repeat the level.
I agree with every single point here
He should have seperated 2d and 3d zelda
i sort of think 3D land is the easiest. I beat that game in less than two days.
i agree its easier but not because you can beat it in a shorter amount of time... the length of a game doesnt really have much to do with the difficulty
@@huffletuff7 I had problems but then again my first playthrough I wouldnt move on if I didnt get all 3 Star Coins or else it would've taken me a few hours of playing straight
I haven't played all of 3d land (It was my brother's game. He got that while I got new super Mario bros 2.) so I can't really say but from the way that my brother easily went through a lot of levels (until he got stuck at one point), I think u might be right. (Yes he did eventually beat the game)
@@hydellas678 It only took me a few hours to beat the first 8 worlds with every star coin
@@NinetyLegos Lucky lol.
Zero Mission is amazing!! It might not be hard but I'd never call it boring
Preach, Zero Mission is amazing!
Yoshis crafted world might be super easy but in my opinion it’s one of the most charming games I’ve played. Irs simple yet every level felt very different and j enjoyed every second of it.
Pikmin 2(Hell) and Pikmin 3(Heaven)
Totally agree. Pikmin 2 could get downright _brutal_ with some of its cave layouts and enemies. Randomly falling rocks, bomb rocks, insta-death electricity, enemies that regained health after death? Yeah, it did not mess around. Purple Pikmin did help a bit, though.
Pikmin 3 was _sooo_ much easier than 2. The fruit juice system was very generous. Many of the enemies and bosses seemed _easier_ to take out than the previous games. The charge attack also makes short work of many baddies. I never really feared for my life like I did in 2.
Pikmin 1 still seems the most balanced Pikmin game, but still pretty easy (not as easy as 3, though). Only having Red, Yellow and Blue keeps things simple, but most enemies aren't too tough (you'll still most likely lose a bunch in some encounters). If you had access to Flying, Purple and Rock Pikmin you could totally break this game in half, though! 😅
@SHON Oh, I forgot about Hey! Pikmin. I actually never played it. I heard it wasn't too hard. How challenging is it?
64 was actually challenging, or at least frustrating because of the bs and jank that went into it. Most times the game itself is the biggest challenge rather than the obstacles.
16:40 Ultra sun and moon's ultra Necrozma: I exist man
my mom bought me a pirated copy of DK on the ds and it was literally impossible to finish because the anti-piracy feature literally deleted some level exits. 100% hardest DK game ever
Pirated DK lol
I don't think pirated games would count for the list.
@aquatic man you butchered that so bad
@aquatic neither does how many times you like your own comment
@aquatic it does matter, it shows you don't have reddit
Super Mario 64's janky camera controls make it far from easy
Don't forget about rainbow crusie & tick tock clock
Playing the Switch version while your joycons drift make the game actually bad, no offense.
@@dmk12345 that's a hardware issue not game issue
@@craydussy I know, but the Switch shouldn't had had this problem in the first place.
"When it comes to Zelda, the original is the hardest."
Zelda II: Am I a joke to you?
Also, I found the Spring Breeze section in Super Star, which is basically an updated Dreamland, to be pretty easy. I beat it in under 30 minutes.
For Pokemon, I'd argue that Gold/Silver/Crystal are the hardest. You have basically nowhere to train by the time you get to the end of your Johto run and the huge level swing when you get to Kanto is pretty crazy. Not to mention fights like Whitney, Morty, Claire, Lance and Red are harder than just about every fight in D/P/P outside of Cynthia imo
I'm 100% wuth you
I beat red in Pokémon Crystal with my entire team around Level 55, with a Meganium, Lanturn, Arcanine, Espeon, Forretress, & Ursaring
On Metroid: I would say Prime 2 takes the cake for me at least, it had by far one of the hardest bosses (other bosses were also pretty difficult for the most part) in the series and some annoying mechanics, but Metroid II is a good choice that I can agree with.
On Fire Emblem: If you're playing blind and not knowing the mechanics (which is reasonably the majority of players), Fire Emblem: Thracia 776 is the hardest, yes, but once you get to know the mechanics it is more easy than what people make it out to be. I guess that this list considers the overall difficulty of the game, not just a simple mode, but I would say that the hardest game in a Fire Emblem game is Awakening on Lunatic+ difficulty. You have to constantly reset for the enemy to have certain skills so you can play in your favour, but even if you manage to do so you still need get lucky to even have a chance. Awakening Lunatic+ is Frederick Emblem for the first part and for the second using your avatar (Robin) equipped with Nosferatu tomes lol.
Good video tho👍
Super Metroid was really hard for me
Super Metroid gave me the most trouble, yeah.
Just out of curiosity, what did you see in Super Metroid that was hard? I'm not saying it is an easy game (It is not, and I don't think that Metroid has any easy games aside from Zero Mission, but even in ZM some bosses gave me trouble), I'm genuinely asking where did you have problems. I'm guessing that the pit you fall from Brinstar to Norfair, Maridia + Phantoon and Tourian were the ones you found difficult? I'm just curious since Super is one of my favorites and I love analyzing its structure lol
Yeah, I'd vote Metroid Prime 2 as the hardest Metroid as well (at least for the 3D Metroids). The Boost Guardian, Alpha Blogg, Chykka, Spider Guardian, Quadraxis, and Dark Samus all can obliterate you if you don't know what you're doing. The darkness mechanic added a lot of tension, so you were always playing in "survival mode". I mean, Metroid Prime did have some challenging sections, but Prime 2 ramps up the difficulty considerably even from the beginning.
@Armourslayer Draygon was by far for me the hardest boss fight I died literally like 30 times. Over all, I loved tha game as a whole
Wario Land 4 has a hard mode that ups the difficulty of enemies. It also has a new game + of sorts that allows you to play the game with only 1 heart. I agree that the main game is easy, but with 1 heart it becomes a pretty fun challenge.
The hard mode also moves some of the collectibles making them frustratingly hard to find!
So you're saying SM64 is the easiest just because it was first? That game is probably one of the hardest due the controls and camera. 3D Land, 3D World, Bowser's Fury, and even Odyssey and Galaxy 1 are easier than 64.
@SHON overall he is right though, Mario 64 as a whole is more challenging than Galaxy, though galaxy post game is much hard than Mario 64
Best and worst music in every Nintendo franchise??
Best mario galaxy or akyward sword
Worst. One of the metriod series...(i only played triology and i dont remember them by names)
Now I must say I love to see a franchise ranking from easiest to hardest and of course ignoring the completionist or actually making two ranking one with easiest to complete the main game and hardest to 100%. Especially for Mario, Metriod, and Zelda franchise.
I can’t be the only one confused by dk64 being listed as the hardest can I? I find it very much less challenging than the typical dkc games
Uh......I'm gonna be honest here, dk64 deserves that spot. Compared to the country games it is a freaking monstrosity when it comes to the difficulty level. Eh put another way, the God dang controls r horrible. (I love this game btw so please don't think I'm dissing it or anything.)
*"every nintendo franchise"*
F-Zero and Pikmin: 👁️👄👁️
@Lucas M3 yeah, and doesnt Nintendo not even own pokemon? or did they buy out hal? if not, he shouldn't have put pokemon in
I think Zelda II the hardest, but it is really underrated. Nostalgia factors in too!
How is Zelda 2 not the hardest?! That game is literally almost unfair! This was a great video though!
Because he hasn't played it
Personally, donkey kong country tropical freeze is a lot harder than returns for me. Idk why, but playing through tropical freezes K levels was a lot more pain than returns. And yes, I completed both games in 100%. Currently trying to beat returns on 200%.
Really surprised Zelda II wasn't chosen for hardest.
Dude seriously just called Zero Mission “boring.”
I actually played Metroid II (without a guide, map, or color enhancements). It's not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.
Yes, you can get lost but it's more on the account of where to go next rather then not knowing where you're at. Like a good Metroidvania game, Metroid II actually challenges you to remember the path you made through the labyrinth.
It also helps that the general means of progression is made pretty clear. You know that there's more areas as you dig deeper underground, so a map isn't necessary for figuring out where to go.
However, the map is pretty necessary to find the energy/missile restore points, since the Omega Metroids at the end of the game eat up so many resources that you have to backtrack a bunch just to make the fights possible.
I think the easiest 3D Mario game is either Super Mario Galaxy, Odyssey, or 3D Land
Odyssey or 3d land. Not galaxy...
2 words 3D world
@@timothy4690 galaxy is easy tho
@@timothy4690 i think Odyssey. Yes, you have the 3 life pieces mode, but the story line is short, the bosses very easy and repetitive, the enemies quite easy to avoid and basically you can finish the game in a week. Yes, you have to find all the rest of the moons and the Darker Side level is very tough, but the game is still too easy
It is hard to say because he talks about 100% completing over just beating the game, so must of those games are extremely easy to beat but have a few challenges that are difficult after the main game
I'm not complaining, I'm just here to ask, did you forget about Zelda II The Adventure of Link?
I totally agree that super Mario sunshine was the hardest. I found that the secret levels were nightmarish at points
same
yea agreed
I have to make Zelda 2 my argument for the hardest in the series
I really can't believe that Zelda 2 wasn't selected as the hardest Zelda game. That game really pissed me off on NES. Thank God for save states on emulation
Very good Video👍🏻💪🏻
But you forgot Pikmin
>Zelda 2 not the hardest Zelda
>Zero Mission is boring because it's not frustratingly and unfairly hard like the OG NES Metroid
>Minish Cap is easy and boring because you don't feel any "danger", whatever the heck that means
>Not separating the 2D and 3D Metroids and Zeldas, even though their gameplay is just about a different as the 2D and 3D Marios

Also
>"Every Nintendo franchise"
>forgets or completely ignores F-Zero, Kid Icarus, and Golden Sun (among others)
Some factual error too; he says Fire Emblem Thracia 776 came out in western markets on the Wii Virtual Console. It didn't. It has never gotten an official English release.
Just like Nintendo, you forgot F-Zero exists.
None is easy, only less difficult
Xenoblade and Pikmin miss as well.
Did this dude seriously left out F Zero? It's literally the hardest racing game ever known.
“These facts make the game not only frustrating but also bAd”
Lmao, this man wilin. Also, it took me 10 hours to beat Zero Mission on my first play through. Take that as you will.
Super Mario 64 camera is probably why 64 is hard to do.
Zelda 2 is harder than the original. It starts out fine, but after Death Mountain the enemies are incredibly unfair. Zelda 1 may be confusing, but I’d say the second is harder.
This guy just said Zelda two is not the hardest Zelda game!!!
I think most people who played all of Pokémon will agree, Pokémon Stadium 1&2 or Colosseum & Gale of Darkness are the most difficult…
I think Breath of the wild is super difficult, but I had never played a Zelda game. I was to totally a virgin to it.
Zelda has actually always had a good difficulty curve all the games have something in them to make you rage quit, by far the hardest of the Nintendo franchises to beat
You always have great video ideas
I don't know why everyone hates on Donkey Kong 64 that's still to this day my favorite Donkey Kong game
I like Donkey Kong 64
Thank you for listening to one of my ideas
I don’t remember how I hoped aboard the Copycat train, all I know is that it was a while ago, and I’m glad I stuck with it.
A few odd choices here. 2D and 3D Mario are separated, but Zelda is lumped together, and 3D Metroid is entirely ignored.
Also, the creator doesn't seem to have much Wario Land experience. Describing Shake It as an amalgamation of all previous games is odd. It basically follows 4's formula, and actually downplays many elements 4 shared with the earlier games (removing certain moves, and severely cutting down the variety and amount of times status transformations are used).
It's all opinion, no big deal.
I wish people would realize just because something is easy for you doesn't mean it is for everyone.
You are so right about wario land on wii. I could never complete that one
"-every Nintendo franchise"
*basically only includes the Nintendo franchises that appear in smash bros*
Well, name a Nintendo franchise that did not appear in Smash
And yet F-Zero is nowhere to be found.
My mind was blown at, “I completed it in only two playthroughs.” 😄
Thought it was only me
"Zero Mission's bosses are easy!"
Mother Brain: allow me to introduce myself
I’d say it’s more annoying that challenging, though I think Metroid Sami’s Returns is the most difficult Metroid games
@@zaneheaston8254 I agree that it's annoying but it definitely ain't easy
Why do I get the feeling this guy has only played half the games he mentions
BRUHHHH you started talking about easiest Zelda and showed Windwaker and I yelled at my tv no it's minnish cap. Good pick imho.
"Kirby has usually the easier games"
Me who has played kirby mass attack and kirbys amazing mirror: "mmmm hmmm"
I actually breezed through the Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door but I abused the mechanics of the Last Stand Badge (+2 attack when in danger and cost 1 BP to equip). I called it my Danger Mario Build or One-Jump Man.
I invested all my levels into BP and got like 20-30 Last Stand badges from the Pianta parlor and equipped all of them with 2-3 FP Savers, FP Drain, HP Drain, and protection badges (I.e. jump protection from fire/ spikey enemies and badges that raise evasion when in danger or raise defense). You can easily equip all this with like 50 BP.
Then went to Cheato and reduced my max HP to 5 so I was always in Danger and invested those levels from HP into BP for more wiggle room.
At most you would take 1-2 if I got hit. 70% of attacks would miss. And HP Drain would heal the damage you did take. All of Mario’s special attacks cost 1-2 FP that would recover after I attacked with FP Drain. And I would do deal 40+ damage PER HIT. So I was able to one shot every enemy (including BoneTail and Shadow Queen after all the mandatory cut scenes) with a Multibounce.
Kirby's Epic Yarn is a very easy game, and very chill. That's one reason why I love it so much! Going for 100% completion makes for some extra challenge.
i so wish more people had played kirby squeak squad (or mouse attack as it's labelled on my box lol). it's not necessarily a difficult game but dang is it fun. super nostalgic for it too
Yeah, Squeak Squad is fun. If you just need a nice and relaxed game, Squeak Squad is great. It doesn't stray far from the traditional Kirby formula, but I think that is why it is enjoyable.
In all honesty, black and white two are most likely the hardest games, especially if you include the challenge mode.
TBH I wouldn't count them since you need to beat the game in normal difficulty in order to unlock the hard mode, plus it pretty much only gives you a level disadvantage with trainers rather than modifying the layout and making the HMs less of an optional tool, not to mention that since G5 the TMs have unlimited use. On the other hand, DPP are not only slow but have some tough routes and a heavy need for HMs that pretty much force you to sacrifice at least one team slot in order to go through (let alone the foggy route, if you don't have a bird pokémon it's gonna be a pain), so by the time you reach the Elite 4 and Cynthia some members of your team will most likely be underleveled as a result. It's not as hard battle-wise but rather design-wise and that makes it more tedious in the long run.
Nahh, they're easy
Not the Easiest Game In the Series but they're still easy
Audino XP farming overlevels everything
Sun and Moon are harder games than BW
Imo, Platinum is the hardest Pokemon game
Tbh, the easiest paper Mario is Sticker Star
besides very short
It's incredibly unfair puzzles balance it out
While the original Legend of Zelda is difficult, Zelda 2: The Adventures of Link makes the original look like child's play by comparison. The first time i played The legend of Zelda I may have died a little over a dozen times, in Zelda 2 I lost track of the amount of times i died, but i wouldn't doubt it was close to the hundreds.
Excuse me in WHAT WORLD is the original Zelda harder than the 2nd?
Why do we have separate easy and hardest for 2d Mario, 3D Mario, and rpg Mario, wario land, and wario ware
But we don’t have 2d zelda, and 3D zelda?
What about classic fighting games like Ninja Turtles, Marvel Character games, Streets of Rage, etc ? Did you do a list on these games ?
14:54 Obviously, he hasnt fought Kamek yet
14:23 The screens are not perfectly synced because they account for the space between the screens on the system. That does leave a small blind spot, but it feels more natural when you’re playing.
Maybe you should not have said EVERY in the title but still really good
Id actually argue that Fire Emblem Fates, more specifically Birthright, is the easiest in the series, mostly because of Phoenix Mode which basically makes you invincible as long as you keep one unit alive. That alongside the weapons that have no durability and the potential DLC that can give you very easy access to grinding (if purchased) allow you to basically be strong enough to not even come close to losing a single battle and also allows you to take reckless decisions with no consequences whatsoever.
Fun fact: Kirby star allies is the hardest and the easiest game of the franchise at the same time
Explain
@@Pandacalifornia The main game is pathetic, but wait till you play heroes in another dimension and the ultimate choice. This is a sign that hal had enough of us complaining that kirby is too easy and they gave us the middle finger by these 2 modes. (3.0 update)
Neat list! Thanks for uploading!
0:35 oh is that Cynthia?
*Likes video*
Sacred Stone is only easy because Seth. Which is just win button. Also Sacred stone is the easiest for first playthrough. If you go for 2nd optimize playthrough. Awakening and Echoes is probably much easier than Sacred Stone. Especially if you include DLC.
Platinum, having one of the most balanced pokedexs, What!
Dude, have you SEEN the Diamond/Pearl Pokedex? If you wanted to use a Fire Type... Well, hope you like monkeys or ponies. ^^;
I definitely must disagree with Zelda 1 being the hardest rather than Zelda 2.
The controls and cámara of 64 alone makes it a hard game.
I feel bad because everyone in the comments is kinda roasting the picks, but I disagree with the majority of the picks here so I'm just gonna get this out of the way:
2D Mario: Both of these picks are pretty agreeable
3D Mario: Super Mario 3D Land is definitely easier than 64, absolutely no doubt in my mind. I agree with Sunshine though.
(Why not separate 2D and 3D Zelda?)
2D Zelda: Zelda II is WAY harder than Zelda 1. I've beaten both, it's no question. Minish cap seems reasonable.
3D Zelda: Skyward Sword or Breath of the Wild are probably the easiest, but they are all quite close. Majora's Mask is almost certainly the hardest.
Mario RPG: I agree with these picks for the most part, but I think you could make a case for any of the modern Paper Mario games being the easiest, especially Sticker Star.
2D Metroid: Ok, Metroid II isn't a *bad* game, it's just rough. Metroid NES is definitely the harder game though, it's worse than 2 in every possible way. Agreed on ZM.
Metroid Prime: Honestly only played the first one so far, so ig that's the easiest. Prime 4 is the hardest because it will never release.
Donkey Kong: DKC is the easiest? No way! Returns is a mile easier. The hardest is probably one of the country games or DK64, but I think I agree with 64.
Starfox: Not really a big fan, but shouldn't Starfox 2 on SNES be considered harder? If the first game was jank, 2 is almost unplayable with it's bizzare control schemes and ambition.
Wario Land: Yeah this is pretty accurate from what I have played, although I haven't played most of them.
WarioWare: Gold contains a lot of extra modes that are really brutal compared to other entries, but the story is the easiest. Otherwise I agree with your picks.
Kirby: This is the craziest part of your list. Epic Yarn HAS to be the easiest game! No game is really hard, but mass attack is not a bad pick imo.
Yoshi: I agree with your picks here.
Fire Emblem/Pokemon: I don't care much for these series aside from a couple games in each, so I can't comment here.
To add a couple series you didn't mention:
Xenoblade: This is a surprisingly hard question. Difficulty is very consistent across the games, but I think 2 is on the easier side? Maybe?
Mother/Earthbound: Mother 1 is obviously the hardest by far. Mother 3 is probably the easiest. That one was easy!
For the 3D Mario section I was betting that 3D world will be the Easiest
Same
Champions road
@@riahlexington peach Tanooki tail makes it easier
What about Splatoon? What about Mario Kart? What about Mario Sports Games? What about Earthbound? What about F-Zero? What about Kid Icarus? What about my beloved Pikmin? What about Smash Bros. (Subspace Emissary / World of Light)? What about Chibi Robo? What about Rhythm Heaven? What about Animal Crossing? What about Punch Out? What about Xenoblade?
And He actually called it every single Nintendo franchise...
I know it's Nitpicky but he should at least have included some of the bigger names like Splatoon, Animal Crossing and Pikmin that each have a bit to talk about.
I've played Thracia before and honestly it isn't very hard, it's personally my favorite game in the series. The fog of war is a hard mechanic but you are given multiple torches in the game. The game also has the scrolls mechanics which modifies character growths and help to make characters stronger. Along with that the universal stat cap is 20 so even bad units can become really good. I'd personally say the hardest game in the franchise is FE6 (from my experience), characters are often bad, the main lord is a terrible character in terms of stats, the RNG for hit rated is bugged and characters often have hit rates around the 50-70% which means you're prone to miss boss-killer hits a lot of the time, Sacae route is almost impossible, and very RNG dependant, bosses are so busted they can make Rutger (the unit you mostly use for boss-killing due to his great speed/skill/attack and his ability to use a Legendary weapon early into the game) look like a bad unit.
“.....EVERY Nintendo Franchise.....”
Punch-Out: so that was a fucking lie
You did not count 3d metroid seprately? Why? 💀
If Kid Icarus was on this list I think the first game is the hardest (despite it's Final Boss) and the easiest would be Uprising partly because you can choose the difficulty.
