Take the 'Professor Oak' challenges in Pokรฉmon as an example: even though they're considered Subsets here, they're deeply rooted in the core mechanics of the gameโcatching them all is a natural challenge the game presents. On the other hand, Super Mario World doesnโt encourage playing as Mini Mario. Itโs not Kaizo Marioโthereโs no real design incentive to avoid Power-Ups, so forcing yourself to do so ends up feeling unnatural and unrewarding.
This is actually the first game Iโm planning to master here, mainly because of the legendary status it holds for me. Iโd just suggest that challenges like these, which arenโt really supported by the gameโs design, might be better suited for a Subset rather than the main set.
Said and done. My first mastery had to be Super Mario World. This game is legendary to meโnot just for what it is, but for what it means.
I still remember playing it with my best friend when we were kids. We'd start a new file almost every time, but I only ever wanted to play the first world. Anything beyond that felt too difficultโIโd hand over the controller, afraid of the ghosts, the lava, or just the unknown. It's funny thinking about that now, because today, playing this game feels like muscle memory. Itโs like my hands already know every jump, every block, every secretโlike theyโre following a script written years ago.
Mastering this game here felt more like a tribute than a challenge. A way to honor all those hours spent passing the controller back and forth, arguing over who got to play next, and laughing at silly mistakes. Itโs surreal how something that once felt intimidating is now second nature.
โ โ โ โ โ - Five stars for what this game means, specially for retro-gaming lovers, but those Mini Mario ones could have been easily left aside.
First game played in SNES and now is completed.
The Most difficult achievements imo are mini mario challenges and everything is lava
Really challenging and fun!
Having a main set that's exceedingly difficult, especially on a popular game, doesn't bolster the community. It pushes people out of that community. And then you get people wandering in unaware and getting pitchforked in the arse by the elite few left behind to gatekeep and make sure no common scrub could ever be granted mastery.
Most of us are just here to feel a bit of nostalgia and have a record of games we beat and hopefully mastered. A scattered few are here to directly compete with everybody else and don't want it to be fun and enticing for as many people as possible. They want it to be a place for only the most elite to show off their accolades. They want to be able to measure their self-worth against the tough achievements they've conquered. They want to feel better than the people that couldn't earn a certain achievement.
Take a look at Metroid Zero Mission. It's hugely popular on this site, but the achievements are so insane that you've got even speedrunners in the comments saying "yeah this is a bit much". And not a thing has been done about it. But that also highlights overarching theme here on Retro Achievements. Not a lot ever changes once a set is published. It's entirely up to the dev unless it actually violates some very oblique rules.
Maybe they should just change the term from "Mastered" to "Gilded" or something. So that it just means you've completed all the achievements without the connotation of mastery. One suggests doing everything you can do in the game, the other implies a very high level of skill. And the sets on this site are all over the spectrum between 100%-ing and mastering.
I've only mastered 17 games but if at any point somebody came along and made the achievements for those games easier, that's fine by me.
Like a good chunk of the masters here, I dedicated time to accomplishing each one of the achievements.
Iโm proud of knocking it out and the feeling I had just popping the โeverything is lavaโ cheevo was pure joy. adjusting the cheevos to be easier is an insult to those who dedicated their time to mastering.
Sorry @darly, I disagree with your argument because it just sounds like an excuse.
After all, RetroAchievements is a place built by fans of games, for other fans of games. Who exactly would someone be trying to impress by making a set overly difficult? Other players who are probably here for the same reasonโto pay tribute to the classics they love? It just doesn't add up for me. If anything, it almost feels like a misunderstanding of the spirit of the community.
At best, maybe the developers who create these super challenging sets are just exceptionally skilled at the games they loveโwell above the average player. And thatโs understandable; some people are simply better than others. But to me, it doesnโt seem like thereโs much point in showing off or trying to create "status" in a space that was clearly meant to celebrate games, not gatekeep them.
Again, I'm still new here, but that's the feeling I've gotten so far.
Generally things are pretty great here. But when something not great crops up they're often feels like there's little you can do about it.
Ultimately though you have to be careful about which achievements are unreasonable and which just require more effort than people would like to put in. People don't like the mini Mario achievements in this set. They can be tough, but they're not unreasonable. The only one that's unreasonable is the flying fish level, but eventually I got through that one too. Twice. And I feel like a better player now.
A lot of angry posts on this site are heat of the moment reactions to being frustrated over an achievement they have trouble with. But they too eventually get the achievement.
It's mostly great here. As I said. I don't find anything wrong with this set, personally, but if changes were made and it made a lot of people happy, I've got no problem with it. And I understand why people don't want the bar to be lowered, ever, but I don't agree with it. Wanting people to struggle just like you did is kind of bizarre. And not being able to understand that other people might be struggling is equally bizarre.
We are all here have a good time. I'm always in favor of what lets more people have a good time.
This is a solid set. Thank you, all the authors.
Itโs very fun beating this game, but there is a savage difficulty curve in some of the final cheevos if you go for 100%. Mini Mario III felt particularly cruel with the very hard to avoid checkpoint on Valley 4, which could bork a run right at the doors of Bowsers Castle and require a restart back to Choco 1.
But you know what, restarting multiple times meant I got really good at all those levels. Same with Mini Mario Special. And I guess feeling like youโre (kinda) mastering the game is what the mastery badge is all about.
