I think you're definitely right.

There was a year in college where my friends and I grinded the real smb2 when it was available on the Wii shop.

It destroyed us. I don't think we ever beat it. We were stuck on the third world for most of the year and it was super deflating.

I still go back every now and then to get through it and even with save states it's just a gauntlet.

I love it for that though.

I played it on SNES as "The Lost Levels" in Super Mario All Stars. Being able to restart at each world & not go back to 1-1 every time probably helped, but I beat it way before I beat American SMB2.

I agree, for what it is it's pretty cool. I've never gotten past a certain point either. I have a feeling it's a big reason for the easier difficulty and extra side challenges in later games.
