Idk, I 100%ed it in like 2.5 days. There were only two levels that took me more than 3 attempts, and both were in the special world.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

My mission to 100 percent Super Mario Bros. Wonder officially started a couple of weeks ago, but really it began in the late ‘80s.

That’s key because they’re often in tricky spots, and if the game required you to finish the level on one life to retain the coin, I think I would have thrown my Switch into the sea.

Cumulatively, I went through hours of play and hundreds of lives over the course of a week after tucking my kid into bed to slowly master the final-final test’s challenges.

I confessed to Verge’s games Slack channel that I was attempting to clear the last level, and my colleague Jay Peters offered some encouragement.

Five nights into my quest to beat it, my sanity was on a razor’s edge, and I clung to my “it’s just practice” mantra as I slowly mastered the first part of the stage.

I celebrated as loudly as one can with a sleeping child down the hall, collected the game’s last badge, and realized I didn’t know what to do next aside from gloating on Threads.
