I would love to find easy ways to beat 8-2 and 8-3, so if you have anything it would be nice to know :)

¤8-3¤ 8-3 is really easy once you get used to the 2 hammer bros on the 3 platforms part. What I was doing a lot, was to go past the first 2 hammer bros 3 platforms part, and go to the right just enough so bros dissapear, but the mushroom on that part is still available.

To get past the hammer bro part easier, stay where hammer bros can't harm you, but you can see them. When the bottom part is all empty of them, quickly run through.

The single hammer bros are a lot easier, just run as quickly as possible and jump above each one, there is by my opinion 80% chance to not get killed...

¤8-2¤ Pick up the 8-2 mushroom, it should help you.

Besides that, 8-2 doesn't have an easier way (besides being slower), maybe the pipe to get past 3 turtles...

If you haven't, check out Darbian's tutorial, which explains everything exept flagpole glitch, which wasn't discovered yet, when he made that tutorial: Link:

Hope that helps.

Thank you so much!

Good luck on your runs!
