Wrong Level

World 5-B can be played in Challenge Mode. Someone change this. -TheUnknown67 (talk) 12:35, 30 June 2016 (EDT)

You're free to change it yourself. Hello, I'm Time Turner. 12:36, 30 June 2016 (EDT)

Differences in block placements

"It has a few different block locations"
Can someone verify if this is true (and in case it is, add a picture of the block location differences)?

Merge into Hard Mode?

Why is this page kept separate from Hard Mode? I understand this article mentions that the NSMB Challenge mode doesn't change enemy placement, but not all games in the Hard Mode page do. I think it would simply be more practical to merge this into Hard Mode, keeping its unique name noted in the section.— Lady Sophie_17 ^(T|C) 09:51, October 29, 2024 (EDT)

Because of the fact that all it does is cause the screen to not scroll back except on certain stages. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 07:03, November 2, 2024 (EDT)

I wouldn’t consider that enough to warrant its own page, it’s still a harder mode in a game. — Lady Sophie_17 ^(T|C) 07:24, November 2, 2024 (EDT)

Merge to Hard Mode

This talk page proposal has already been settled. Please do not edit this section or its subsections. If you wish to discuss the article, please do so in a new section below the proposal.

Merge 8-0
See discussion above. Hard Mode already describes plenty of harder modes in the Mario franchise, even those not necessarily called "Hard Mode", such as the "new quest" in Super Mario Bros. or the Hidden Mansion in Luigi's Mansion. Why is it split? ...Seemingly just because it was made on its own back in 2014 (despite Hard Mode being made back in 2013), and because the only major difference is making the screen not scroll back, rather than new enemies or different level design, and because it's called "Challenge" and not "Hard Mode"... Nevermind that Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope is present, which has a different name in the form of "Demanding Difficulty", and only changes enemy stats, and its presence on the Hard Mode page has been entirely uncontested.

Merge to Hard Mode/Support

1. Camwoodstock (talk) We can't think of any reason these should be split without us splitting a lot of other stuff from Hard Mode, quite frankly.
2. EvieMaybe (talk) hard modes make more sense merged together. it's a generic mechanic and each game has its own twist and name for it, but they're all hard modes.
3. Kaptain Skurvy (talk) Sure, the Challenge mode may feature some differences from other hard modes, but, still, at its core, it is just a hard mode. Per all.
4. Sorbetti (talk) Per proposal.
5. Rykitu (talk) Per all. This is basically the hard mode of the game.
6. Altendo (Hard | Challenge) Per.
7. Rering644 (talk) Per proposal.
8. Technetium (talk) No challenge here! Per proposal.
