18: Albatoss Airlines
Super
Mario Brothers 2 introduced a lot of cool, quirky gameplay aspects to
the series, but one of my personal favorites was the idea the jumping
onto an enemy's back might not immediately kill said enemy. The idea of
riding on an enemy over an otherwise deadly obstacle opened the game's
level design up to all sorts of interesting possibilities. My favorite
of which is today's moment.

| All aboard! |
Basically, you hop aboard an albatoss (my favorite
SMB2 enemy) and ride it (or one of the other albatosses, there are a
couple of connecting flights) for the duration of the level. There are
several spots where some quick maneuvering is required (particularly if
you end up on the lower-flying bird, who leads you straight through
every dangerous area he can possibly find).
