Super Mario Bros. 3
Monday November5, 2007 7:03 am in NES
Remember when no one had ever heard of a Tanooki Suit or knew that Bowser had a clan of Koopalings? The game that made these things common knowledge is also considered by many to be one of the best ever made. Bowser and the Koopalings are causing chaos yet again, but this time they’re going beyond the Mushroom Kingdom into the seven worlds that neighbor it. Now Mario and Luigi must battle new enemies, returning favorites and a new Koopaling in each unique and distinctive world on their way to ultimately taking on Bowser himself. Luckily for the brothers, they have more power-ups available than ever before. Fly above the action using the Super Leaf, swim faster by donning the Frog Suit or defeat enemies using the Hammer Bros. Suit. Use the brand-new overworld map to take the chance to play a minigame in hopes of gaining extra lives or to find a Toad’s House where you can pick up additional items. All this (and more) combines into one of gaming’s most well-known and beloved titles—are you ready to experience gaming bliss?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!
I remember playing this game for the Super NES since I was a 6 years old, and I also remember playing this game for the Game Boy Advance since I was 17 years old and now I just realize that this game has finally been rereleased for the virtual console on November 5th 2007, So in the mean time go and get a wii points card and download this classic game.
all i have to say is booya
Booya indeed!
My only annoyance is that it took them this long for it to come out - I’ve been playing SMB1 and SMB2 (J) in the meantime. Kudos for finally delivering the goods.
Oh heck yeah, I myself will be downloading this one as soon as I possibly can.
Heck yes! Ever since I found out the SNES version wasn’t the original version, I’ve been waiting to play the NES version.
I <3 SMB3
yea, I believe the SNES one was in the Super Mario Allstars cart. Which also included the real Mario Bros. 2 called “The Lost Levels” but I’m pretty sure they just revamped the graphics in all the original games. The gameplay levels etc where all the same.
is anyone having emulation issues with their download? The left side of the play screen during levels is missing some major pixels and the right side is constantly screwing up. i really hope this issue is just for me or is resolved by nintendo if not. Kirby for VC seems to have this same issue. not coo!
only problem I had was some error when I tried to download it… it said to try again and i did and it worked. This game is just as good as I remember… god the memories came flooding back.
I remember back in the day, when I was about 3 years old, and I had an NES. Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first video game I have ever played in my life, and I fell in love with this game ever since. This is still my favorite video game of all time.
Playing it on my Wii after all these years, though…
It’s even better than I remembered.
If someone does not have or enjoy Super Mario Bros 3, then there is something seriously wrong with that person. End of story.
Props for the best game ever made. Mad respect. Download this. If you don’t have an NES, or this game already, then for the love of god, download this now.
That is all.
