Super Mario Bros 3 Construction Page

In Super Mario Bros 3 (SMB3) King Koopa (Bowser) showed his 7 evil children for the first time.
They had each captured a mushroom King and turned him into an animal, while they redesigned
the mushroom kingdom to their own personal playground.

Probably the coolest thing in SMB3 is Mario/Luigi's ability to use different powerbonuses which
depended on which situation he was. A swinsuit which made him look like a frog, made him a much
better at swimming. A special shoe gave him the power to walk on needles, and a special leaf
made him able to fly.. The special bonuses like the P-wings and the Jugems clouds let Mario or
Luigi fly across or pass a stage.


SMB3 also has bonus games like a memory game of star wars galaxy of heroes hack, a slot machine with a special "Mario" design and the good ol' Mario Bros game is also included (though only when playing a two-player game).Mario's world of adventure took a huge step forward with the release of Super Mario Bros.3. The graphics were so much better than the first one, and some might say even better than no. 2, the enemies were better and many more than ever before.

With the new MMC3-chip Mario now could go forward and back in the game. This was very useful if you had forgotten something in an earlier stage or if you wanted to collect more bonuses. In SMB3
there were more stages to explore than ever before. And each stage also had an over- and
underworld which Mario had to explore.

SMB3 has flutes which will let Mario warp between the 8 worlds. When SMB3 was released there
were a lot of rumors about these flutes. Many people claimed that they dident exist and were
just a myth. Well today we all know that there are three flutes in SMB3 right? ;)


A guy i talked to on IRC (AstroNT) sent me a part of an article posted in an old Nintendo Power issue. He promished me that when he got around to scanning the rest of the article (mainly the text, no the text above is not from NP) he would send it to me, though that never happened. So sorry, I cant give you the rest of the article.
