About Super Mario Bros. 3

Super Mario Bros. 3, the third entry in the Super Mario Bros. series and Super Mario franchise, sees Mario or Luigi navigate a nonlinear world map containing platforming levels and optional minigames and challenges. The game features more diverse movement options and new items alongside more complex level designs and boss battles.

I keep coming back to this one more than I probably should admit, and honestly the world map alone does more for replayability than half the newer platformers…

    I keep coming back to this one more than I probably should admit, and honestly the world map alone does more for replayability than half the newer platformers I own, the sheer variety of power ups and level gimmicks still feels fresh every single run, so seeing it stuck at 80th just feels off to me, this thing shaped the genre and it still plays great today.

    Ces fameux gimmicks de niveaux, ça reste varié mais la maniabilité rame un peu sur certains passages face à des jeux plus récents.

    80e c'est déjà trop haut pour un jeu de carte monde qu'on refait par nostalgie plus que par plaisir réel.

    a mí me lo prestó un vecino, o mejor dicho su hermano mayor, y no lo solté en semanas, así que discrepo un poco.

    carte monde. justement c'est ça qui fait qu'on y revient encore, la nostalgie n'a rien à voir là dedans.

    El puesto 80 me parece bajo para lo que representa, aunque entiendo que estos duelos son así de raros.
