An awesome game whether it is the 8-bit system of NES or the 16-bit SNES. A must play for any gamer out there! This game is definately the best of the Mario Bros. video games. Not one Mario Bros. game has come close to this once since.

This is my game!

This is my type of game that I can enjoy on the NES. Because I like to cheat on it and go to the end, which that makes me feel better. I like Mario's costume as a raccoon, but I didn't know as a kid that raccoons could fly. What a way to lie to a kid! The last level is the best scene to go to, although, it seems hard than I thought. I like Level 7 because of the pipes, although, it gets confusing but it's fun. I had never got passed Level 8 yet. Darn! I wonder who did. This is my game to keep.

The Best of the Mario Series

The game went back to its original format rather than being "Doki Doki Panic" with Mario characters. Not to say I didn't like MB2, but I missed Mario being in a Mario-like world. The game adds so much too. There are different costumes (Hammer Brother, Raccoon, Weird animal thing that turns into a statue, Frog...), which hold different abilities, that you can get. The levels aren't as identical as they were in the original (Giant Land, Desert Land, Pipe Land, etc.). This one also introduces the "world map" into the series. You can also skip some levels. Speaking of that, the warping is much more interesting. The only flaws are that Yoshi was not yet thought of, the Koopaling battles were not very developed at this point, and the battle with Bowser was not as good as the next game, but that's to be expected.

This is my absolute favorite of all the original NES games. And I've played nearly all of them. I'm not sure what my obsession is with Mario, but I've loved him from the start. I always was a sucker for the Italian type. I don't know alot of technical mumbo jumbo about the system itself, but I know my grandmother bought one for my dad when I was about four years old, and once I learned how to play, he never saw it again. I'm a huge Nintendo fan. I only by Nintendo consoles. Call me old fashioned I guess. I only wish that they would come out with this game on Wii. Fat chance, right?

This game is my favorite of all Mario games. I've beaten the game, but haven't actually beaten all levels. These games are like the pac-man, frogger, and other old games. Yes, they're old and out-dated, but every once in a while you think,"I'd like to find those games again."

The best of the NES Mario titles

Simply put, this is the best overall Mario game for the NES. It's perfect for a beginner but also challenging for gamers of all skill levels. It returns to the standard run and jump gameplay after the bizarre Super Mario Bros. 2 and the amazingly fun but impossible to beat original Super Mario Bros. In short, an absolute blast and probably the best overall title for the NES gaming system.

Its a pretty good game.

I like this game a lot but if you played super mario world first you might think other wise about this game. I played mario world then i tried SMB 3 and I got a little annoyed about the saving issue, it takes forever to beat this game with out cheats and there is no saving function. But then again it is a great game with colorful graphics, catchy music, and even more power ups then its Successor.

Before, I gave this game less credit...

I feel that when I wrote that review and gave it only 1 star that my mind was thinking more about games like Specter and Super Mario 2. But this game deserves more credit. For one, you can carry more than one power up but you can only use that power up in your "power up holder" on the level screen. The levels are fun and challenging, but gameplay can get bland, repetetive, and painstakingly long. That is why it needs a save feature. Even if you can beat it in one sitting, you'll feel it tommorrow morning. Probably the best part is two player mode, but I rarely have another player. There isn't much to say. This game is unlike the first two and can be pleasing.

Ranks 3rd in the Mario line but Top Ten for NES

Super Mario Bros. 3 is one of the greatest NES games ever created however, it is third best in the original series. Personally number 2 is my favorite, with 1 close behind (I'll leave it up for debate). 3 returns us to the simpler days of Mario; when Mario would run across the screen and jump on his enemies to defeat them. This game does add a lot of frills and may be more exciting to play than 1 but 1 was the original that set the platform. Super Mario 2 is strange but tons of fun. It's departure from the regular "run across the screen and jump on your enemies" was disappointing to many but I thought the game was brilliant. Returning to #3, 3 was and still is great but the first two are just a little better that's all.
