sometimes on their own, so that Mario must be quick to keep up. The levels themselves are masterpieces of design, both complex and accesible. It was the first such game to use a map screen - and its used it better than nearly any platform game since, with power-ups that affect the map and levels that actually move from location to location. SMB3 might have 8-bit graphics, but its gameplay and design defined platforming conventions for the entire next generation of consoles. The defining platform game of the 16-bit generation. For me and for a lot of people, SMB3 for Wii vc will be an absolute must-buy, one of the 5 best games of all time. Now, I own the original for the Nes and it works fine, I've played the version of Mario all-star and the one of gba Mario advance 4, but you won't feel as nostalgia with one of these two versions as you will with the original version. Now, with the Wii, it's pretty sure that when you will quit the game, you will return at the last place you were when you'll come back, with the auto-save fonction that's for every Wii vc game except for the N64's ones. As long as I remember, you lost your power-ups when you are game-over. When you complete a castle, you will destroy a gate that opens you a way to pass over a couple of stages before the castle when you are game over. No the original SMB3 did'nt have this feature, but if you are game over, you don't restart at the very beginning of the game, you will just come back at the start of the current world. 3 truly deserves its status as one of the greatest games ever made. With eight huge worlds to navigate, countless secrets to discover and even a cooperative or competitive two-player mode, Super Mario Bros. 3 features more Mario action than ever before: fly as Racoon Mario, swim as Frog Mario, throw fireballs as Fire Mario, and turn into an invincible statue as Tanooki Mario! And you'll need all the powers you can muster, to beat Bowser's offspring lurking in their heavily-armed airships. Mario and Luigi are called back into action when Bowser and his kids turn the kings of the Mushroom World into animals and steal their royal magic wands.

Updated December 4th, 2020 by Tanner Kinney: The Switch is currently several years into its lifespan, and unsurprisingly more Mario games have released on the platform. The Nintendo Switch managed to erase the failure of the Wii U almost overnight and is home to tons of great games with some of them featuring the iconic Mushroom Kingdom plumber.
