This Super Mario Bros. 3 walkthrough will guide you through this 8-bit classic juggernaut, which was released in 1990 on the NES in North America, and would improve upon the Mario formula ten-fold from previous titles.
Super Mario Bros. 3 is larger, more complex, more challenging and more diverse than Super Mario Bros. 1 and Super Mario Bros. 2, and is one of the best-selling games of all time.
The easiest way to play the game in this modern age is to download it on the Wii Virtual Console for 500 Wii Points ($5). Though the game is also available in updated form on the Game Boy Advance as “Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3” and is available with updated graphics on the Super Nintendo as part of “Super Mario All-Stars”.
