If nothing more, it teaches us that when you kidnap mushroom people, Italian people will kill your kids. (Sorry Bowser).
·The costumes were such a great feature.
·A game you will still be able to come back to after World War III.
·Graphics were a huge improvement over the original.
Bad Idea:
·"The Wizard" movie... 'nuff said.
Overall:
One of the best, most classic, overall greatest game ever created. That's an under exaggeration.
------------------------------------------------
Super Mario Bros. 3 was released on February 12, 1990 for the NES. It is the first appearance of Bowser’s kids and as far as I remember, the only appearance. The story goes along the lines of saving seven kingdoms from Bowser’s kids by killing them and taking back the magic wands they control. Then, the ever classic, save the Princess from Bowser. Don’t worry; she’s only in one castle this time.
Most of the game plays like Super Mario Bros. yet they added so much more. Such as costumes: Kuribo’s Shoe, Raccoon Mario, Tanooki Mario, Hammer Bro Mario, Frog Mario… the list goes on. Each of these have a special ability that will help you save the princess and take those pesky magic wands back.
Another part of Mario we get to see is the mature Mario with his gambling addiction. Toad will get you to gamble by playing card games, memory games and such to receive a special item. It’s cool because you can hold these items in your inventory box and before you start a level, you can enable your “Starman” and run 30 seconds through the level not taking damage. Which, 30-seconds in these levels are basically the full level on the first world.
One of the all time best things about this Super Mario game is the flute. Everyone knows about the flutes. They can teleport you to the end of the game in a matter of seconds. Not only is the flute a cool secret to this game, the flute has an awesome little ditty.
Even though this is the only game I can recall that features the Koopa Kids, I wish they’d make a 3D Mario on the Gamecube or Revolution that would feature you having to fight them all again. They are some of the best Nintendo bosses ever.
Besides Donkey Kong…. who is an ape.
