Some of you may or may not know, but today marks the 20th anniversary for Super Mario Bros. 3. NintendoLife has a great article about the event with the hype train starting with The Wizard. I can't believe it's been 20 years since this game has came out here in the US. Let's all say happy anniversary to one of the best games of all time. I guess it's time to bust out that NES of mine.

Super Mario Bros. 3 sends Mario on a whole new adventure across diverse worlds and sporting strange new suits and abilities.
Super Mario Bros. 3 Turns 20
I prefer Super Mario World but I still loved this game. But here's 20 years to one of the best games on the NES!
Happy 20th SMB3!
I've still got my 20 year old mint copy. I stood outside a Dixons store in West London at 6.30am in the morning, in the rain, for this very copy. The store opened at 9.00am, lol
Remember playing this one at my cousin's house probably more than 14 or 15 years ago. Even in their library of NES games that included Punchout, Duckhunt (on the Duckhunt/Super Mario Bros. combo cart), Contra, and Link's Adventure, I remember SMBs 3 being my favorite for its accessibility, its variety, and its just overall emission of awesome-ness.
Happy Birthday, Super Mario Bros 3. May your legend live forever.

Its crazy to think that since I wasent born for another 3 days. In fact as someone who is a fan of retro games most of my favourites are older than I am like the original Golden Axe (Arcade and Mega Drive though neither is my absolute favourite) and one of my favourite consoles of all time, and the one I had as a kid, came out in Japan and the US before I was born (although 6 months after I was born). But mostly its crazy to think you own a mint copy of a game, first hand, that was released before I was born lol
