    When People talk Mario, they Mean Mario 3

    Whenever anyone talks about Mario their memory isn't of 1 or 2; its not thinking about 64 or Sunshine; not his parties or his go-karts; not of his amazing (and surprising) athletic prowess and finesse... no, not at all.  These people are thinking about Mario 3.

    Mario 3 is Mario's magnum opus.  It is the cream of the cream.  The game defies any real description as mere mortal words cannot adequately describe the pristine perfect playability that is Super Mario Bros. 3.  While today a game with a cover like this would never sell in the U.S. back in the hey-day of platformers, this was the image that struck glee and happiness into children the world over.

    The game's charm planted the seeds of nostalgia in the minds of all of us making it the most infectious and memorable game ever to be released.

Assuming you give the game a complete ...

       This is the #1 Mario game for the NES! This really helped us get an awesome way to play Super Mario games! This was the first Mario game to have Maps! You got to choose where to go some times.  You also had to do some thing to get some things in the game. Also, this was the first Mario game to have two Mario games in it! You could play “Mario Bros.” to see who would go next if you wanted! There were also 4 new Power ups in the game! 5 if you include the P-wing. You had Frog, Raccoon, Hammer, an...
