My RetroReview: Super Mario Bros 3. (スーパーマリオブラザーズ3) (NES).
This old treasure has been under my radar at least 20 years now and I finally bought the original NES version of the game and played it through.
One of the classic video game experiences that started it all, the original Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) kicked off some iconic games.
For me: Simon's Quest, Golgo 13, Mega Man 2, Final Fantasy, Nobunaga's Ambition, Zelda, Super Mario, and Metroid.
Zelda, Faxanadu, Castlevania 1, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, Gradius, Blaster Master, Commando(I was so mad when I finally made it past level 99 and it reset to level 1 instead of having an ending wtf!) Contra,Metroid, Pro Wrestling and Tag Team Wrestling tied for me both were lots of fun. Those are just some of my favorite games off the top of my head.
NES games were all I got for birthdays Christmas etc once I got the NES for early Christmas/Birthday present 1986 or was it 85 man I’m getting old . Me and my brother begged our dad for months when we heard it was coming out to get it for us and to give it to us early. 199$ was a lot back then. I didn’t know it then but we got one of the very first consoles in the entire country because we lived in Los Angeles and we got it at release. This was before they locked up games but after the NES came out they started locking them up a few months later.
If all the world is a stage, then Mario is adept at playing all the roles – something Miyamoto was very keen to tell us.
3 had a good balance of difficulty before crybabies stepped in and cried about the difficulty of SMW, which is why the game was made easier before release. Would also explain why most other games have been easier except for special worlds etc.. or ones you unlock after you beat the main game.
Isn't the reason we got a Doki Doki Panic sprite swap because Lost Levels was originally deemed too difficult?
Princess Peach. Beloved royalty of the Mushroom Kingdom, and the constant damsel in distress that sets the tone for most Super Mario games. However, there is a darkness in this one, and she is not all smiles, pink hearts, and expensive parasols. No, no. She is not quite what she seems.
