Its time to review a true classic, super Mario bros 3. Ahh, this game, easily the best Mario game on the NES. Easily one of the best Mario games ever. This game is what got me into the series in the first place, and what a great way to start. This game found a way to use Mario's simple formula and make a game with much more depth than the first two games. The first two games (I mean the first Mario game, and the Japan version of the second) seemed lacking to me, though super Mario bros 3 filled the gap. Not much to say about this game, so on with that review thing.
Graphics: The graphics blew me away. It has some of the best graphics on the NES and is almost up to speed with the GBA. Mario animates very well, although he looks quite a bit different from all of the other marios, past and present. Aside from that, the backgrounds can get a little bland, though the are definitely passable. The map construction look is definitely better than the par for this game, the deserts certainly look like deserts, and this is just me, but I like the sort of glare effect they put in the desert, it made it feel as if the sun was actually beating down on you. The forest lands look kind of whimsical to me, and I really like that. The enemies animate very well and look more polished than their super Mario bros 1+2 counterparts.
Sound: I thoroughly enjoy the sound of this game. It's nice to be able to run up a hill, jump on some goombas, and dodge some koopa shells to music that isn't just the main theme of Mario or the underground theme. Overall, the music sets the theme of the game very well and I think you will enjoy it very much.
Addictiveness: What can I say? You will want to play this game to the very end of it. I certainly did, and have. The game has a way of making you want to go the next level that I really cant describe, play the game, you will see.
Story: here is the unfortunate part to every platforming Mario game. Bowser is at it again, he brought his kids, and you have to MURDER HIM IN COLD BLOOD! Well, not exactly, but it tends to follow that formula. Super Mario bros 3 is no different. It does put a twist on the story, but not much more than that. The formula of course works, but I would have wanted to see something more from such a fantastic game.
Depth: Goombas, koopas, paratroopas, bowser and his kids, that's about it for the fist two Mario games. Super Mario bros 3 added a little more flavor. It added quite a few more enemies that added to each of the worlds. There are of course 8 worlds in this game, for bowser and all of his kids. There is also a new suit, called the toonuki suit, that allows you to fly and attack with your tail. There are also plenty of secret passages that you can find, most of which make use of the toonuki suit.
Difficulty: I really don't see much difficulty in Mario games, and this one is no different. It wont throw any huge challenge your way, although that wont take away from the fun. I think Mario games could really benefit from a difficulty setting.
Overall, I really wish you would play it. This is one of the best Mario games and one of the best NES games, I am sure you will enjoy it.

I do enjoy playing Mario Bros 3. I have it on vizzed and on my NES. It's a good game and I like how it features Mario becoming a squirrel type character which I don't recall being in any other previous Mario game.
