Hello Gamers, this another Linkshade's Opinion. I review a classic, Super Mario Bros 3, the first Mario game to have a world map. Also the first game with animal based power ups, like the tanooki leaf, which gives him a suit that is based off of a raccoon. So let's break down the game and give it an opinion.
Graphics-8
For a Nintendo entertainment system game, this game has better graphics than regular NES game. The sprite of the original Mario, has less pixels when the Mario in this game is more structured. Even the Levels have better graphics than the original. In the original, most of the game was designed using square blocks like the "?" block while the "?" had curved corners. Even though this game is great in all, every game still has something it can do better, the reason I lowered graphics rating to 8.
Sound-8
Most 8-bit music I heard I noticed something, It hardly has a beat but this game beat his standard of mine. Even though this isn't the futuristic music of MEGA MAN, this music has a beat. Some noises in the music were sort of the equivalent to percussion. I would know, because the MEGA MAN music has a lot of it. The music from the Mega Man games is kind of the reason I force myself to give the sound a rating of 8 more than a perfect 10. Sorry Super Mario Brothers 3.
Addictiveness-10
Unlike most NES games I played, this game is very addictive. Unlike previous Mario games where you have to Complete the game before you can replay a level that is more challenging, you can replay a level anytime. You can also save the game so you may not have start all over again, which makes you a little bored every time you play. I got bored of the original Super Mario Bros after a week. Its because of these features this game is very addictive.
Story-6
There is a story in this game, just not a real good one. I seen far complex stories on other games like Fire Emblem Gaiden. I see a reoccurring theme in every Mario Game, Princess Toadstool/ Peach gets kidnapped by Bowser and Cohorts, Mario must battle his minions through 8 worlds, defeat Bowser, and save her. I think had enough of this story, don't you think? Well, then again, you may have a different opinion when it comes to this stuff.
Depth-7
The depth of this game: not even close to Lost Levels 52 Levels but Super Mario Bros 3 has things The Lost Levels doesn't have. This game is the first Mario game to have toad houses to help the player on the map. It also has hammer bros perusing the map and if you run into one, you have to face it. Not the most exciting thing, but anything to keep you occupied. Even though you have a lot to do in this game, I've seen many games with lots more content (ex. Fire Emblem Gaiden).
Difficulty-6
The difficulty of this game I thought was a good six on my scale. It starts off easy at first but as the game progresses, you find it more difficult to complete each level. Well off course that is the purpose for every video game, it progressively gets harder giving you a real challenge. I feel as though a game that would not be is Mario is Missing, which I've found to be sole reason I do these reviews, to get out my opinion because I have I lot of bad stuff to say about that game. Okay, I am not even going to waste my time in this category, let's just get to the Overall rating.
Overall-7.2
I would give this game an overall rating of 7.2 for good graphics and sound, addictive game play, reoccurring story, good amount of content, and normal difficulty. What's your opinion? Post it in the thread and this concludes another review from Linkshade.
