Everyone love Mario I member playing this as a kids I still pay from time to time it a really as some game finding hidden pas sway and hidden item some new spot I still finding that I didn't know about I think this game is a 10 out of 10 I do tell everyone to play even my friends and small family member still play it and they cannot get enough of it... the story line is good but you think that the princess would learn not to get caught loll... but if she didn't it wouldn't be a fun game because we know her lover Mario would get her back at the end... with the help of his friend and some items... what is your favorite item... mine is the P wing that make you fly o ute the whole level sometime it a good thing to have some time it not so be care full using item I really don't like that star it has a time limit on it my five is the teddy bear item that one when you turn to stone that one is awesome and cute.. Yes I have a sine's still it work great  that game is not that hard to start out with but it get harder along the way
I think that why this game was so much fun trying to see if you can get as far as you can with only 5 live if you don't get the 1 ups through out the game... but don't you hate when you lose you got to start all the board over again but when you finally get pass that hard board you do a little happy dance and run and tell everyone in your house you beat the board and they look at you funny. I member who me and my 7 brother and 2 sister would fight over playing it because it was that good to play... but I think it time that Mario got updated to PlayStation's and xboxs and other game conceal... i know there some for N64... them are good game but dose not compeate agianst the classics games. For them player who havent play start playing it fun and make time go by faster when there nothing to do. you can aslo do the battle with a family member or freinds and make some fun out of it . so what you waiting for start playing. have you wonder when you pick the lock box in the mushroom house what are in them all but you can only pick one well hit f2 before picking and when you pick one and dont like it hit f4 a little cheat but it works...

sammy125 : This I consider a 'review' in the loosest sense of the word, and lots of run on sentances, as well as missing comas and periods. This might have just been better to post in the video game thread rather than as a review. 

Very nice review, a liturgist in the making, ah the classic Mario 3 for the NES such an amazing game I like it alot better than its predecessor Mario 2 the secret flute in this game is legendary, and such an iconic secret, it brings back so many great movies of The Wizard, such a cult classic, ''CALIFORNIA!'' That will never get old in my book, and the power glove! No one can beat the power glove! Well enough of that. Anyways the story is great classic Mario at its best truly never gets old no matter how many times the scenario is repeated. The music is considered a cult favorite, the music in this game will never get annoying. The graphics were great given its time period. The character developement was pretty good given its time period as well. The controls were subtle, simplistic, and easy to understand, which is what made the game so great. The replayability was also another gem always trying to beat your time, and score, you could easily waste hours playing this game. And the sun was the most awesome yet most annoying level I ever played against. A
