Description

Bowser is back, and along with the Bowser kids, he's out to spoil Mario's day once again.

This time, along with nabbing the Princess, the Bowser crew have also taken the magic wands from the Kings of each land and turned them into creatures. It's up to Mario and Luigi to get back the magic wands, defeat Bowser, and save the Princess all before the day is done.

Old and new power-ups abound in each level for the Mario Brothers, including the return of the Super Mushroom and Fire Flower, plus the new power-ups including the frog suit, the warp flute, and the most important of all, the leaf, which allows you to fly and attack enemies with your tail.

Trivia

The trivia mentioned about the world record time for SMB 3 being 11 minutes is not quite true. The video in question is actually a composite of frame-by-frame game states and later assembled in a video editor to make a "perfect" run. According to the creator, it took nearly two years to make. The actual confirmed record is a little over 13 minutes.
