At least the graphics (their style and execution) of the late 20th Century Super Mario 2D games (all versions, NES to the least extent only because, well, they were less powerful consoles depending on their times, but still, Mario 3 for the NES does NOT look far behind from its other versions) like the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance tetralogies knew how to make even that moment look appealing (depending on the person)!
*UPDATE:* Yes, I know that Nintendo released SMA4 on the Wii U Virtual Console on January 22nd, 2016. I also know that this port of the game includes the e-reader levels. Doing this just now prevented a massive amount of comment spam.
+ExoParadigmGamer Yeah, you should do a followup thing to review the E-Reader levels. But so far... I've been enjoying them. It's kind of a nice feeling to play these things finally. Since I had a few of these levels when I was a teen.... But yeah, I wasn't able to track many down. I think I got like one pack or something. Not to mention the MASSIVE amount of Japan only levels.
Aside from a lack of save feature, my biggest gripe with the NES version of "Super Mario Bros. 3" is the fact that Luigi ends up becoming a palette-swap version of Mario, considering the fact that this game did come out after "Super Mario Bros. 2", in which he was given his taller and thinner appearance we all know and love.
@@FullArcher05 That may be true, but I didn't even know that "Super Mario Bros. 3" was actually released in Japan at around the same time that "Super Mario Bros. 2" was released in the US, the latter of which eventually was released in Japan as "Super Mario USA".
I'm honestly surprised that Exo didn't mention the VOICE ACTING in Super Mario Advanced 4! Although, there was barely any, it was pretty cool to hear Mario say, "Hee hee, I got it!" or "Just what I needed!" whenever he got a power-up. It was my favorite part about the game (I grew up with Advanced 4) and I think Advanced 4 is the better game.
I also liked how talkative Mario was in the Super Mario Advance games, especially since it totally made up for Mario's lack of dialogue in the cutscenes from "Super Mario Sunshine" (considering the fact it was one of the worst games in the series, anyway).
Thank you finaly someone who agrees that Super Mario Advance 4 is the best way to play SMB3 but yah i will say that this remake "Not port" has 3 major problems 1 Coin collectibles is eyebrow rising 2 the E reader is a peace of Shit 3 Luigi is kinda Disappointing not the worst part but still Well other then that i really don't see what people have agiants this remake.
Fun fact: In the GBA remake, there is an Easter Egg of sorts in which you can access hidden dialogue from one of the kings. If you beat one of the airship levels with the Frog Suit- which is nearly impossible since that item is utterly useless on land- you will float down to the king, who will not give you the usual dialogue, but will instead say [paraphrased]: "Thank you, Mario. But you look different. Shall I change you with this wand?" It was humorous. But you need complete mastery of the airship levels in order to access this.
Red Who Who wouldn't try an airship level with the frog suit? I was eight and I decided to mix it up for once. :D And I received the fruits for my efforts.
So it gose Super mario Advance Super mario bros 2 Super mario Advance 2 Super Mario world Super Mario Advance 3 Yoshis Island Super Mario Advance 4 Super Mario Bros 3 Uh oh we fucked up AVGN line
I really liked Super Mario World, beaten it at least 20 times, but Super Mario Bros 3 is amazing. I love that every world has a completely different design to their levels. Even world 5, Sky Land, has 2 different themes! It's amazing for an NES game. I got it when I was 5. It'll always hold a special place in my heart.
tbh it's my favorite mario game over mario world because it came out 6 days before the japanese release of one of my favorite video game consoles. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis Also it's generally harder and if i had to decide, i perfer hard levels over exploration. that doesn't mean that i hate exploration, (I LOVE BoTW) but if i had to pick between a sequenced point a to point b mario game over a sandbox mario, i'd pick the point a to point b. :/
Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World are my top 2 favorite Mario games of all time. While some may argue that Super Mario Bros. 3 is overrated (along with Super Mario World) I think it really does deserve the praise that it gets. It expanded so much upon the Mario universe and added so many things that would soon become a staple to the series. Overall, it's a huge improvement over Super Mario Bros. 1 and Lost Levels and will, in my opinion, go down as one of the best games of all time next to Super Mario World.
Mario The Red Wildfire & Luigi the Green Thunder (Super Mario & Luigi) I completely agree with you. I know that Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3 deserve the praise because, they were addictive games and I would spend hours playing these games.
Super Mario Advance 4 is the game that introduced me to the Mario Franchise. It really changed the way I thought of video games and shaped who I am today.
You may not have been aware of this, but I will inform you anyhow. There are powerups added with the e-reader. The cape feather was a card you can get in the USA... But... In Japan, there was a Boomerang 'Powerup' card. Why did I put that in quotations? Because it's not an item lost from damage, you actually can throw a blue boomerang ( Super Mario 3[D]) And these power ups can be accessed through the action replay.
I remember when I was five years old, and my dad and I would leave the old NES system on to make sure our progress would still stand. We still played the game to oblivion, but completing it was a chore. It was why Kirby's Adventure was my favorite game on the system. It was also why I loved the save feature on All-Stars and the GBA port.
There is something about the look of the original Mario Bros 3 that I don't think any of its remakes captured IDK what it is. Perhaps just the black overalls for all I know
For me, an important part of the SMB3 experience is the graphical glitching in the first and last columns as you scroll some areas. Sometimes you got tile combinations that are funny. I wish they had an option to retain this glitchy scrolling mechanic in the new releases. IMO, the perfect SMB3 would be to simply add battery save and previous world selection to the NES cart... and maybe one more location to find the hammer suit.
My only problem with Mario 3's controls, is Mario's acceleration and top speed were a bit too fast, causing me to overshoot jumps over pits, as mentioned in Johnny's review. Though I do agree the floaty jump is really nice in Mario 3, the acceleration is just too fast, and I know I can just let go of B, but then Mario's too slow for me. Its just nitpicking at this point, but I feel Mario World had a better balance. Also you can slow Mario's descent in World by holding the jump button longer, kinda like a more subtle Cap Feather.
I agree with you that Advance 4 looks better than both Advance 2 and even the original 1991 Super Mario World, but there's no way the original 1990 Super Mario Bros. 3 looks better than the original 1991 Super Mario World.
Seriously he's just being completely Bias the shading on the sprites is completely better in super Mario world and the colorful world is beautiful and has held the test of time.
***** Actually I can see where you're getting at. After looking at both for a while, the SMB3 sprites do look better. And as you said, SMW has superior colors.
Yes, SMB3 is late in the NES lifecycle. But SMW is early in the SNES cycle. SMB3 is a great technical achievement, while SMW is not. I don't see what that has to do with which looks better, though. SMW looks better, even if I think the gameplay isn't as much fun. Sure, SMB3 has some sprites that look as good as anything in SMW. But it also has some ugly sprites (Goombas, Koopa Troopa heads). And it just always had this dirtier look to it, while SMW is shined up. Now the SNES version shines up everything so well that I can argue that the art is better. And I do think that SMW could have looked better than it did. And there are some NES games (Kirby, Jackie Chan, Batman 2) whose graphics rival SNES games. But I still say SMW looks better than SMB3 NES. Now, if you said Super Mario Land 2, then I could see the comparison. That game looks really good.
I think the sprites and graphics in SMB3 look better. While the graphics in SMW are definitely very colourful, they have this weird blurry thing going on with them. It looks like someone has smeared Vaseline on the camera, and it has bothered me to this day. The sprites for the enemies in SMW look way too friendly and awkward for my liking. Bowser looks so strange, and the fact that they never used the same sprite for SMM2, proves that Nintendo thought the same. The sprites for the enemies in SMB3 look more menacing, which is why there is no contest for me when it comes to what game looks the best.
As a longtime of both 3 and World, I find myself actually preferring the snappier movement of World's controls. With 3, Mario's got so much momentum that I feel like I'm constantly fighting to get him up to speed or keep him from going off a cliff. Not that I necessarily think the game would be better with World's controls inserted; clearly 3 was designed around a Mario with floaty jumps and the momentum of a semi, so ultimately it works.
If you want to finish Bowser of I recommend you use the fire flower or the hammer suit to kill Bowser. Trust me I tried it and it worked. But it won't kill the Koopalings but the fire flower will!
In my opinion they are tied, I love both of them so much that I would never pick one over the other. I have all versions of both because they are just such excellent games!
There's actually 2 patches. One for the 3x normal levels, and other for 5 special Star levels. A very stupid move, the E-Reader was. But not the only one. The game only could store so many levels and it seems that you couldn't erase the ones you already had to put new levels, so you had to choose what levels "you wouldn't want in your game" or just buy a second game. It was truly stupid, and sad. But thanks to the hacking comunity we can play those levels, and are pretty fun! There was even a Cape Feather Power up from Mario World!
Another thing that I've just noticed is that in the E-Reader levels you can play as Luigi, and he for some reason has the floaty jump and the low traction that he has in Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World. But in the main game he is pretty different. This is really weird.
A great review! But you failed to mention the warp pipes when you ranted about the lack of a save/password feature in the NES version. Warping to different worlds is a fair enough system that allows the player to skip parts they already played in a previous run. Someone must've said this already, but I couldn't see any comments about this.
Preston Stroud let me explain why More powers I enjoy the airships and tanks and boat a lot I think the worlds are a bit more varied. Plot is a bit more interesting Inventory system Interactive over world with the special items to skip random encounters, skip levels, and more. However, I also prefer world for reasons Alternate exits Secrets to find Yoshi Star world is an awesome secret What are your reasons?
a bunch of people like it better than world or vice versa. apparently a lot of people like Galaxy of all games better than all of them. I don't think Galaxy holds a candle to Mario 64 or even Sunshine.
+Caleb Jaaniste It annoys me when people expect me to reply to their comments, but their comment for some reason doesn't have a reply option underneath it. From what I understand, you have to deliberately set your account to not let people reply. But that's enough about that. The Boost Formula Sonic games have perfectly functional and well rounded controls. In fact, they give Sonic his most detailed and versatile moveset yet, which allows for some intricate level design and makes speed running an absolute thrill. The only game that comes close to losing that functionality is Unleashed, seeing as the camera always seems a little too close up and some of the later levels experience some slowdown. For Colors and Generations, they toned down the speed just a little, pulled the camera back, added more platforming, and ultimately achieved the best balance of speed and platforming of any Sonic games yet released, Classic and Dreamcast era titles included. And that's on top of the better storytelling, the gorgeous visuals, the genre varied soundtracks, the excellent boss fights, and all the other small great touches that Sonic Team put into those titles. That doesn't make the other games bad in the slightest, it just means I consider a particular gameplay style more fun to play than other perfectly playable and fun gameplay styles. I actually like Sonic Adventure 2 quite a bit, myself, and I also used to be a pretty biased Dreamcastian. But eventually I realized the many flaws of Adventure, Adventure 2, and Heroes, gained a deeper appreciation for the Classics, and embraced Colors and Generations as taking the best elements of the Classics and Dreamcast titles while being its own unique thing. That is why they are my favorite Sonic games.
There was an NES at my game store (idk why) I got it an loaded up Super Mario Bros 3. And holy crap it felt soooo goood. Your so right, controlling is perfect. I made it to the first airship and got a crap ton of lives from bouncing off bullets and balls.
What's even better now is if you have either the Wii U or the Switch Versions, you get access to every single e-Reader level released or otherwise. A definite must for Mario enthusiasts!
I remember playing Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 and having a lot of fun with the game. I had a few of the e-Cards and an e-Reader, so I was able to play some of those levels and use the Cape Feather, at least. If you use certain emulators, then it's possible to be able to play all of those levels and use those power-ups and switches whenever you want.
Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3 both handle picking up Koopa Shells very differently. SMB3 forces you to walk up to a shell and then hold the run button to pick it up, while in SMW it's possible to just hold the run button and then jump on the shell to pick it up. This is later used in the more recent games that I've become so accustomed to this playstyle and find SMB3 and the older games clunky to control making me prefer SMW over SMB3.
Fantastic review. I've got Super Mario World as a better drunk party game due to how crazy easy it is, but otherwise, I gladly admit that Mario 3 is the better game, despite the many times I've revisited World and the nostalgia factor. I can think of more than a few stages in World where that little bit of jump hang would've been fantastic. Going to try out those bonus levels and maybe even replay the main game (for all the places I skipped via warp whistle) on emulator at some point now.
I have to absolutely AGREE... the way Mario controls on SMB3 IS the reason if not one of the main reasons the game is so awesome. ONLY few understand this and IF probably many do then that's why they know it's awesome. Fighting bosses or flying or hanging and bouncing on an enemy then when air borne guiding Mario to land some place was such an awesome feeling that allowed me to enjoy interacting with the areas even more. I remember when floating down I wanted to fall faster and I stopped my tail more and was able to speed up a freefall then slow down and land as I wanted to. THAT WAS AWESOME! Agreed!
I recently played through Mario World and now I'm playing SMB3. I tried Mario games several time in the past, but I hated them because of the floaty and gliding controls. Once you finally master them it starts to be fun however, and because I played SMW first, the control of SMB3 feels awkward since it's just bit different, not much, but enough to throw off some of jumps.
10:48 Maybe the Koopalings are considered the children of Bowser's Brother nowadays? If you don't know who that is, he's the Blue Bowser that appears in the NES version of The Lost Levels in 8-4. (though he was eventually retconned into being a particularly-convincing Fake Bowser, which was then retconned into being a mysterious individual, so... maybe not.)
The Game Boy Advance version of Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first version that I ever owned and played. As the years went by, I also had the opportunity to play the original NES version and the SNES "All-Stars" version.
Nice vids, man. I had the same feelings play SMB3 and SMW. Note though that the Warp Whistle from SMB3 NES was intended to facilitate save or password features, much like the Warp Zones from the original SMB. With them whistle you can warp back to whatever level you left off on. You do still lose your power ups and stuff so that is a bummer.
Fun fact: *PART OF IT IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO THINK SUPER MARIO 3 IS FAR BETTER THAN SUPER MARIO WORLD, EVEN THOSE WHO THINK BOTH ARE GREAT GAMES (myself included, but then again, because Super Mario World is a phenomenal launch title for the Super Nintendo, I can’t really say it’s much less greater than Mario 3).*
Or Mother Therese vs. Dwayne Johnson, we know these are the best real-life people in the world, but it’s hard to pick who could possibly be the only best of the best.
People note the number of levels in SMB3, but they ignore that they are generally shorter than SMW or even SMB1's levels. That's why they don't give them save points in the middle. As for moving between levels--that's why they made the Warp Whistles so easy to find. Just play the first 3 or 4 levels and warp back to the World you were on, just like you'd used a continue. And it's why the equivalent in SMW doesn't actually help you get to any other level but Bowser's Castle.
Bowser can be beaten more directly in SMB3, BUT you need either a Fire Flower or Hammer Suit, otherwise, forget about it. You gotta beat him the other way.
Super Mario Advance 4 was the game I got with my GBA (that just so happened to have a packed in e-reader). Mario 3 was my favourite NES game as a kid but by the time the GBA came out I’d lost my NES. Having a portable version of my favourite game was a godsend.
*YOU SAVED ME!!!* Oh, Philips CD-I, how I love you for the numerous amounts of YTPs spawned back in 2008, though at the same time, I hated you so fucking much!
Heads up to anyone who owns a Wii U, the virtual console version of Super Mario Advance 4 has some of the ecard reader levels unlocked, so that would be an interesting buy (or just an interesting download haha) so I would recommend buy it or getting it before the Wii U eshop officially closes down in who knows how long.
For someone who played Super Mario World (which was my first ever Video Game I played), I prefer SMB3 over SMW. And hell, I did a series of four frog suit only run Live Streams on Facebook which was successful (even though the third Livestream went down the gutter).
Oh god the e-reader what was Nintendo thinking with device?? I like the concept of being able to play games from cards you could collect. Still as you pointed out the downside came to extra levels, power-ups etc for a the few games that supported the device. Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire was another one of these games where you could fight extra trainers, get evolution stones etc, but you needed to have the same damn set up. Well I enjoyed this review, and you eared a new subscriber.
***** Nintendo always tries very hard to add gimicks to their systems. When done right they sell like hot pancakes, like the Wii, it literally printed money. Then you have things like the weird virtual boy and the now new Wii U which flat out made them lost a lot of revenue. In spite of their failures I applaud them for trying to be creative, specially when they nail it.
@Kagereneko Super mario world has the better world by far. I don't even know how people think 3's is better. Branching paths, star world, Hidden switches, secret exits leading to another secret part of a world, like lmfao. SMB3 has the enemy encounters, but besides that, umm, hammer-required secrets? Very shitty arguments tbh. Plus being able to play mario bros is more of a cool throwback, and not much else. I've played all Mario world and mario 3 versions except the all stars versions of both.
8:33 Thank you. Thank you. I felt that I was the only one that hated SMW's broken jumping + air physics, nearly ruined the entire game for me back in the day. Edit: Also holy balls I forgot how much I hated World 3 in SMB3
There is a way to play as Luigi for the whole game. You have to start a Mario & Luigi game, transfer all but 1 of Mario's lives to Luigi and walk into a Goomba or whatever as Mario.
Ace coins were added in the eReader stages, just not the main ones. You really don't need to replay the main stages, unlike in SMB2 and SMW, to get the special coins.
Nintendo missed an epic opportunity with the dsi shop and a rerelease of super mario advance 4 as dsi shop title, downloadable content, powerups... seriously nintendo do you really not like making money?
They have become a little smarter about listening to the fans by those detailed surveys they give for club Nintendo. I wish they would remake these older games for the 3ds
Fun little tid bit about e-reader cards. Since I didn't know what an e-Reader was when I was younger and just had some of the cards, I just thought that if you swiped them into your gba slot with your game in it(assuming it would fit, most times it would), the card would system would actually respond with the card.
I agree with you 100% that 3 is way better then world. I was addicted to 3 when it came out. Especially the advance remake. World I don't know why I bought it. World is cool just doesn't bring much more to the table then a commitment from Nintendo to use there flagship star on all there platforms. :P
I loved Super Mario World as a kid (and still do) and didn't very like SMB3 (and actually still don't). My biggest complainment was always that SMB3 is plain ugly in my eyes. SMW looks beautiful and the music is incredible. When playing SMW I felt like I'm in the world, when I played SMB3 I just felt like playing a video game. Very well made video. I totally accept your opinion, it's super interesting how different tastes are.
Thank you for shouting out to Johnny. I agree with you about the game, my 2 favorite Mario games are 3 and World. Funny thing is I've still not beaten the final 2 levels of World 7
Played the GBA version as a kid. Later picked up the NES version on Wii Virtual Console. Both are amazing... can't really pick one over the other - remakes in general don't usually add or subtract too much IMO unless its a full overhaul (Pokemon remakes, etc). The gameplay and controls are superb, and the level design... that's what really sets this game apart. I'm not sure whether Mario World or Mario 3 has the edge here... they both have some of the best level types ever (Ghost Houses, Airships)... but I do suppose Mario 3 gets an edge from controls. Also, you forgot to mention that you can beat Bowser w/ the Hammer Suit. Best Powerup EVAR.
I don't feel that a lack of a save feature really subtracts from the NES version at all. Pretty much everyone knows about the warp whistles. Not to mention, 95% of the games back then didn't have one either. The game warrants and rewards frequent play, with all the secrets. I know these days people need auto-saves and all that stuff, but there is a reason for the term "NES hard". Fantastic video.
This is pretty much my favourite classic mario game as well. SMW is REALLY good, but SMB 3 is unmatched in it's total and consistent awesomeness as a game. So yes, I totally agree with your review of this game!
+Adolphus Cox Nothing, I mean NOTHING beats Super Mario Bros. 3, it is in my book one of if not the GREATEST game of all time. A complete masterpiece from start to finish. All Stars may have given it a graphic upgrade and save feature, but 1989/1990's SMB. 3 is timeless. It is hands down the BEST Mario game ever made. Nintendo and Miyamoto will never and since then has never duplicated such perfection. Mario 3 just perfects EVERYTHING about Mario and all platformers in general. Spot on control, superb level design, inegenutive and creative presentation, flawless hit detection, innovative weapons, tons and TONS of hidden easter eggs and secrets, a stellar and terrific difficulty level where every stage offers a fantastic paced challenge. And quirky characters and text. SEGA twice got close to this with Sonic CD and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and tried as HARD as they could with Sonic Adventure 2. SEGA learned from Nintendo how to make excellent platformers. Nobody not even Sony with their overblown LBP will ever reach that level of effort. The Advance remake gave the classic some nifty extras in addition to introducing millenials to the masterpiece that ended the 80s.
Tornado1994 I don’t get why the game would get more praise than some modern Mario games besides the whole originality complaint (which I think is overdone; why do people care so much about originality these days?).
***** do u think they would ever remake Mario bros 3 or Mario world for the 3ds with updated 3d graphics or would it be a waste of time and money since remakes already exist?
***** It still uses the graphics and music from the SMAS version with some additional content and features though, making it technically a remake of a remake.
Dude! I freaking love this series I'm a new sub, man I love this, I'm 15 Mexican American I have the super mario bros the 1 in yoshi and this one. My dad loves Mario he showed me these games and we love it. Seeing some one making this type of videos is a boss your the man. I think you deserve more subs can you please upload the extra levels I never knew until today. Your commentaries are funny and great since you cyz in random moments. I've seen almost all of the mario series I need to see the deluxe. I'm planning to get all of the Marios game for my gameboy, I have 3 gameboys and one gameboy color. Keep up the good work. I hope you see this comment man. I know going for all of these classic mario games will be hard and I want get snes and the mario games for that system also do you play ps3? Or your have a different system I have a wii new super mario game I love it.
YoshiVonGold twat Exactly. I put a comment on this video a long time ago on the same subject but it got deleted. It's fine if you like Mario 3 more than Mario world, but you don't need to rub it in with lacklustre reasons. Most of the comparing is between Mario world and Mario 3, not between Mario Bros 3 and super Mario advance 4.
Even considering that I consider Mario 3 better, I agree with you not looking as good as World. I also think the boss fights, despite having very similar Koopaling boss fights each time, the boss fights in Mario 3 are more challenging and fun than the Koopaling fights in World.
What's interesting is, you probably could do the e-reader nowadays. I mean the 3DS allows scanning those weird square thingies, I could have easily seen collectable cards work with that, I mean there's amiibos, why not mii-cards or whatever? Though I would LOVE to see a compilation of all the Super Mario Advance remakes on one cartridge, with the e-cards already unlocked. Woulda made a heck of a better 25th anniversary than the lazy all stars port to the wii! Ah well.
you need a switch powerup to revert luigi to his world physics in the main game, he behaves the same in the e-levels as he did in super mario advance 2
I always figured the Famicom/NES release schedule was tiered two years apart because that's about the gap between USA & Japan system launch. Gaming magazines mentioned Japanese titles taking extra time to get an American cartridge release, but region locks & being a kid meant you just had to wait.
"even the backgrounds have more color and detail." *Footage shows a background of white and almost unnoticeable light blue stripes.
T Johnson Ikr haha
T Johnson i always saw it as a light blue background with white stripes
at least it tried
At least the graphics (their style and execution) of the late 20th Century Super Mario 2D games (all versions, NES to the least extent only because, well, they were less powerful consoles depending on their times, but still, Mario 3 for the NES does NOT look far behind from its other versions) like the Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance tetralogies knew how to make even that moment look appealing (depending on the person)!
It is colour not color.
*UPDATE:* Yes, I know that Nintendo released SMA4 on the Wii U Virtual Console on January 22nd, 2016. I also know that this port of the game includes the e-reader levels. Doing this just now prevented a massive amount of comment spam.
+ExoParadigmGamer Do you think it's worth making a follow-up video on or is it not?
Maybe a short one.
+ExoParadigmGamer you probably should, if only they could have patched in the switch functions somehow... still this is more then I could have hoped.
+ExoParadigmGamer Yeah, you should do a followup thing to review the E-Reader levels. But so far... I've been enjoying them. It's kind of a nice feeling to play these things finally. Since I had a few of these levels when I was a teen.... But yeah, I wasn't able to track many down. I think I got like one pack or something. Not to mention the MASSIVE amount of Japan only levels.
_Data_Drain_ I admit back in college I actually went back and bought sma4 a second time because the exclusive airship revenge.
Aside from a lack of save feature, my biggest gripe with the NES version of "Super Mario Bros. 3" is the fact that Luigi ends up becoming a palette-swap version of Mario, considering the fact that this game did come out after "Super Mario Bros. 2", in which he was given his taller and thinner appearance we all know and love.
To be fair, SMB2 was a reskin of Doki Doki Panic made after SMB3.
@@FullArcher05 That may be true, but I didn't even know that "Super Mario Bros. 3" was actually released in Japan at around the same time that "Super Mario Bros. 2" was released in the US, the latter of which eventually was released in Japan as "Super Mario USA".
I'm honestly surprised that Exo didn't mention the VOICE ACTING in Super Mario Advanced 4! Although, there was barely any, it was pretty cool to hear Mario say, "Hee hee, I got it!" or "Just what I needed!" whenever he got a power-up. It was my favorite part about the game (I grew up with Advanced 4) and I think Advanced 4 is the better game.
+CaveFlag0 You weren't around when SMB 3. came out. I still consider it better than SMA 4.
+Tornado1994 well people have opinions.
The phrase Mario said when he died in the game made me laugh as a kid.
I also liked how talkative Mario was in the Super Mario Advance games, especially since it totally made up for Mario's lack of dialogue in the cutscenes from "Super Mario Sunshine" (considering the fact it was one of the worst games in the series, anyway).
Thank you finaly someone who agrees that Super Mario Advance 4 is the best way to play SMB3 but yah i will say that this remake "Not port" has 3 major problems
1 Coin collectibles is eyebrow rising
2 the E reader is a peace of Shit
3 Luigi is kinda Disappointing not the worst part but still
Well other then that i really don't see what people have agiants this remake.
Fun fact: In the GBA remake, there is an Easter Egg of sorts in which you can access hidden dialogue from one of the kings.
If you beat one of the airship levels with the Frog Suit- which is nearly impossible since that item is utterly useless on land- you will float down to the king, who will not give you the usual dialogue, but will instead say [paraphrased]:
"Thank you, Mario. But you look different. Shall I change you with this wand?"
It was humorous. But you need complete mastery of the airship levels in order to access this.
+RyanX1231 I've done this back in the day, and you are absolutely right :P Thanks for reminding me, hehe
Who in their right mind would try an airship level with the frog suit?
Red Who Who wouldn't try an airship level with the frog suit? I was eight and I decided to mix it up for once. :D And I received the fruits for my efforts.
I admit out of curiosity I did it a few times, but even if by the grace of God I passed a level, I was playing the NES version
+RyanX1231 I think that's also in the original, and it happens in a few other world too
Isn't weird how SMB3 is advanced 4 but Yoshi island is advanced 3 ?
they fucked up the time line
Yes. It's weird they went on to the game that's not an actual Mario game before SMB3.
Super weird
I hope to God that nobody gives a shit about a Mario timeline.
So it gose
Super mario Advance Super mario bros 2
Super mario Advance 2 Super Mario world
Super Mario Advance 3 Yoshis Island
Super Mario Advance 4 Super Mario Bros 3
Uh oh we fucked up

I really liked Super Mario World, beaten it at least 20 times, but Super Mario Bros 3 is amazing. I love that every world has a completely different design to their levels. Even world 5, Sky Land, has 2 different themes! It's amazing for an NES game. I got it when I was 5. It'll always hold a special place in my heart.
I almost pissed myself when the Zelda CD-i king appeared. Your comedic timing is top-notch

Super Mario Bros 3 is my favorite game of all time
Although part of that may be because it was the first game I ever played
tbh it's my favorite mario game over mario world because it came out 6 days before the japanese release of one of my favorite video game consoles.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_Genesis
Also it's generally harder and if i had to decide, i perfer hard levels over exploration. that doesn't mean that i hate exploration, (I LOVE BoTW) but if i had to pick between a sequenced point a to point b mario game over a sandbox mario, i'd pick the point a to point b. :/
Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World are my top 2 favorite Mario games of all time. While some may argue that Super Mario Bros. 3 is overrated (along with Super Mario World) I think it really does deserve the praise that it gets. It expanded so much upon the Mario universe and added so many things that would soon become a staple to the series. Overall, it's a huge improvement over Super Mario Bros. 1 and Lost Levels and will, in my opinion, go down as one of the best games of all time next to Super Mario World.
Mario The Red Wildfire & Luigi the Green Thunder (Super Mario & Luigi) I completely agree with you. I know that Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3 deserve the praise because, they were addictive games and I would spend hours playing these games.
+Helios, God of Fire I enjoyed SMB. 3 far more than SMW.(I still do.)
Agree whole hardly. And probably the best 2D Mario games. As well as Land 2: 6 Golden Coins.
Super Mario Advance 4 is the game that introduced me to the Mario Franchise. It really changed the way I thought of video games and shaped who I am today.
You may not have been aware of this, but I will inform you anyhow.
There are powerups added with the e-reader.
The cape feather was a card you can get in the USA... But...
In Japan, there was a Boomerang 'Powerup' card.
Why did I put that in quotations? Because it's not an item lost from damage, you actually can throw a blue boomerang ( Super Mario 3[D])
And these power ups can be accessed through the action replay.
Interesting. I didn't know that.
So that's the origin of the boomerang powerup.
Wait, so you keep the powerup even after taking damage?
I remember when I was five years old, and my dad and I would leave the old NES system on to make sure our progress would still stand. We still played the game to oblivion, but completing it was a chore. It was why Kirby's Adventure was my favorite game on the system.
It was also why I loved the save feature on All-Stars and the GBA port.
Princess Peach gets kidnapped later in the game while Mario is running around saving different kingdoms.
13:38 made my day 😆 awesome editing. One of the best most fav in the classic mario games
There is something about the look of the original Mario Bros 3 that I don't think any of its remakes captured
IDK what it is. Perhaps just the black overalls for all I know
yea,SMB3 has a style that for some reason always looks awesome even now
For me, an important part of the SMB3 experience is the graphical glitching in the first and last columns as you scroll some areas. Sometimes you got tile combinations that are funny. I wish they had an option to retain this glitchy scrolling mechanic in the new releases. IMO, the perfect SMB3 would be to simply add battery save and previous world selection to the NES cart... and maybe one more location to find the hammer suit.
@@not2tired So basically the NES Classic Series treatment like SMB 1 got on the GBA?
Original has that stageplay aesthetic. The remakes ditch that.
The colors are less vibrant and it has no backgrounds, the game looks more dry
My only problem with Mario 3's controls, is Mario's acceleration and top speed were a bit too fast, causing me to overshoot jumps over pits, as mentioned in Johnny's review. Though I do agree the floaty jump is really nice in Mario 3, the acceleration is just too fast, and I know I can just let go of B, but then Mario's too slow for me. Its just nitpicking at this point, but I feel Mario World had a better balance. Also you can slow Mario's descent in World by holding the jump button longer, kinda like a more subtle Cap Feather.
I agree with you that Advance 4 looks better than both Advance 2 and even the original 1991 Super Mario World, but there's no way the original 1990 Super Mario Bros. 3 looks better than the original 1991 Super Mario World.
Seriously he's just being completely Bias the shading on the sprites is completely better in super Mario world and the colorful world is beautiful and has held the test of time.
+Baby Grinch why? He can't be biased? It's his opinion.
***** Actually I can see where you're getting at. After looking at both for a while, the SMB3 sprites do look better. And as you said, SMW has superior colors.
Yes, SMB3 is late in the NES lifecycle. But SMW is early in the SNES cycle. SMB3 is a great technical achievement, while SMW is not.
I don't see what that has to do with which looks better, though. SMW looks better, even if I think the gameplay isn't as much fun.
Sure, SMB3 has some sprites that look as good as anything in SMW. But it also has some ugly sprites (Goombas, Koopa Troopa heads). And it just always had this dirtier look to it, while SMW is shined up.
Now the SNES version shines up everything so well that I can argue that the art is better. And I do think that SMW could have looked better than it did. And there are some NES games (Kirby, Jackie Chan, Batman 2) whose graphics rival SNES games.
But I still say SMW looks better than SMB3 NES.
Now, if you said Super Mario Land 2, then I could see the comparison. That game looks really good.
I think the sprites and graphics in SMB3 look better. While the graphics in SMW are definitely very colourful, they have this weird blurry thing going on with them. It looks like someone has smeared Vaseline on the camera, and it has bothered me to this day. The sprites for the enemies in SMW look way too friendly and awkward for my liking. Bowser looks so strange, and the fact that they never used the same sprite for SMM2, proves that Nintendo thought the same. The sprites for the enemies in SMB3 look more menacing, which is why there is no contest for me when it comes to what game looks the best.
Thank GOD for the Wii U version for making all of the E-Reader levels available at once.
I'm glad your audio quality is getting better because I like the concept of this series.
As a longtime of both 3 and World, I find myself actually preferring the snappier movement of World's controls. With 3, Mario's got so much momentum that I feel like I'm constantly fighting to get him up to speed or keep him from going off a cliff. Not that I necessarily think the game would be better with World's controls inserted; clearly 3 was designed around a Mario with floaty jumps and the momentum of a semi, so ultimately it works.
I've been trying to figure out how to describe the control difference for years. This I exactly how I feel
If you want to finish Bowser of I recommend you use the fire flower or the hammer suit to kill Bowser. Trust me I tried it and it worked. But it won't kill the Koopalings but the fire flower will!
When you said "URKIN' MCGURKIN'" I lost it. Another great review!
I agree. I love Super Mario 3 better than World. But World is a great game too
In my opinion they are tied, I love both of them so much that I would never pick one over the other. I have all versions of both because they are just such excellent games!
mexiluvsw Yeah, I recently played World and now they're tied. There's always something to love about both games.
+mexiluvsw I don't like shrinking automatically. Also there aren't very many easter eggs in World.
Mario 3 wins it for me.
I think SMB3 is better too.
Super Mario Bros. 3 is my all-time favorite game.
Nathan Alderson It is mine, too!!!
+Nathan Alderson Ditto.
Nathan Alderson the all stars and gba version are
sm64 is 0.000001% better :/
It's an awesome game, but with it's bipolar difficulty I enjoyed Super Mario World much more.
There's actually 2 patches. One for the 3x normal levels, and other for 5 special Star levels.
A very stupid move, the E-Reader was. But not the only one. The game only could store so many levels and it seems that you couldn't erase the ones you already had to put new levels, so you had to choose what levels "you wouldn't want in your game" or just buy a second game.
It was truly stupid, and sad. But thanks to the hacking comunity we can play those levels, and are pretty fun!
There was even a Cape Feather Power up from Mario World!
Another thing that I've just noticed is that in the E-Reader levels you can play as Luigi, and he for some reason has the floaty jump and the low traction that he has in Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World. But in the main game he is pretty different.
This is really weird.
Wow
Floatiness is actually great and all, but the controls feel slippery to me. Also, Yoshi is AWESOME in world and Mario's jump is totally fine to me.
Also, the colors of NES SMB3 always felt washed out imo
Nicolas K. It’s the NES what do you think? Fool
Anakin Skywalker
Kirby’s adventure and castlevania 3 were pretty colorful, so your argument is?
A great review!
But you failed to mention the warp pipes when you ranted about the lack of a save/password feature in the NES version. Warping to different worlds is a fair enough system that allows the player to skip parts they already played in a previous run.
Someone must've said this already, but I couldn't see any comments about this.
Moshugaani I brought those up in the All Stars review. I had forgot to in this one.
True, but all of your inventory items are GONE. I almost would never dare to take on Darkland without any power ups in my inventory.
3:19 'Even the backgrounds have a surprising amount of detail to them'
Background is literally just lines.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who finds Super Mario 3 better than Super Mario World
Preston Stroud let me explain why
More powers
I enjoy the airships and tanks and boat a lot
I think the worlds are a bit more varied.
Plot is a bit more interesting
Inventory system
Interactive over world with the special items to skip random encounters, skip levels, and more.
However, I also prefer world for reasons
Alternate exits
Secrets to find
Yoshi
Star world is an awesome secret
What are your reasons?
a bunch of people like it better than world or vice versa. apparently a lot of people like Galaxy of all games better than all of them. I don't think Galaxy holds a candle to Mario 64 or even Sunshine.
Im 13 yo and i bought snes mini and defeated smw for 2 hours and i regret not getting mario 3 (my friedn bought the nes mini btw)
I know Mario 3 is still my favorite game ever and yah i know this video is old but who cares
Mario credits themes always make me tear up. They are so good!!! 😭😊✊
Yes yes
+Caleb Jaaniste It annoys me when people expect me to reply to their comments, but their comment for some reason doesn't have a reply option underneath it. From what I understand, you have to deliberately set your account to not let people reply. But that's enough about that. The Boost Formula Sonic games have perfectly functional and well rounded controls. In fact, they give Sonic his most detailed and versatile moveset yet, which allows for some intricate level design and makes speed running an absolute thrill. The only game that comes close to losing that functionality is Unleashed, seeing as the camera always seems a little too close up and some of the later levels experience some slowdown. For Colors and Generations, they toned down the speed just a little, pulled the camera back, added more platforming, and ultimately achieved the best balance of speed and platforming of any Sonic games yet released, Classic and Dreamcast era titles included. And that's on top of the better storytelling, the gorgeous visuals, the genre varied soundtracks, the excellent boss fights, and all the other small great touches that Sonic Team put into those titles. That doesn't make the other games bad in the slightest, it just means I consider a particular gameplay style more fun to play than other perfectly playable and fun gameplay styles. I actually like Sonic Adventure 2 quite a bit, myself, and I also used to be a pretty biased Dreamcastian. But eventually I realized the many flaws of Adventure, Adventure 2, and Heroes, gained a deeper appreciation for the Classics, and embraced Colors and Generations as taking the best elements of the Classics and Dreamcast titles while being its own unique thing. That is why they are my favorite Sonic games.
There was an NES at my game store (idk why) I got it an loaded up Super Mario Bros 3. And holy crap it felt soooo goood. Your so right, controlling is perfect. I made it to the first airship and got a crap ton of lives from bouncing off bullets and balls.
I think super mario bros looks bland...
There's another remake. But it was Super Mario 64.
Ludivings aways last and yet he aways really easy expect for the super mario bros will that was hard
***** Wow. Someone's pissy
What's even better now is if you have either the Wii U or the Switch Versions, you get access to every single e-Reader level released or otherwise. A definite must for Mario enthusiasts!
I remember playing Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 and having a lot of fun with the game. I had a few of the e-Cards and an e-Reader, so I was able to play some of those levels and use the Cape Feather, at least. If you use certain emulators, then it's possible to be able to play all of those levels and use those power-ups and switches whenever you want.
Holy crap! I was on the fence about getting the GBA version of Mario 3, but daaaamn, now I'mma get it. Thanks, man! That was a fantastic video!
Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 3 both handle picking up Koopa Shells very differently. SMB3 forces you to walk up to a shell and then hold the run button to pick it up, while in SMW it's possible to just hold the run button and then jump on the shell to pick it up. This is later used in the more recent games that I've become so accustomed to this playstyle and find SMB3 and the older games clunky to control making me prefer SMW over SMB3.
You know, I'm glad that you like the music in Mario 3 better than Mario World. I do, too. Great Rebreak! :D
I've always wondered why in every Mario platformer the music for all the different level types (overworld, castle, etc.) EXCEPT the underground theme.
Fantastic review. I've got Super Mario World as a better drunk party game due to how crazy easy it is, but otherwise, I gladly admit that Mario 3 is the better game, despite the many times I've revisited World and the nostalgia factor. I can think of more than a few stages in World where that little bit of jump hang would've been fantastic. Going to try out those bonus levels and maybe even replay the main game (for all the places I skipped via warp whistle) on emulator at some point now.
I have to absolutely AGREE... the way Mario controls on SMB3 IS the reason if not one of the main reasons the game is so awesome. ONLY few understand this and IF probably many do then that's why they know it's awesome. Fighting bosses or flying or hanging and bouncing on an enemy then when air borne guiding Mario to land some place was such an awesome feeling that allowed me to enjoy interacting with the areas even more. I remember when floating down I wanted to fall faster and I stopped my tail more and was able to speed up a freefall then slow down and land as I wanted to. THAT WAS AWESOME! Agreed!
I recently played through Mario World and now I'm playing SMB3. I tried Mario games several time in the past, but I hated them because of the floaty and gliding controls. Once you finally master them it starts to be fun however, and because I played SMW first, the control of SMB3 feels awkward since it's just bit different, not much, but enough to throw off some of jumps.
10:48 Maybe the Koopalings are considered the children of Bowser's Brother nowadays? If you don't know who that is, he's the Blue Bowser that appears in the NES version of The Lost Levels in 8-4. (though he was eventually retconned into being a particularly-convincing Fake Bowser, which was then retconned into being a mysterious individual, so... maybe not.)
Holy shit, I love this channel.
Finally, a game reviewer who's _not_ completely biased. :D
The Game Boy Advance version of Super Mario Bros. 3 was the first version that I ever owned and played. As the years went by, I also had the opportunity to play the original NES version and the SNES "All-Stars" version.
Finally someone agrees that smb3 is by far the best mario game
Nice vids, man. I had the same feelings play SMB3 and SMW. Note though that the Warp Whistle from SMB3 NES was intended to facilitate save or password features, much like the Warp Zones from the original SMB. With them whistle you can warp back to whatever level you left off on. You do still lose your power ups and stuff so that is a bummer.
Ah yes, the SMB3 vs SMW debate will never end.
Fun fact: *PART OF IT IS FULL OF PEOPLE WHO THINK SUPER MARIO 3 IS FAR BETTER THAN SUPER MARIO WORLD, EVEN THOSE WHO THINK BOTH ARE GREAT GAMES (myself included, but then again, because Super Mario World is a phenomenal launch title for the Super Nintendo, I can’t really say it’s much less greater than Mario 3).*
It's like choosing between daughter and mom
Or Mother Therese vs. Dwayne Johnson, we know these are the best real-life people in the world, but it’s hard to pick who could possibly be the only best of the best.
People note the number of levels in SMB3, but they ignore that they are generally shorter than SMW or even SMB1's levels. That's why they don't give them save points in the middle.
As for moving between levels--that's why they made the Warp Whistles so easy to find. Just play the first 3 or 4 levels and warp back to the World you were on, just like you'd used a continue.
And it's why the equivalent in SMW doesn't actually help you get to any other level but Bowser's Castle.
Bowser can be beaten more directly in SMB3, BUT you need either a Fire Flower or Hammer Suit, otherwise, forget about it. You gotta beat him the other way.
Super Mario Advance 4 was the game I got with my GBA (that just so happened to have a packed in e-reader). Mario 3 was my favourite NES game as a kid but by the time the GBA came out I’d lost my NES. Having a portable version of my favourite game was a godsend.
*YOU SAVED ME!!!*
Oh, Philips CD-I, how I love you for the numerous amounts of YTPs spawned back in 2008, though at the same time, I hated you so fucking much!
Heads up to anyone who owns a Wii U, the virtual console version of Super Mario Advance 4 has some of the ecard reader levels unlocked, so that would be an interesting buy (or just an interesting download haha) so I would recommend buy it or getting it before the Wii U eshop officially closes down in who knows how long.
3:19 "Even the backgrounds have a nice amount of detail to them."
*shows the least detailed background in the game*
Wow! there sure are a lot of white lines in the sky!
For someone who played Super Mario World (which was my first ever Video Game I played), I prefer SMB3 over SMW. And hell, I did a series of four frog suit only run Live Streams on Facebook which was successful (even though the third Livestream went down the gutter).
The GBA version of SMB3 is way better.
Wow this wah 7 years ago i remember waching this as a kid
Oh god the e-reader what was Nintendo thinking with device?? I like the concept of being able to play games from cards you could collect. Still as you pointed out the downside came to extra levels, power-ups etc for a the few games that supported the device.
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire was another one of these games where you could fight extra trainers, get evolution stones etc, but you needed to have the same damn set up. Well I enjoyed this review, and you eared a new subscriber.
***** Nintendo always tries very hard to add gimicks to their systems. When done right they sell like hot pancakes, like the Wii, it literally printed money. Then you have things like the weird virtual boy and the now new Wii U which flat out made them lost a lot of revenue. In spite of their failures I applaud them for trying to be creative, specially when they nail it.
I haven't gotten far enough in oras to know but it would be cool if they put the e-reader stuff in oras
***** llkmjmj
***** because technically you can design your own levels by designing and decoding the card information
+Alex Solares I still wouldn't consider the Wii U a complete failure.
Mario 3D World's Bowser music is just perfect for the character!
Dude, you're f*cking amazing. *SUBSCRIBED!*
UltraJordanGaming Love the enthusiasm. Thanks!
all the e reader levels are on the Wii U virtual console version of Advance 4
I respect your opinion for liking SM3 more than SMW but some of your reasons are pretty dumb
@@NintendoDude888 like saying the max amount of lives you can get in SMW bonus game is 3 if you are really really lucky.
You were right but this is 2019
@Kagereneko Super mario world has the better world by far. I don't even know how people think 3's is better. Branching paths, star world, Hidden switches, secret exits leading to another secret part of a world, like lmfao. SMB3 has the enemy encounters, but besides that, umm, hammer-required secrets? Very shitty arguments tbh. Plus being able to play mario bros is more of a cool throwback, and not much else. I've played all Mario world and mario 3 versions except the all stars versions of both.
@@historygaming767 2020
You are the dumb one
8:33
Thank you. Thank you.
I felt that I was the only one that hated SMW's broken jumping + air physics, nearly ruined the entire game for me back in the day.
Edit: Also holy balls I forgot how much I hated World 3 in SMB3
Somecallmejohnny also forgot to mention Bullet Bills in his SMB review. What an odd coincidence.
16:28 Video about the differences starts here😅
Again, the GBA Remake looks so damn colorful!
The GBA's of this is the port/remake of the SNES All-Star's version.
Yes
There is a way to play as Luigi for the whole game. You have to start a Mario & Luigi game, transfer all but 1 of Mario's lives to Luigi and walk into a Goomba or whatever as Mario.
XD the part with King Harkian was hiarious
Ace coins were added in the eReader stages, just not the main ones. You really don't need to replay the main stages, unlike in SMB2 and SMW, to get the special coins.
actually, if you have fire flower or hammer suit you can beat King Koopa with enough shots :)
Homestar reference earns a subscription on its own. I’m also a huge Johnny fan.
Nintendo missed an epic opportunity with the dsi shop and a rerelease of super mario advance 4 as dsi shop title, downloadable content, powerups... seriously nintendo do you really not like making money?
They have become a little smarter about listening to the fans by those detailed surveys they give for club Nintendo. I wish they would remake these older games for the 3ds
mexiluvsw _I know_... right...?! :/
Fun little tid bit about e-reader cards. Since I didn't know what an e-Reader was when I was younger and just had some of the cards, I just thought that if you swiped them into your gba slot with your game in it(assuming it would fit, most times it would), the card would system would actually respond with the card.
I agree with you 100% that 3 is way better then world. I was addicted to 3 when it came out. Especially the advance remake. World I don't know why I bought it. World is cool just doesn't bring much more to the table then a commitment from Nintendo to use there flagship star on all there platforms. :P
I loved Super Mario World as a kid (and still do) and didn't very like SMB3 (and actually still don't).
My biggest complainment was always that SMB3 is plain ugly in my eyes. SMW looks beautiful and the music is incredible. When playing SMW I felt like I'm in the world, when I played SMB3 I just felt like playing a video game.
Very well made video. I totally accept your opinion, it's super interesting how different tastes are.
There is actually a Japanese e-reader card that gives Luigi his Flutter jump.
What?! Nintendo did really f'ed up on GBA's SMB 3, worldwide!
It's awesome that we can now officially play all the ereader levels on the switch version.
Eh, I disagree. I think Mario World has the best control. Then again it's my favorite so it's predictable for me to think that.
And thats ok more power to you
Thank you for shouting out to Johnny. I agree with you about the game, my 2 favorite Mario games are 3 and World. Funny thing is I've still not beaten the final 2 levels of World 7
They should have a e-reader app for the Wii U so you can use the e-reader stuff on gba games you've got on Wii U
Jared foxy perhour - alpaca king *_I know_*... right...?! (...or on Nintendo 3DS.) :/
Lol
Played the GBA version as a kid. Later picked up the NES version on Wii Virtual Console. Both are amazing... can't really pick one over the other - remakes in general don't usually add or subtract too much IMO unless its a full overhaul (Pokemon remakes, etc).
The gameplay and controls are superb, and the level design... that's what really sets this game apart. I'm not sure whether Mario World or Mario 3 has the edge here... they both have some of the best level types ever (Ghost Houses, Airships)... but I do suppose Mario 3 gets an edge from controls.
Also, you forgot to mention that you can beat Bowser w/ the Hammer Suit. Best Powerup EVAR.
There's not 96 levels, there's 96 EXITS.
That's true. SMB3 actually had more levels.
Jesus fucking Christ, shut the fuck up. We wouldn’t have this problem if Nintendo didn’t flat out LIE on the cover of SMW by saying it has 96 levels.
wut
@@Rountree1985 😂😂😂
I don't feel that a lack of a save feature really subtracts from the NES version at all. Pretty much everyone knows about the warp whistles. Not to mention, 95% of the games back then didn't have one either. The game warrants and rewards frequent play, with all the secrets. I know these days people need auto-saves and all that stuff, but there is a reason for the term "NES hard". Fantastic video.
This is pretty much my favourite classic mario game as well. SMW is REALLY good, but SMB 3 is unmatched in it's total and consistent awesomeness as a game. So yes, I totally agree with your review of this game!
+Adolphus Cox Nothing, I mean NOTHING beats Super Mario Bros. 3, it is in my book one of if not the GREATEST game of all time. A complete masterpiece from start to finish. All Stars may have given it a graphic upgrade and save feature, but 1989/1990's SMB. 3 is timeless. It is hands down the BEST Mario game ever made. Nintendo and Miyamoto will never and since then has never duplicated such perfection.
Mario 3 just perfects EVERYTHING about Mario and all platformers in general. Spot on control, superb level design, inegenutive and creative presentation, flawless hit detection, innovative weapons, tons and TONS of hidden easter eggs and secrets, a stellar and terrific difficulty level where every stage offers a fantastic paced challenge. And quirky characters and text.
SEGA twice got close to this with Sonic CD and Sonic The Hedgehog 3 and tried as HARD as they could with Sonic Adventure 2. SEGA learned from Nintendo how to make excellent platformers. Nobody not even Sony with their overblown LBP will ever reach that level of effort.
The Advance remake gave the classic some nifty extras in addition to introducing millenials to the masterpiece that ended the 80s.
Tornado1994 I don’t get why the game would get more praise than some modern Mario games besides the whole originality complaint (which I think is overdone; why do people care so much about originality these days?).
Goooohh, you actually put time into your videos, I’m impressed.
It's funny how SMA4 is a remake of a remake.
***** do u think they would ever remake Mario bros 3 or Mario world for the 3ds with updated 3d graphics or would it be a waste of time and money since remakes already exist?
***** It still uses the graphics and music from the SMAS version with some additional content and features though, making it technically a remake of a remake.
Oh lel. Sorry, couldn't tell.
Yep. I sometimes use poor grammar when I'm joking/sarcastic, that way it's much easier to tell.
the deliciously sinister airship theme
SMM2 night airship theme: How bout a nap?
Dude! I freaking love this series I'm a new sub, man I love this, I'm 15 Mexican American I have the super mario bros the 1 in yoshi and this one. My dad loves Mario he showed me these games and we love it. Seeing some one making this type of videos is a boss your the man. I think you deserve more subs can you please upload the extra levels I never knew until today. Your commentaries are funny and great since you cyz in random moments. I've seen almost all of the mario series I need to see the deluxe. I'm planning to get all of the Marios game for my gameboy, I have 3 gameboys and one gameboy color. Keep up the good work. I hope you see this comment man. I know going for all of these classic mario games will be hard and I want get snes and the mario games for that system also do you play ps3? Or your have a different system I have a wii new super mario game I love it.
Man, these advance games are my childhood, btw I actually played Advance 4 first before 2 xD
"Mario 3 looks better from mario world" *No.*
also this was a mario 3 vs mario advance not super mario world vs mario 3
YoshiVonGold twat Exactly. I put a comment on this video a long time ago on the same subject but it got deleted. It's fine if you like Mario 3 more than Mario world, but you don't need to rub it in with lacklustre reasons. Most of the comparing is between Mario world and Mario 3, not between Mario Bros 3 and super Mario advance 4.
Even considering that I consider Mario 3 better, I agree with you not looking as good as World. I also think the boss fights, despite having very similar Koopaling boss fights each time, the boss fights in Mario 3 are more challenging and fun than the Koopaling fights in World.
Super Mario Bros 3 matches the aesthetic of the series as a whole better than World. World looks like it could be a Flinstones game.
@Leon Romański Mario 3 has better sprites bu Mario Worls has vibrant colors. Idk what to choose
I got Mario 3 for GBA sealed in the box for $5. I'm tempted to open it, but I'll just find a loose copy of the game instead. Great review BTW.
I agree this game controls miles better than world.
This is probably already been said but the Mario and Luigi mode is like a two player mode from the older games back in the day
I declare Super Mario Advance 4 as a Rebreak. It lacks the charm of the orginal game. *sarcasm*
To quote WBG here, "It's not the same as the original, so therefore it's bad!"
+Red Who Just kidding. I *love* the SNES and GBA version.
+Axyl Fredrick LOLZ!
What's interesting is, you probably could do the e-reader nowadays. I mean the 3DS allows scanning those weird square thingies, I could have easily seen collectable cards work with that, I mean there's amiibos, why not mii-cards or whatever?
Though I would LOVE to see a compilation of all the Super Mario Advance remakes on one cartridge, with the e-cards already unlocked. Woulda made a heck of a better 25th anniversary than the lazy all stars port to the wii! Ah well.
i have the gba mario 3 and i looove it
You have great taste bruh
you need a switch powerup to revert luigi to his world physics in the main game, he behaves the same in the e-levels as he did in super mario advance 2
