Super Mario Bros 3 is a timeless game and is my favorite side scroller although Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country give it a run for its money

SMW is one of the greatest platformers of all time, but SMB3 was such a huge leap forward it's hard to say

I'd say I enjoyed playing sm3 over world.

World was a little friendlier, especially with the extra power up and Yoshis. But it's the kind of game I can't go back and play anymore. I played it a ton back then and I'm satisfied with it to never want to play it again. But 3, I can't get enough of.

This thread isn’t complete without mentioning how Super Mario Bros 3 was introduced to the world in the climax to the movie The Wizard.

Such a core memory of my childhood. Blew my tiny little mind.

I love the power glove, it's so bad

It is, in fact, so bad. Alas, not in the 80s way.

It was unusably awesome
