Holy [parasitic bomb].

Funfacts about SMB3:

- Nintendo licensed an entire movie, "The Wizard", to hype the population for it's upcoming release. In said movie, they hinted at a way to warp between massive sections of the game.
- Prior to this generation, it was the single highest selling video game not bundled with a console ever.
- The entire game is a play. Think about it for a second. (Mind blown yet?)
- There are 3 warp whistles in the game.
- The "God Mode" hammer suit can only be worn one at a time. You can only get a hammer suit in worlds 6 & 7 at certain Toad's Houses.
- Kuribo's Shoe was only available in one level. It is still the best powerup ever.

Now then, to take this thread in another direction, what were my fellow RPMers doing 20 years ago?

I was 5 months old.

Really? Well Happy 20th Birthday to you, my (least) Favourite Mario game!

Oh and, I didn't exist at the time

I was three years old minding my own business.

I wasn't born yet. By the time I first got to play it. It was on the SNES Super Mario All-Stars.

I didn't play the original NES version until 2-3 years ago.

Probably playing this at all of 3 years old, giggling at the funny man jumping in the pit.

I remember how cool and original the ... Panoocio? Statue-racoon-suit, was. And the shoe. And the hammer suit. And the jumping biting flower things. And the ice world (lol hindsight) with all its frozen enemies just waiting to be thawed so they could bite you. And the supersized enemies of world 5. And the tanks and airship armadas in world 8.
I also remember being bewildered by the simplest of puzzles, I think I got through them by sheer random luck in which doors I skipped.

Oh yeah, SMB 3 ...It´s a good game but I never had a special relationship with it...probably because I´ve alredy beaten Super Mario world before I finnaly could play it...

Man, I remember first playing this when it came out. I was 8 years old. Heh, where does the time go...

Hypershell · **Reply #12 on:** February 13, 2010, 12:36:41 AM

Well, I was 5, and killing Mario so I could play as Luigi.

HyperSonicEXE · **Reply #14 on:** February 13, 2010, 12:52:06 AM

I was 3, got SMB3 the next year (iirc) for my b-day.

I really didn't follow games as closely as I can, now, what with the internet and all.

That was about the same age for me too. Got it the very first day.
It was one of my happiest birthdays back then. ^^

HeeHee, well you couldn't have been 8. Otherwise you'd be 28 or 29 years old right now.

Karai · **Reply #19 on:** February 13, 2010, 01:34:31 AM

I was 3, and I don't remember anything.
I played SMB3 for the first time 5 or 6 years later.

Turian · **Reply #20 on:** February 13, 2010, 01:41:36 AM

I was 7 at the time. I had just beat the original and the second one was not available, so my mom got me three. I loved how many extra men you could stack up it that game. Note: I didn't really notice how much better the graphics were. Weird how nobdy cared about that stuff back then.

HokutoNoBen · **Reply #21 on:** February 13, 2010, 02:11:20 AM

...Heh. Like I really need to explain my love for this game.

Any way, I was 6 going on 7. Life was awesome, for the most part.

Solar · **Reply #22 on:** February 13, 2010, 02:19:42 AM

When this was released I was only -2 years old

OBJECTION MAN · **Reply #23 on:** February 13, 2010, 05:33:11 AM

Twenty years ago I was playing this game. I remember the movie too.

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #24 on:** February 13, 2010, 05:42:45 AM

I was 2 years old. Pissing and crappin' mah diapers.

but man, I remember watching my brother play through this so many times and all the little tricks w/ the game's mechanics he learned by himself which is now, common knowledge to most SMB3 experts.

Even now, he can go through SMB3 in one day. And he still loves it, hehe~
