Amazing, I remember playing this game and getting so frustrated for months until some of these secrets were shared by some of my friends skipping worlds with the flutes. When I finally finished the game which was insanely difficult at that time when I was 8. I decided to play it through and was blown away by the design of each world and the simplicity but difficulty of some levels even the music when I got to world 4 for the first time was catchy and interesting. These secrets are the cherry on top. You did a great job showing these!
One of the things that i remembered and it was revolutionary at its time was that in smb3 was that each level had a theme you could pin...like i dont remember all the theme at 40 but i can recall alot Stage 1: default kingdom(aka mushroom kingdown) Stage 2: desert kingdom(also a part of mushroom later confirmed) Stage 3: aqua land Stage 4: giant land And so on and so forth. Every other game just had st.1,st 2 Smb3 devs actually cared to do more than just stage...they added element and theme..no one else known did this.
Super Mario Bros. 3(1989) is just pure gaming perfection. Its Something that I think both Nintendo and SEGA have only achieved several times, and something Sony has NEVER achieved. Its reaching the pinnacle of Gaming design and Ingenuity. Developing and designing a Game that's not only noteworthy and memorable, its TIMELESS and ages brilliantly. SMB 3 is when Nintendo first achieved it, They did it again with Starfox and the Ocarina of Time. SEGA first achieved it with Sonic CD, did it again with Sonic and Knuckles, then again with Panzer Dragoon Saga.
@@segaunited3855 I won't hesitate to buy it if I ever see it at a yard sale or flea market even though I have all versions of it (SNES, GBA, and NES). I even have digital copies of it on my consoles.
@@catstermarioholoic4092 I brought a used NES from Game Crazy in May 2000. It came with SMB 3., I modded the NES with my Game Genie. I STILL have my NES and SMB 3.
It became one of the best Mario games when it was shown to the world in "The Wizard." It was the most anticipated NES game of all time!!!! I'm pretty sure it needs no reinforcement that it's one of the best.
When I was a kid I discovered you could warp to level 8 from level one if you got both flutes and played the second flute while on the level select screen
I found out like half the secrets on my own back in the day, I was like 8 years old and was the happiest kid on the planet. The cool thing about it was that we didn't have internet, so we were on our own, and video games actually became adventures and gave us the element of surprise. Something kids nowadays will never understand.
+DelgadoA This is true. We didn't have the internet or Nintendo Power mags in my household (too poor for NP). Everything was word of mouth at school. Friends sharing with friends. Hand drawn maps. Stuff like that. It was awesome :)
There's just something that gives so much satisfaction about finding all of the secrets in games back in the day. I miss old school gaming so much, it was a much better time!
Found this video by chance, brings back sooooooooo many memories... I remember like yesterday back in 1990 when I played this game, and yes, pretty much knew all of those secrets... and yes, I too used the clouds on Fire World.
Hey BTG I’m a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiggggg fan of you I’ve watched your king bill rush and your goomba rush and Mario with his time machine your videos are popular
I remembered some of these secrets from playing it back in the day but some I had no idea about and I really appreciate your help! You did a great job of showing and explaining! My husband and I got this for our younger son for Christmas and he is enjoying it so much and I love playing it with him and reminiscing on this and showing him all the tricks! Thank you!
Nearly all the levels of this game are torched in my brain in a way I´ll never forget them. I still own my Snes with Super Mario All Stars to play this gem. Great work you put in there documenting all the secrets.
Another cool secret. In world 1 (and maybe other worlds) if you finish a level with double numbered coins, and the tens place in your score matches it, (i.e. 55 coins and 11750 points), AND your timer is an even number, the wandering hammer bros turns into a treasure ship.
@@nicolasfredette8564 it transforms the hammer brother into a flying ship with lots of coins. It may happen in some worlds not all. Another secret in 7.8 I think, a hammer brother suit lies in a pipe.
You can also use the timer to alter how your score ends. Every second left is 50 points. So for example, if you have 55 coins and have a 0 as your next to last digit in your score, you can purposely hit the end card randomized with an odd number in the timer to push the score ahead to end in 50 and not 00.
God I just love tgese old games compared to these new games that are out. I would much rather speed my days playing these than newer games. I literally have every old system ever mad with games I'm going to be hooking up my NES and SNES soon as I get me a new power adapter for both.
o shit I always wondered about that ship. I was startled to see it first time in act 2 coming out of the pyramid icon! I do remember now that it had a lot of coins! Thanks for that awesome memory!
Thanks for making this. I love how much thought designers put into these oldschool games, and I have a healthy appreciation for those who take time out of their lives to reflect that. :)
+desmond harris 29...and i thought i knew this games secrets. never needed the ships to stay still, hardly ever had to try them twice. we were just pro man we didn't need to know that crap lol
I knew about all of those but it sure was fun to watch. They sure dont make games like they used to. I loved how there were bonuses for actually taking the time to collect items.
To answer your question. Yes, Nintendo Power made a guide that was sold side by side with SM3 at release. I had this book and it covers everything you have here and so much more. Like how to determine which match game order you are playing sense they were simi random with about 4 or 5 possible layouts. Or about which of the chests to open for which items. Nintendo Power Strategy Guide (Vol. SG1 / NP 13). You can still find them on Amazon and eBay for about $20 used.
The best 2D mario game of all time! There was so much secrets in this game. You never end finding them. When I was kid, I never figured out how to find anchors... the item was in the manual, but I never found. lol! That's awesome.
Loved this game when growing up, so many rumors at lunchtime and bragging about what you were able to find on the NES. Nintendo Power and no internet, great times...great times...thanks for upload.
Also on world 8-1 if you jump into the water from the second part of the ship and wait until Mario is under water then gently tap the a button so he doesn't drown then keep gently tapping the a button enough so you don't surface u can make it to the end of the ship swimming under water. Once at the pipe press right and up and hit the a button faster will make you surface again.
+macs power Technically, it's the boat level of World 8 (2nd level) since there is an actual 8-1 and 8-2 :P But yeah, I've been doing this since back in the day. Still do. :)
I remember liking this video years ago, and I just stumbled upon it again now. Nice to see people still enjoying this game, and sharing secrets, tips, and tricks.
The anchor is very useful in world 5 as the airship can move from the clouds to the ground and keeping it in one place means you don't have to constantly replay the tower.
This was great. Youre really good at this game. SMB3 is my favorite Mario game. I may be wrong but I think SMB3 and Super Mario World(snes) was the height of the series.
There were hits after. But these were during the height of Marios initial heyday and popularity. After the snes and the deal with sony fell through, the playstation happened and nintendo kind of struggled ever since to compete, and we know what happened to sega lol. IMO the snes was nintendo at its prime(as consoles go).

Way way WAY back in the day, there was actually a book just for hidden stuff in this game. It told you how to get the toad houses, warp whistles, anchors, etc. Plus, it had all the solutions for the memory game thing. Man, I feel old now.
For a short period of time, a subscription to Nintendo Power in clouded 4 bonus strategy guides. 1 was for SMB 3, 1 was for Ninja Gaiden 2 and I cannot remember what the other 2 covered. Anyway, as for the guide for SMB 3, it told you EVERYTHING about the game. Exactly how and where to gain access to the white mushroom houses, in which worlds you can make the coin ship appear, etc. To put the icing on the cake, the guide included the exact layouts of every variation of the memory card matching game. This guide helped me tremendously and to this day I still remember everything about the game. So, your video provides nothing more than what has now become public knowledge.
I got a whistle once when I was really little and I couldn't remember where I got it from. I used it and I just remember being blown away. I can't remember what happened though. Holy crap this took me back! I didn't know any of the secrets, cause I was a loner (so no secret trading) and I wasn't allowed near anything that allowed internet access.
Also, on the 8-Bit NES (american) version, after finishing the game and restarting it right away (without turning off or resetting), you start with a complete stack of P-Wings! Every item in your item bar is a P-Wing, totally filled to the end! I felt thrilled when i discovered that years ago, lol.
If it wasn't for that book they made... I remember my parents especially my mom who loved this game also paid like 50$ for it. But that book told all the secrets!
Not me. I discovered the white block thing myself and i was so proud about that. This game makes you go search for stuff and which i did. No books or whatever i used
To each his own. Although I doubt anyone in school at the time found everything out on their own. Kids talked about this shit all day everyday. That's where most of the crazy secrets were revealed... Never bought a single book but not because we were above it but because we were too cheap...lol.
Ayman Hawari - Not true. The way to turn one of the hammer bros into one of the coin ships is to finish a level with the next to last digit of your score and both numbers in your coin total need to be the same. Examples: 11 coins and the next to last digit in your score is 1, 22 coins and the next to last digit being 2, etc. I do also believe that this can only be done in levels 1, 3, and 5, but I cannot 100% confirm this.
You made a great point about the internet. Back in the 80's as a kid playing NES we had no information to go on for any games other than magazines and TV shows, and local friends. These days the whole world becomes one mind of information with the internet and its so much easier to learn about games and learn about secrets. I had forgotten about Nintendo Power when you said it I had to smile, I had a subscription for years back then.
I'm sure you probably know this one as well, but if you run until you hear the sound letting you know that you can fly, when you come to the "flower,star,mushroom," box at the end of the levels and jump right into the bottom left corner of it you will always get a star. Thanks for the video, a lot of tricks I never knew about..... Time to dust off the SNES!
My dad showed me the first 2 whistle locations when I was very little. The second one is shown in the movie "The Wizard". That emulation glitch in 3-8 and 4-2 was pretty funny I didn't know about the different messages, that was pretty cool.
That's right, I remember that being in The Wizard now that you mention it. Makes you wonder how he knew it was there for a BRAND NEW NEVER BEFORE SEEN game. lol The message thing I found out by accident one day when I beat a koopaling with the Tanooki suit. I tried the other two suits to see if it also gave me a different message, and lo and behold, it did :)
Wow, I didn't know about any of that except for the whistles. Then again, last time I played mario bros 3 it was on the original nintendo console. I remember it clearly, I finally beat the game and had all those P suits (or whatever you call them), and my mom tripped on the controller cable and made it glitch out, so I had to start all over again. Also, those old controllers were indestructable!
+KitariFox almost indestructible....they were the perfect shape to twist in ur hand when u were mad. lol. eventually u could pop the 2 parts apart........AND IT WOULD STILL WORK!
Never knew about getting all those coins/certain amount of coins to "open" the mushroom stages, and neither the messages while wearing the specific suits, also I am not sure if I ever found an anchor. The double whistle trick to get to the last stage, and other things mentioned I did. Cool video. Forgot how amazing Super Mario Brothers 3 was, ahem" is. If there ever was a game to represent the first half decade of the 90s, it was this legendary game.
@@StickFiguresMaster What is wrong with you? You just blew up on someone for nothing? You okay man? Let me know if you need someone to talk to. I've suffered from mental illness in the past and you sound like me back then
Awesome Video. I remember some of those secrets. After I watch your video, what surprised me most was how many of these secrets I knew as a kid. I had a cousin that showed me many of them.
This is how to get the white coin ship. first your number of coins has to be a multiple of eleven ei: 22, 33, 44. Next if you pick 33 the tens digit on your score must be a 3 if 44 a 4 and so on. Ei: 9675832 (u can use the raccoon tail to hit brick blocks to achieve thid) And last hit the block at the end of the level stopping the timer on an even number. As soon as you finish voila!
Man, I remember getting this as a kid once, I thought it was normal but I never really saw it again. Just like the card house, never really understood how it worked regarding when it would appear. Things were so mysterious and fun in the 90’s with video games. I played this game for years on end, and still play it today, and I’ve still never beaten it.
@@Davers84 :One of the great things I liked about the tanooki suit is the statue defense for when you think you might be hit by an enemy or projectile. It negates the damage. You can also transform in the air, and if you are over an enemy(even ones with shells or spikes) you will take them out.😉
I'm in my mid-thirties, and Super Mario Bros 3 is one of my favourite Nintendo games over the years, but video games were more fun before the age of the internet, since it made people appreciate the secrets more.
I don't remember if you have to have the running guage thing 100% full, but if you run and hit the bottom left corner of the box, it is supposed to give you the star every time. If you miss the bottom left corner, you get a different card. I guess that's the 1% you're talking about.
yeah also like each amount like even if you weren’t going fast enough to get the star but every exact distance gets you certain results beside just being right under it with no speed that one seems to be completely random
Holy fudge.. I wore out a copy of the strategy guide back in the day, memorized pretty much all the secrets and even what the houses give, but I didn't know about that world 1 secret p-wing. Nice!
There is a level in the Ice World (might have even been the one you did where you have to fly up with the turtle shell but can't remember for sure) where you start off in a small area with a pipe to get to the main level. Well with a P-Wing you can actually skip the entire level by flying over the wall in that very first small area which gets you to the end on the other side!
Ah okay yea I couldn't remember for sure if it was that one or not. I think there is a world 7 level like that as well and maybe a couple of others. I'm usually good at remembering all the little secrets but that one I just couldn't fully remember which level it was.
I was 2-3 years old when I first played this game. I remember seeing several of these secrets throughout time. Somehow this was always my favorite Mari o game growing up as a child. 30 years later I'm still watching lol
Still my favorite game ever. Nintendo Power made a specific magazine that was all MARIO 3 tips and walkthroughs. It was something you begged your buddy to borrow
You forgot a few things. To change the world hammer turtles that move around into a white boat with coins is this. finish a level with an even number on your timer, your coins are divisible by 11 and your tenth score the same number as your coins. breaking blocks makes your score go up by 10 so that is an easy way to get your score to be the same as your coins number. Next thing you forgot was the 99 lives trick on level 2 of world 1. get a tail and go to the second pipe that guys come out of. wait until there are 3 goombas next to the one that has wings. jump and float on them over and over again with more that come out of the pipe, and you can get 60+ lives before the timer runs out. just do the level again and you should have 99 lives the second time you do it. The last thing you didn't mention and maybe you didn't know, is something that works only when you can get a tanookie suit when you hit the block that has a tanookie suit that comes out of it. Start the level with a p-wing and when you get the tanookie suit you get to keep the p-wing, so you have the tanookie-wing... or p-tanookie... either way it is pretty cool to be a flying statue.
michael cole There is a 99 lives trick in 3-9 also. Carry a Koopa shell and use it to break a block that will have it ricochet between two cannons that spit Bullet Bills. Voilà!
Nice video. I've known all this since my first ownership. Thought they were easy to figure out. Except turning the frozen choppers to coins. Now I know. Thanks.
Been playing this game since the release in late 80’s early 90’s and never had any idea about the anchor or the p wings in the blue mushrooms man. Thank you
SMB3 came out after the movie THE WIZARD was released. This game was featured in it. And the Flute in 1-3 was shown in the movie. YOU ARE AN AMZING GENIUS ON DOING A VIDEO ON A GAME PROBABLY OLDER THAN YOU ARE!
Been playing this game since April of 1991 (yup I remember the precise month) as a 10 yr old. It maintains its spot as my all time favorite game to this day. I play it nowadays via my daughter’s Nintendo Switch.

For a short period of time, a subscription to Nintendo Power in clouded 4 bonus strategy guides. 1 was for SMB 3, 1 was for Ninja Gaiden 2 and I cannot remember what the other 2 covered. Anyway, as for the guide for SMB 3, it told you EVERYTHING about the game. Exactly how and where to gain access to the white mushroom houses, in which worlds you can make the coin ship appear, etc. To put the icing on the cake, the guide included the exact layouts of every variation of the memory card matching game. This guide helped me tremendously and to this day I still remember everything about the game. So, your video provides nothing more than what has now become public knowledge.
I got a whistle once when I was really little and I couldn't remember where I got it from. I used it and I just remember being blown away. I can't remember what happened though. Holy crap this took me back! I didn't know any of the secrets, cause I was a loner (so no secret trading) and I wasn't allowed near anything that allowed internet access.
And now you have an onlyfans
@@3vpme2That comment was 8 years ago. How are you supposed to prove she actually has an OnlyFans?
Also, on the 8-Bit NES (american) version, after finishing the game and restarting it right away (without turning off or resetting), you start with a complete stack of P-Wings! Every item in your item bar is a P-Wing, totally filled to the end! I felt thrilled when i discovered that years ago, lol.
The memories this game brings back :)
I have never, even as an adult, been able to finish that level 6-5 so it was cool to watch you do it. :)
If it wasn't for that book they made... I remember my parents especially my mom who loved this game also paid like 50$ for it. But that book told all the secrets!
Not me. I discovered the white block thing myself and i was so proud about that. This game makes you go search for stuff and which i did. No books or whatever i used
To each his own. Although I doubt anyone in school at the time found everything out on their own. Kids talked about this shit all day everyday. That's where most of the crazy secrets were revealed...
Never bought a single book but not because we were above it but because we were too cheap...lol.
charging each other for the sercrets but didnt tell you thats this is life
Nintendo Power
Yea u fine
What a great trip down memory lane. Cheers dude! And here I was thinking I knew most of the secrets in the game.
What about the Golden Airships? You know, those ships FULL of coins ...
every didgit needs to end in 7
Ayman Hawari - Not true. The way to turn one of the hammer bros into one of the coin ships is to finish a level with the next to last digit of your score and both numbers in your coin total need to be the same. Examples: 11 coins and the next to last digit in your score is 1, 22 coins and the next to last digit being 2, etc.
I do also believe that this can only be done in levels 1, 3, and 5, but I cannot 100% confirm this.
@@lmj2k friggin awesome. thx. always had those ships and never knew why they appeared!
I thought it had to also be a multiple of 11
Average Joe Yeah it is multiple of 11
You made a great point about the internet. Back in the 80's as a kid playing NES we had no information to go on for any games other than magazines and TV shows, and local friends. These days the whole world becomes one mind of information with the internet and its so much easier to learn about games and learn about secrets. I had forgotten about Nintendo Power when you said it I had to smile, I had a subscription for years back then.
The question mark box being misaligned on your left screen border is driving me crazy
I noticed that too, right off!
Oh good im not the only OCD mario fan😌
I'm sure you probably know this one as well, but if you run until you hear the sound letting you know that you can fly, when you come to the "flower,star,mushroom," box at the end of the levels and jump right into the bottom left corner of it you will always get a star. Thanks for the video, a lot of tricks I never knew about..... Time to dust off the SNES!
My dad said that I got the white houses, not from coins, but from, I quote, "kicking ass."
I get a good laugh every time i read this hahaha
**kicking coins into your pocket like a badass**
he's not wrong
Your dad is awesome.
loving as
Cool video! I've had Super Mario Allstars since 1997 and I didn't know about several of these hidden secrets :)
I just enjoy the nostalgia of watching this makes me like a kid again I'm 34 now
FIRE video bro! Keep em coming! I'm down for ANYTHING SMB related :D
My dad showed me the first 2 whistle locations when I was very little. The second one is shown in the movie "The Wizard".
That emulation glitch in 3-8 and 4-2 was pretty funny
I didn't know about the different messages, that was pretty cool.
That's right, I remember that being in The Wizard now that you mention it. Makes you wonder how he knew it was there for a BRAND NEW NEVER BEFORE SEEN game. lol The message thing I found out by accident one day when I beat a koopaling with the Tanooki suit. I tried the other two suits to see if it also gave me a different message, and lo and behold, it did :)
Davers
Hey that was a terrific tutorial buddy, thank you!
Patrick Fischer
So cool to see a game this old stump people still to this day with it's secrets.
Awesome video! The first two whistles were revealed in the movie The Wizard in 1989.
A S only the first one. the main char is behind and uses wapr whiz to get to world four and blast past the competitor s
Nostalgia, one of my all time favorite super Mario game. Cool tips.
Wow, I didn't know about any of that except for the whistles. Then again, last time I played mario bros 3 it was on the original nintendo console. I remember it clearly, I finally beat the game and had all those P suits (or whatever you call them), and my mom tripped on the controller cable and made it glitch out, so I had to start all over again. Also, those old controllers were indestructable!
I would have been pissed
+KitariFox almost indestructible....they were the perfect shape to twist in ur hand when u were mad. lol. eventually u could pop the 2 parts apart........AND IT WOULD STILL WORK!
KitariFox **flutes**
KitariFox 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@fr3aky0uyou just unlocked one of my memories😂😂 twisting thm fuckers when i would get pissed 😂
So many obscure hidden things put in this game. It's crazy.
We all found the whistle back in the day thanks to The Wizard. If you haven't seen that movie you're missing out.
OG!
Never knew about getting all those coins/certain amount of coins to "open" the mushroom stages, and neither the messages while wearing the specific suits, also I am not sure if I ever found an anchor. The double whistle trick to get to the last stage, and other things mentioned I did. Cool video. Forgot how amazing Super Mario Brothers 3 was, ahem" is. If there ever was a game to represent the first half decade of the 90s, it was this legendary game.
You don't have to play the first fortress of the world 4, just save one hammer and break the rock after level 3. Another secret
Well then I just learned something new
@@StickFiguresMaster What is wrong with you? You just blew up on someone for nothing? You okay man? Let me know if you need someone to talk to. I've suffered from mental illness in the past and you sound like me back then
@@StickFiguresMaster You have a lot to say, but your channel is garbage. Maybe you should take your own advice.
StickFiguresMaster damn relax
Awesome Video. I remember some of those secrets. After I watch your video, what surprised me most was how many of these secrets I knew as a kid. I had a cousin that showed me many of them.
This is how to get the white coin ship. first your number of coins has to be a multiple of eleven ei: 22, 33, 44. Next if you pick 33 the tens digit on your score must be a 3 if 44 a 4 and so on. Ei: 9675832 (u can use the raccoon tail to hit brick blocks to achieve thid) And last hit the block at the end of the level stopping the timer on an even number. As soon as you finish voila!
There's a link in the description to another video explaining how to do it as well.
You forgot the most important detail. You can only make the coin ships appear in worlds 1, 3, 5 & 6.
Thank you...I was wondering why he doesn't include...What I always called the "pirate ghost ship" lol
Man, I remember getting this as a kid once, I thought it was normal but I never really saw it again. Just like the card house, never really understood how it worked regarding when it would appear. Things were so mysterious and fun in the 90’s with video games. I played this game for years on end, and still play it today, and I’ve still never beaten it.
@@Davers84 :One of the great things I liked about the tanooki suit is the statue defense for when you think you might be hit by an enemy or projectile. It negates the damage. You can also transform in the air, and if you are over an enemy(even ones with shells or spikes) you will take them out.😉
This vid is blazing hot. Really liked this backstage pass to one of my favourite games.
I'm in my mid-thirties, and Super Mario Bros 3 is one of my favourite Nintendo games over the years, but video games were more fun before the age of the internet, since it made people appreciate the secrets more.
Well narrated video. It's concise and it has the perfect pace.
fun videos here on your channel! Nice content, we'll be checking out more. Keep up the awesome work!
Didnt expect to see you here deeter
These games just keep on giving.
if you run into the "p" zone while jumping to collect cards at the end of each level, you will draw the same card every time
jesseowenastin While I agree this is about 99% of the time, there is still that 1% chance it isn't a Star. It's pretty rare though it seems.
Def works 99% of the time. It's that 1% that don't have the extra running room. I racked up those extra lives getting stars every time...
I don't remember if you have to have the running guage thing 100% full, but if you run and hit the bottom left corner of the box, it is supposed to give you the star every time.
If you miss the bottom left corner, you get a different card. I guess that's the 1% you're talking about.
yeah also like each amount like even if you weren’t going fast enough to get the star but every exact distance gets you certain results beside just being right under it with no speed that one seems to be completely random
Wayne Shaffer I agree. Bottom left corner every time
I feel like this game has not only been lying to me but begging to be rediscovered with all that you’ve shown me!
that question mark box on the left is setting my OCD off so damn bad
Same is there a cape feather rrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
This video deserves more views. Great work on the vid man
They found it back in the day for the whistle from the movie “The Wizard”
Holy fudge.. I wore out a copy of the strategy guide back in the day, memorized pretty much all the secrets and even what the houses give, but I didn't know about that world 1 secret p-wing. Nice!
Actually pwings and anchor were explained in Nintendo power issue 21 on page 36 in 1991
TCGCards sayer Actually you know no one gives a fat frogs ass!
Roddrick Carter then why'd you waste your time :) 😂lol
I GOT A BONER
TCGCards sayer you got way too much nintendo power knowledge!!
thanks for the info
This was really awesome! If finished the game so many times but I didn't know any of this other than the 5-1 secret and of course the 3 whistles.
There is a level in the Ice World (might have even been the one you did where you have to fly up with the turtle shell but can't remember for sure) where you start off in a small area with a pipe to get to the main level. Well with a P-Wing you can actually skip the entire level by flying over the wall in that very first small area which gets you to the end on the other side!
Yeah, there are a few levels like that. Unfortunately, that particular ice level is not :(
Ah okay yea I couldn't remember for sure if it was that one or not. I think there is a world 7 level like that as well and maybe a couple of others. I'm usually good at remembering all the little secrets but that one I just couldn't fully remember which level it was.
That's 6-6 ;)
It also works with the pyramid in world 2
if you're small you can actually bounce off the wall in a funny way and get up there without a p-wing
That works in 7-6 too 😉
I was 2-3 years old when I first played this game. I remember seeing several of these secrets throughout time. Somehow this was always my favorite Mari o game growing up as a child. 30 years later I'm still watching lol
"Thank you kind raccoon. Please tell me your name" lol
Still my favorite game ever. Nintendo Power made a specific magazine that was all MARIO 3 tips and walkthroughs. It was something you begged your buddy to borrow
You forgot a few things. To change the world hammer turtles that move around into a white boat with coins is this. finish a level with an even number on your timer, your coins are divisible by 11 and your tenth score the same number as your coins. breaking blocks makes your score go up by 10 so that is an easy way to get your score to be the same as your coins number. Next thing you forgot was the 99 lives trick on level 2 of world 1. get a tail and go to the second pipe that guys come out of. wait until there are 3 goombas next to the one that has wings. jump and float on them over and over again with more that come out of the pipe, and you can get 60+ lives before the timer runs out. just do the level again and you should have 99 lives the second time you do it. The last thing you didn't mention and maybe you didn't know, is something that works only when you can get a tanookie suit when you hit the block that has a tanookie suit that comes out of it. Start the level with a p-wing and when you get the tanookie suit you get to keep the p-wing, so you have the tanookie-wing... or p-tanookie... either way it is pretty cool to be a flying statue.
michael cole There is a 99 lives trick in 3-9 also. Carry a Koopa shell and use it to break a block that will have it ricochet between two cannons that spit Bullet Bills. Voilà!
Was going to mention the same thing. Always got to get the coin ship from 1-1.
Never knew how to get the N card match game consistently
when i was a kid I'd spend alot of time retrying levels and i someone got the coin ship, always wondered how, thanks
Nice video. I've known all this since my first ownership. Thought they were easy to figure out. Except turning the frozen choppers to coins. Now I know. Thanks.
I had no idea about the anchors, I got to play this game and find them xD
Very nice video I like how you went the details with everything keep up the great work!!
Dope video bro
Been playing this game since the release in late 80’s early 90’s and never had any idea about the anchor or the p wings in the blue mushrooms man. Thank you
The "Hammer Bros." in the Desert Land secret area that spit fire are actually called Fireball Bros.
metaltom2003, No really?
meltaltom2003 They are called just:
Fire Bros.
Sandra Woodward they're just called balls bros
Coach McGuirk bro, it's fireballs 😂
Awesome video, thanks for sharing, cheers! Getting extra lives is also a cool thing to do as well. Have a great day!
In world 3-7 you mention the coins in the clouds my brother and I referred to these hidden cloud bonus areas coin heaven.
SMB3 came out after the movie THE WIZARD was released. This game was featured in it. And the Flute in 1-3 was shown in the movie.
YOU ARE AN AMZING GENIUS ON DOING A VIDEO ON A GAME PROBABLY OLDER THAN YOU ARE!
Wow you can actually see Mario’s butt crack I never knew that
Great video! Might try this out again one day on the mini. Subscribed!
That big fish is called Big Berta
It's actually Boss Bass. Big Bertha is the one in the underwater levels with a small fish darting in and out of its mouth. Same sprite, though.
Sweet vid man. I can always appreciate when some one takes the time to learn and share all this info. Thanks.
If you w8 10 secs and fly in sky bonus areas there is an extra life
there's an extra life up there when you get to the sky area...like the moving one in world 1...
Been playing this game since April of 1991 (yup I remember the precise month) as a 10 yr old. It maintains its spot as my all time favorite game to this day. I play it nowadays via my daughter’s Nintendo Switch.
