0 plays #Others

Super Mario Bros. 3 is a 1988 platform game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). It was released in Japan on October 23, 1988, in North America on February 12, 1990, and in Europe on August 29, 1991. It was developed by Nintendo Entertainment Analysis and Development, led by Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka.

Players control brothers Mario or Luigi, who must save Princess Toadstool and the rulers of seven different kingdoms from the villain, Bowser. As in previous Super Mario games, they defeat enemies by stomping on them or using items that bestow magical powers; they also have new abilities, including flight and sliding down slopes. Super Mario Bros. 3 introduced Super Mario staples such as Bowser's children (the Koopalings) and a world map to transition between levels.

Super Mario Bros. 3 was praised for its challenging gameplay. It is regarded as one of the greatest video games and the greatest title ever released on the platform. It is the third best-selling NES game, with more than 17 million copies sold worldwide. It inspired an animated television series, produced by DIC Entertainment. It was advertised during a final scene of the 1989 film The Wizard.
