Mario and Luigi must retrieve the Royal Magic Wands from Bowser's seven kids and return the kings to their true forms. 

The Controller in Super Mario Bros 3 NES

 

For the first player Mario we use control 1 and for the second player Luigi we use control 2. With the START button we start the game, while we are playing we pause the game, to continue with the game we press the START button again.

The SELECT button is used to move the cursor on the title screen and game over screen.

With the control pad Left and Right Mario can walk left and right, if we press the B button while moving left or right Mario will run. With the Pad Up controller Mario can enter a door; if we press the A button at the same time, Mario can jump out of the water; if we press the A button at the same time Mario can enter upside-down pipes. With the Pad Down controller Mario can squat (except when he's Frog Mario); Mario can get into some pipes; When the ground is tilted, Mario can slide down it.

With the A button Mario can: Jump: the more you press the A button, the higher Mario will jump; Swimming: in the water Mario can swim by repeatedly pressing the A button, if Mario has the Frog Suite, we can swim using the control pad, if we press the A button we will swim faster; Fly/Hover: After using the A Button to jump, Racoon Mario and Tanooki Mario can fly and hover for a limited time by pressing the A Button repeatedly; Super Jump: when Mario jumps on an enemy if we press the A button we will make a much higher jump.

With the B button Mario can: Accelerate: pressing the B button while walking Mario will accelerate, when Mario moves faster he can jump higher and longer, if we continue accelerating the Power Meter will increase, when it is at the top Mario's arms open , a whistle blows and the (P) will flash when this happens press the A button to fly.

Pick up a Shell: after we have jumped on a Koopa we can grab the Shell, stand in front of it and press the B button, to kick the Shell we release the B button; Wag your tail: Racoon Mario or Tanooki Mario can make an attack with the tail when we press the B button, with the tail we can break blocks and defeat some enemies.

Trow Fireballs: if we grab a Fire Flower we can launch fireballs by pressing the B button; Turn into a Statue: when we have the Tanooki Mario we can turn into a statue for a short period of time by pressing the control pad down + B button. When we are a statue we do not suffer damage.

How to Play Super Mario Bros 3 NES

 

We start the game by selecting the 1 Player Game or 2 Player Game mode, in both cases we will start in world 1 with a total of 5 lives, there are many ways to obtain extra lives that we will see throughout this guide. All the worlds have a general map divided into several scenes as well as mini-fortresses and a castle as well as other elements that we will see.

 

In each of the worlds we find a general map, this map contains the scenes that we will visit as we progress through the game. In each world we start in the Start Panel (a) and from there we move following the paths until we reach an Action Scene Panel (b) there we press the A button to enter the scene, in case we are defeated in the scene we return to the previously passed point or to the Start Panel.

 

Once a scene is over, the Action Scene Panel becomes a Clear Panel (c) and you can freely pass through this point, if it is in the 2 player Game and the scene is completed by Luigi, an L will appear.

 

Inside the world map we find a Spade Panel (d) this is a slot machine type mini game, the object of this mini game is to align the images, each time you press the A button the image will gradually stop, if you manage to complete it correctly an image you get extra lives.

 

Occasionally an N-Mark Spade Panel will appear on the map (e) this is a Memory Match mini game every time you complete a pair you will get that item, you will continue playing until you lose twice.

 

 

In all the maps we find at least one Mini-Fortress (f) these are guarded by Boom Boom, a touhg servant of Bowser, when you defeat him you get a magic ball and the Mini-Fortress collapses and the Locked Door (g) is unlocked .

 

Mario can obtain useful items in the Toad's House (h) for this we stand in front of a chest and press the B button in this way we obtain an item.

 

 

On the map we find the Hammer Brothers (i) these are bound to be hanging around, when we come across we enter a battle if we manage to defeat them we get an item.

 

 

The Fortress (j) is the end of the world, there we find the transformed king we must find the royal magic wand to return him to his original form.

 

In case of a Game Over, the option to choose between Continue and End appears on the screen, if you select Continue the game will start in the world where you left off, you will have all the items, all the Clear Panels will return to being Action Scene Panels although if you have destroyed the Mini-Fortress will remain destroyed; if you select End you return to world 1.
