Super Mario Bros. 3

[FamicomFreak]

Ah what a great game this is...I still remember the day I got it and me and my brothers and sisters gathered around to play it. It was such an amazing game for its day. This is truly one of the best games of all times!

It's a timeless classic.

You can't beat its presentation in The Wizard...This is still among my favorite games ever because it's got so much going on, from enemies to level themes. And there are always those old tricks you seem to forget about until you pop in the cart after not playing for a while and give it another go.

Yupppp. I love SMB3 so much that I own it several times over:

One copy is my childhood NES cart
One copy is a players choice re-release I bought at a yardsale around the N64 era
One copy is the Famicom original
One copy is a Famicom pirate that is quite humorous as in additon to the pirates removing the copywrite Nintendo info from the title, they also removed the Super Mario Bros. logo, leaving the only thing visible on the titlescreen being the big red 3. Ohhh boy! I'm playing THREE!
Once again as part of Super Mario All Stars on the SNES
And most recently on the Gameboy Advance as Super Mario Advance 4 Super Mario Bros. 3.
Playing SMB3 on the GBM is just so damn appealing for long subway rides.

Ohhh boy! I'm playing THREE!

That was unusually hilarious for some reason.

Everyone seems to know that SMB3 is a good game...somehow.

I find NES games at the oddest tables in the flea market.  So, there's like 6 loose NES carts on their table (between the used children's clothes and broken He-Man action figures) and they're priced at $3 a cart.  Oh, except for SMB3, that one is like $20. 

This has happened at so many different tables.  You'd swear these people have no idea what they're even selling.  But no matter the table, they always have SMB3 priced way more than the other games.  How do they know!?

I think because it's Mario they'll raise the price. I know a lot of people that never played the game but know who the Mario Brothers are. There was this time this old lady was selling SNES carts and she said "all Mario carts 10 dollars each but the rest are 5 dollars each" I could tell that she didn't know anything about it but since it was Mario it was more expensive. It's incredible how many people are familiar with the beloved plumber.

With how many lives does the original game start ?

I have 2 pirates: one starts with 5 lives, the other startrs with 4 lives !

[ericj]

The original NES game starts with 4; my pirate famicom cart starts with 4 also. Not sure about the original famicom game.

[MaxXimus]

I can check later tonight how many lives the official cart starts with when I get home later.

Super Mario 3 is probably one of my top fav Mario games. Every time I play it, it's like a new adventure. There is just soo much to do in it.

[FamicomFreak]

I think it's the same lives. I could check and let you know tomorrow but I am too lazy right now so I'll leave it up for maximus

[manuel]

Reading this I realized I still don't own the Famicom version of this game. I need to change this!

[MaxXimus]

I was just going to say that when my pirate SMB3 gets here, I could sell you my authentic copy for what ever the price of shipping is, but then I remembered you lived in Japan. Japan = expensive shipping.

Gasp!

How is this possible?
