After another round of Super Mario, I recognized the variety of enemies the player must become accustomed to in order to defeat each course. Each enemy has their own unique attacks that the player must overcome. As the gameplay grows more challenging, more enemies are presented making each course a kind of emergent gameplay as well as progressive since the player must find a successful way to make it through the ambush of enemies. Another aspect of the game making the gameplay more interesting is the puzzles that come up periodically in some levels that add another challenge and conflict to the game. So instead of just trying to get past the enemies to defeat the level, the player must also strategize to figure out how to progress in the game.

Playing Super Mario 3 on Nintendo Entertainment System really brings me back. With all the more advanced game systems I have been growing accustomed to, I found it to be refreshing to play an old classic. The simple game design strengthens the games familiarity with the player. The narrative throughout the game defines the objective as the player moves through each level. Keeping the character design simple and limited is not to the game's disadvantage. The simple recognizable design of Mario is something that should not be altered too much with each game advancement in order to keep the classic feel of the game series. I enjoyed how each level progresses and get slightly more and more difficult as the player moves closer to the end. The first level for instance is more of a trial for the player to get accustomed to the game. As the levels continues, more challenges are presented in a way to test the player's ability to use all of Mario's moves to the best of their ability to complete the level. With so many levels with a unique game design and challenge in each one, the game becomes a classic to play again and again.
