    dlohnes's GameLog for Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)

    Thursday 21 February, 2008

    SUMMARY
    In Super Mario Brothers 3 the player controls Mario, an Italian plumber with a penchant for princess saving. The player takes Mario through eight different worlds in his quest to save Princess Peach from Bowser and his goombas.

    GAMEPLAY
    Like most of the other games in the Mario series, the story isn’t particularly
    overwhelming, but the platforming elements keep the game fun the whole time through. The player controls Mario across a number of levels in eight separate worlds. At the end of each world, Mario takes an airship to the next world and follows the letters left by Princess Peach. In short, the story isn’t good at all, but that’s excusable.
    All of the different characters in the game are given very unique and identifiable personality, regardless of the limitations of the hardware the game was made for, or the lack of individual narratives.
    I applaud Super Mario Brothers 3 for not having to be overly complex to keep the audience interested. The game is just difficult enough that every platform you face on your way to the princess is usually very fun. Though when you break it down there isn’t much to the Mario formula, the game is still very fun and interesting to play.
    One of my favorite aspects of the Mario series is the use of power-ups to aid in playing the game. Mario 3 was the first in the series to allow the player to save the power-ups he had collected through playing the game. This made for some very fun strategies in certain levels.
