After my second play session, I am further impressed by this game’s level design and music. In World 3, there is a water-based theme and the music fits perfectly to the map. Each respective level is loyal to the world map’s theme and thus it continues to actually feel as if the level you are in is indeed part of the world.
The characters in this game are as interesting and entertaining as ever. The enemies in each level also fit respectively to their environment, such as aquatic enemies in the water world or sand monsters in the desert level. What is more unique is that each world has it’s own boss, a child of King Koopa, and each has their own personality and way of fighting. In the other Mario games, bosses were repeated.
This is the kind of game that it is impossible to find anything that you feel should be changed. Excellent musical score, interesting enemies and bosses, exciting levels and world, and an overall fast paced feeling that lets new and experiences players alike have fun with this. The inclusion of a 2-player mode in which you are [technically] working together for the first time is also a major innovation. This game is definitely a game to look at when searching for inspiration on designing just about any other genre of game.

I managed to play up to the middle of World 2 on my first play session. Super Mario Brothers 3, in my opinion, is easily the best NES Mario there was. This game was one of the games I played through about a million times as a kid and even today I still enjoy it. Every level in this game is uniquely done so that no two levels are the same, yet they all fit into the environment of their respective world. Each level is also perfectly designed so that if you know the level already, you can swiftly fly through it. This gives gamers a sense of control over their pace, which makes the game more fun. The music in this game is amazing and will definitely get stuck in your head even after your done playing. Also, each world has its own music that sets the mood perfectly.
The items in Super Mario Brothers 3 are also one of its attributes that games this Mario game one of the best. There are stars, mushrooms, flowers, frog suits, hammer suits; and the coolest of all- Raccoon tail which gives you the ability to fly! Better yet, you can now store items found outside of the world map in a special storage and use them whenever you want.
