    Eve's Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)

    [January 19, 2007 07:10:33 PM]
    So I might have played SMB3 for more than an hour since my last entry. But it's so addicting...must...stop..playing. I've been reflecting on my last entry about this game as well as the game from a designer's point of view. I now know why there are three warp whistles: if you go through the game without them, it is rewarding, but very challenging. I had to use one of my warp whistles, and now im in world 7. What I like most about this game from a designer's stand point is the variety of it. There's giant land, small land, cloud land, water worlds, and everything in between compared to the first two Super Mario Bros. Games. For a designer of this game, it must have been extremely challenging for them to create as many varied levels at the beginning of this game revolution. Not to mention the loads of secrets and special effects and hidden areas that most people don't even know exist.

    I love the classics. Playing Super Mario Bros. 3 brings back so much nostalgia and good memories of times long gone. This game has the perfect mix of storyline, entertainment, levels, bosses, hidden secrets, and challenge to keep me intrigued for hours. I had to pry myself away after completing two worlds to write this entry. During this trip down memory lane, I have noticed a few things that I have not paid any attention to. For one, Mario's character in this game is much more fluid and adaptable. In the earlier versions of Super Mario Bros., Mario has very few movements. He has different positions for walking, running, and jumping, but little else. Mario's static character in the earlier game still made it fun and entertaining, but I enjoy seeing Mario as a more fluid character in this game. Not only can he run, walk, jump, he can fly, grow tails, become a statue, hid in a shoe, and become various animals by aid of items. These positions make Mario fun to watch and fun to use items on him, which aid in the levels anyway.

    Secondly, in this verision of the Super Mario Bros. series, the creators have put more hidden secrets and items in the game. Its practically common knowledge that you can gain 2 secret whistles in the first world, and at least 1 other one in the second world. These secret whistles allow you to warp to a higher world out of 9, and by the time you obtain these 3 items, you can be at the last world, ready to take on the final levels and the final boss. I have mixed opinions about these whistles. I think one would have been sufficient, allowing the player to only warp ahead a little bit, instead of the whole way. But by allowing these 3 whistles adds too much temptation to skip all the exciting levels in the later worlds and just beat the game (if your good enough). Back to more playing..
