Dec 19, 2015I know most people say this is a more annoying remastered version of super mario bros 3 and their actually right.However the good thing about this game is that it hits you right in the childhood.Your memories of playing this game on your NES come back to you quickly.Overall this game still remains one of the best GBA games of today.

Mar 6, 2017Amazing game that is ageless, still very playable to this day. This game set the standard for all future Mario releases. All gamers must play this classic.

WaisyB.Sep 30, 2006I recently bought SMA4...at the start it was really fun and cool but when I reached the Ice World, it was too fricking hard! SMA4 is the best platforming game rent u can get.

MichaelR.Oct 17, 2003Mario Bros. 3 is definitely in the top tier of Super Mario games.
-
-
BCoolSep 26, 2003Can't give less than 10 for this game! it was THAT groundbreaking.
-
-
RyanT.Oct 26, 2003This game is "super" good. The only thing that annoys me is you gotta beat at least half the world to save it. Still... awesome. Go buy it now.
-

MattP.Dec 22, 2003Bar none the best game ever, the original I mean. I grew up playing Super Mario 3 for days at a time, always knowing where everything was, but being suprised none the less. I recently got it on my emulator and my fingers are as red as tomatoes. Get this game, now.

Nov 7, 2017Best Nes Mario titile on the go with improved graphics, you just can't go wrong with this one. The difficulty level can't let me give it better score.
-
Oct 16, 2020this is a all time classic but better with more power ups stages just the only problem is there is a slight screen crunch but play this one if you like plat formers
-
Jul 5, 2020The second I got this game in christmas 2003, I loved it. The game is so perfect and is the best out of the four.
-
Jun 29, 2020Excellent remake! The only downside is that they included the same Mario Bros. game as a bonus in each Super Mario Advance game.
-
Oct 8, 2020This game is...
JUST WHAT I NEEDED!
Jokes aside, this game is quite the joy to play. Super Mario Bros. 3 was a big hit, and this remake is a step further. -
Jan 21, 2021The best Mario game of all time. A great remake and it works amazingly on the GBA specifically the SP. I would definitely recommend this game to a Mario fan. Even if you've already played it.
-
Feb 18, 2021Fun game, Mario jump good. Honestly only reviewing as a personal 10/10 anchor for any other reviews I make. Mario do fun good jump yes, play game
-
Aug 27, 2023I definitely love Mario, and this is one of the best games in the franchise that will bring you fun, a little difficulty, and hours of entertainment if you really want to delve into everything in the game.
-
Aug 15, 2015The Game is a must buy for anyone who has a gameboy advance. Amazing levels, fine story, superb gameplay, Tons of good power ups. It's a masterpiece. This was a huge step forward for the Mario series. So buy the game
-
Jan 31, 2012If you liked the classic Mario platforming games and if you played the original, then theres no more words I can say to get you convinced.....unless you hate Mario , but thats very dumb idiotic .
-
Nov 1, 2013If you're looking for an awesome classic mario platformer for your GBA or even DS, this is it. Massive re playability, huge worlds and tons of unlockables and secrets.
-
Mar 11, 2018Apart from nostalgia, can anyone give a good reason as to why this is a good game in 2017/2018? I didn't think so.
-
CloudStrifeApr 15, 2005The Game is Perfect. Is much better tha SMB3 For nes (which I still have). It reminds me tha odgood imes.JUST perfect. Buy it at any costs!!!!! Nana sk if you dont like mario games why then are you buying them and play them? And the game doesn't deserve a 0. You suck at Game rating at all!!!

ElisaK.Dec 29, 2003This game is amazing.

AaronV.Jan 18, 2004This game is wicked sick!!!!!!!!!
-
-
Oct 15, 2013Well, it's Mario 3 with slightly better graphics on the GBA, whats not to love? It doesn't have much new content, but it is still a great port. Recommended!
-
MaxxOct 9, 2005This game dominates, except it pisses me off easily.
-
-
Mar 11, 2018This game may have been good when it came out, but it really isn't fun to play today. It's so simple and it's really outdated, playing this game almost feels like a chore.
-
AlexJul 8, 2006Too hard, took so long just to get through the first two worlds, and thats with the guide.

NanaskOct 16, 2003This is a game that wastes your time.

ThyzzJun 30, 2008Great remake of the original. Except for the fact that there is indeed no parallax scrolling in our backgrounds.
-
-
MarioMarioOct 7, 2006I think the graphics are worse than the SNES version. There is no parallax scrolling in the backgrounds!
-
-
SquirrelzNov 14, 2003Excellent! Bringing back the games of yesteryear rocks! I just wish they brought back more of the ORIGINAL games!
-
-
EdM.Oct 22, 2005The best returns - and in portable form, with new features and levels. Can't ask for anything more. Pick this up!
-
-
AndrewD.May 18, 2005Very nostalgic, very fun. The added voices though were a bit annoying.
-
-
RachelM.May 31, 2008Amazing game - the graphics are brill, and I could play it for hours and hours.

BrandonT.Oct 22, 2003Just got the game last nite and its great! it takes me back when i was a kid and playing this game! i was lucky enough to be in Japan at that time so i was able to play it on the famicom before it came here on the NES, believe me ..i was addicted to SMB3 all summer!
-
-
ClaudioOct 26, 2003I've been waiting so long for this! This is truly the best Mario game of them all. On a sidenote, it is interesting to see how Nintendo is releasing all the Mario AllStars games one after the other. What is next, Mario bros. bundled with the Lost Levels?
-
-
BillyV.Feb 16, 2008Alex your a turd if you need a guide to beat this game you should just quit on life because it certainly has quit on you.
-
-
JakeJ.Nov 15, 2003It's the best Mario game for GBA iv'e ever played!!!!!!!!
-
-
MXPXOct 23, 2003Man i wish there was an 11.. hehe.. THIS GAME ROX MY SOX! the only thing that is kinda annoying, is that when u die and get mushrooms, mario talks.. and thats not in the original.. but its a great game..

NolanB.Dec 5, 2003dude, I got this game for my birthday and IT ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!! We used to have the normal nintendo with smb3 but our mom took it away *literally said it was a piece of crap and threw it in the garbage* after that my life ended UNTIL I GOT IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY!!!! i was re-united with reality. for any of you who hate this game.... YOU'VE BETRAYED ME!!!!!!!!!! ahem...........

AnnonymousLuigiFanAug 26, 2007I have no words to descibe the pure awesomeness of this game. The greatest game of all time, polished up and made into a handheld.

-
May 20, 2018Uno de los mejores plataformas de la saga mario y de la historia, la perfección de la formula de plataformas
-
Apr 5, 2023Super Mario Bros 3 is one of the most fun, addictive and greatest platform games ever made. I can't recommend this game enough.
-
May 8, 2020Having nostalgic memories doesn't mean this game is good. The controls are clunky, the bosses, besides Wendy, are boring and repetitive, there are some awful level designs, and some of the power ups are useless.
-

Играл именно в эту версию. Очень атмосферная и веселая. Так и не прошёл, но практически дошёл до конца -
Mar 12, 2018This is one of my most favorite mario games I'd ever played. It has all the elements of a good classic mario game. The level design is awesome as always and it is hard enough to get you frustrated but not discouraged. I somehow keep going back to this great game. I'd give it a 10.0 overall.
-
Nov 1, 2018Сборник не плох. Но впихивать каждый раз Mario Bros- это не хорошо. Но самая главная игра Super Mario Bros 3 и если ты не в это игру то стоит попробовать поиграть. Игра внесла много в серию: карту, перо вместо цветка.

Jun 9, 2023Una versión mejoradísima del primer Super Mario Bros (el 2 es otra cosa) que peca de una dificultad demasiado asalvajada a partir de la mitad del juego. No me cabe en la cabeza que encima en su época no existiese modo de guardar partida y solo pudieras llegar al final del juego sin apagar la consola.
-
Aug 13, 2021Está bien, sigue siendo simple, pero no supera al uno, se puede hacer un poco más tedioso.
-
Apr 4, 2021It's so fun and inventive. It's pretty much a classic now and I remember how creative this classic could get. So wildly good.

Aug 31, 2021A must have on the GBA and an amazing game all round with mechanics, level styles, and moderate difficulty of the game itself. I enjoyed playing this game as a kid and enjoy it just as much being older now!
-
Nov 4, 2022It does what it says on the tin - it's a faithful remake of the original Super Mario Bros. 3, and give it credit, it nails it. 90 expansive levels, unique world layouts that allows you to choose your own adventure, and loads and loads of secrets - if you have your GBA, grab this when you can, you won't regret it.
-
Apr 1, 2022It was a great game and a good remake. I dreamed about the game before I got it like I used to not pay attention in class because of the game. It was worth the hype. I just wish that the e reader cards didn't cost money but I'm glad that it was included in the wii u version.
-
Mar 25, 2022I'm a fan of the super mario bros 2D games,and this game is a BLAST!!! It is a large improvment over the original game,lost levels and super mario brothers 2! this game's introduced some of the most iconic Mario 2D mechanics
-
Jan 22, 2023I liked it back then I don't know about now I'm over these rubbish looking graphics from the 90s now we're in 2023 and I'm not so into these graphics much anymore but for that time I was a fan not so anymore
-

May 6, 2023Another fun platformer but it's more linear format and comparative lack of variety makes it feel like a step backward from the previous two instalments.
-
Feb 6, 2023One of the best Mario games ever, I think there is not much debate here. A pity that they do not maintain the level
-
May 31, 2023I have so much fun every time I play this game. Everything about it, from the story to the gameplay, is just amazing. I enjoyed every moment while playing this game

But amidst all this dispensable extra substance is the core mechanic of Mario; the one thing that holds true to the series, and one thing that ensures Mario is leaps and bounds ahead of its platforming peers - inertia. The faster you run, the higher you jump. It's a brilliantly simple concept that works perfectly.
-
Pocket GamesThe bottom line is that this is Mario hop-n-bop action at its finest, with a goodly amount of minigames thrown into the mix for good measure... As great as it ever was. [Fall 2003, p.38]

netjakThey just dont make games like this any more, and this particular game really shows us how far weve come and that you dont need flashy graphics and surrond sound to have a mind-blowing game.
