SMB3: Hidden Goal in World 4-5

[Josh]

Heheh, so I just cleaned a lot of my NES stuff, and gave SMB3 a try.  It's weird, the colors seems really bland to me...

Anyway, I quickly warped to World 8, and failed to get very far in it, then gave up.  It's hard!

[MaxXimus]

Well no kidding. Skipping to the boss world is a bit of a jump.

And I meant Warp Flutes. Those are sexy. I onnly know of the 2 in the first world. Are there any others?

Never heard of that before.
Nice! It's cool to see there are people still discovering stuff like that.

[Josh]

Alright, I just played SMB3 on Super Mario All-Stars for my SNES today, and I beat it!  It really isn't so hard after you know what to do, and especially if you can unlock all the locks in World 8 so that, even if you get a Game Over, you can just jump right back to the final castle.

I think that was the first time I beat that game.  ><

[manuel]

First time? 

That was about time! 

Congrats.

[MaxXimus]

I still havent beaten number 3. i got to the final boss without using flutes when i was way younger, but damn these games get harder as u get older.

haha you know I find it the opposite in a lot of cases. I think games get easier over time. Except for games that were just tough as nails to begin with, such as beating Contra or Super C with just the 3 lives.

I'm with Maxximus here.
There are games I beat easily when I was younger, but I find harder now. Getting old is hard...

[MaxXimus]

Haha. Yeah. Don't get me wrong though. The games are still a lot of fun!

The 3 warp whistles are:

1) At the back of the black stuff on world 1-3, use the white block near the exit to go back there.
2) World 1 Fortress, fly over the roof before the first door, go right and press up, that should take you there.
3) World 2, at the far right end of the map (near the castle), get the hammer from one of the hammer bros. and break the top rightmost rock on the map screen, go right and you'll face two fire bros and a mushroom house containing the last whistle.

And yeah, going from World 1 to World 8 is not a good idea mmkay, you want to stock up on items .

Just more proof of why Super Mario Bros. 3 is the greatest game of all time. I've played it so much and never knew of that hidden goal!

Wow & it work on the SNES Version

[NintendoNerds]

WOW...that's a pretty amazing trick. I never know about that one.
