What is the best world of Super Mario 3?

lol at this alternate ending line

in fact, we understood vaguely that games came out first in japan

this was so embedded in the 90s kid psyche that in 8th grade my token pathological liar friend insisted he'd played starcraft 2 because he "had a friend in japan"

haha awesome

Level 4 by a mile

i never beat this. my brother and my best friend at the time were in a sort-of "arms race" to beat it first, and both of them reached the final level around the same time the night before.

so my brother is fighting Koopa and my sly friend is like "YO he keeps breaking those bricks, maybe if you jump down that hole they'll give you something to beat him with".

fuckin' scumbag.

playing aaaaaaaall the way through, 1-1 to 8-bowser, is one of the best ways to spend a morning/afternoon.

Oh yeah, I did this one in a 2-player game, it was incredible. And when you get to the nightmare that is World 8 you actually have a million lives and power ups to use.

At age 11 I got very far in this game and was on World 7 castle or something and my brother wrapped himself up in blankets and said "Look! I'm a thwomp trap!" and timber'd to the ground and the impact caused the system to reset and I may have cried about it
