List of Super Mario Bros. 3 glitches: Difference between revisions

The player must use a Magic Wing before entering {{world-link|8|bowser3|World 8-Bowser's Castle (Super Mario Bros. 3)}}. After climbing the diagonal corridor protected by [[Roto-disc]]s, before descending, the player should collect the hidden 1-Up Mushroom. Then, the player should crouch and fly between the spent block and the ceiling, then stand up. The player will glide through the wall (This isn't necessary for the trick to work, but makes it easier to continue without losing the Magic Wing power-up). There are actually two separate Bowser rooms and this trick requires that the player makes their way to a specific one. The easier path to Bowser goes through a room with lava and Donut Lifts, but the trick cannot be performed if the player enters the door at the end of that path. The other path to Bowser goes through a room with lava and solid platforms. This is the one where the player should enter the door to Bowser's chamber. However, reaching the correct door / chamber without losing the Magic Wing can be difficult. Normally, reaching this room requires the player to pass a [[Thwomp]] that is made more-difficult because the Magic Wing slows the player's descent, causing the player to lose the power-up and the trick cannot be performed. There is a way to reach this room without encountering the Thwomp. The player must take the easier path to the room with Donut Lifts over lava. The must not enter the door to Bowser's chamber. Instead, they should crouch and fly between the statue and the ceiling and the player will be forced through the wall. This will lead to the other Bowser chamber. The player should not squeeze through the ceiling a second time, because the player will be stuck in the side of the screen until the time runs out.
