This game was the sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', which went in a different direction with its gameplay than ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' Nintendo decided to return to a more traditional platforming style for this game.
'''Super Mario Bros. 3''' has been considered one of the greatest games of all time. Its complexity and challenging levels made it a huge success. In addition to new power ups, it featured new moves, items, and enemies.  


[[Bowser]] had kidnapped [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and transformed the kings of each world into an animal. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] (if you play with a second player) fight their way through eight worlds. At the end of each, they fight one of the [[Koopalings]] until you finally get to Bowser. Each world had a different theme and different enemies to go with it.
