"Super Mario Brothers 3 is better than the other ones, but still the score is lower. Strange huh? Well, it's not that legendary, that's the answer."

My review to one of the most selling games in time: Super Mario Brothers 3.

I guess most of you played this one before, so I don't go too deep in the details. This game is to Nes-system, and is the third in the serie to the Nes. The game is made by Nintendo, 1991, 6 years after the first one in the serie. And what is the results then? Well, if ya check things out downward you can see by yourself.( Guys too lazy to read all, check out the last catagory, Overall. ) I guess I don't need to tell ya tha story, (it's that the princess has been kidnapped again,a nd guess who's gonna get his ass out again to save her) so let's get started:

(Remember that all stuff is just compared to other games to other consoles)

Grafic: Grafic is much better than the first game(SMB 1) and it is also better than in number 2. Yeah, now grafic starts to look like something. Characters are much clearer to see, and details can be seen. Something new is that you have a map moving at, instead of just a stage. And the grafic at the map is just done good enough needed, but grafic to be at the old Nes, is good. But I've seen even better grafic to other Nes-games.( Check Legend of Mana to Playstation 2)

Score Grafic: 8.0/10

Music/Sound: Yeah!! Here the old SMB-theme bumps out from the tv again! And that's nice, plus a few other good music songs. Music and sound is much better than the other two games, and to be on the Nes, it is much better than the most games.

Score Music/Sound: 8.2/10

Control: As always, Super Mario Games have superb control. This game is absolutely not an exception. In fact, control to this game is even better than the others. ( Only one game got better control than this one to Nes; Shadows of the Ninja). Move Mario as you want, with many kind of Characters. A few more powers makes you a bit cooler, like the feather and the hammer. Thanx to those, you get another weopons to use, wich is always funny. Control is Awesome. Even if compared to other consoles.

Score control: 9.4/10

Challenge: This game is maybe the biggest platform-game I know without Save/Password function. There are 8 levels, each with at least 7 stages and a boss at the last stage. You have to beat all Koopas kids before you can face the turtle with needles on the back. And at all stages, secrets can be found. Try to beat the game without the magical flute(that one makes you warp) and you will face a long journey. Yeah, the game is really big, and without special items that will be needed at the last levels, you're out.

Score challenge: 8.7/10

Funniness: To be a Nes-game,this one is enjoying. It's so big, so there's always something new to check out. All enemies and bosses makes it more funny, and all characters you can be, makes it more funny. You can also play a bonus-game at the map, that makes it more funny.

Score funniness: 8.5/10

Overall: This is the best SMB game to Nes, and one of the best SMB games all consoles.(Super Mario 64 sucks, but Mario Party could be fun.) Still, it's not that classic as the first one, so the score is lower. But even if it is better than the first one, it scores lower. Why? Well, I guess it's cuz the other one is legendary, this game is not.But overall, this game is better and very good to be at Nes. Buy it if it's cheap(about 10 dollars maybe).

Score overall: 8.8/10

TOTAL SCORE(A score on a line 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) : 9/10

(Remember that it is just compared to Nes-games, not Soul Calibur to Dreamcast.)

Last wicked line: Super Mario Brothers 3 is better than the other ones, but still the score is lower. Strange huh?
