(Please excuse the fact that I named the "Hammer Bros." Hammer Throwing Turtles, and that I also named the "Hammer Bros. Suit" by its original name....I just changed names of enemies to make them easier to identify to someone who has never played this game before.) \==========================================================================/ | Thrashnet's POV | /==========================================================================\ This game has quality put into it. It is one of the last games ever to grace the NES system. It being a last generation title and all. Is a great game to own. I personally think that it shows all of the NES's capabilties, colors, graphics, and GAME PLAY. I really don't have much to say about this game. But it should not be passed over. \==========================================================================/ | Intro | |==========================================================================| | When I made this FAQ I used Super Mario All Stars for the SNES to | |get myself familiar with it. So if you find any problems with it please | |let me know. My E-Mail address is: TGZ6@YAHOO.COM. There are some | |variations in the SNES version of Super Mario Brothers 3. Check out the | |SNES VARIATION section for more info. And also if you have anyhting to | |give me that would make this FAQ better for you and everyone else. E-Mail| |me with the tip trick tactic etc. Tell me your name and I'll give you | |credit. | /==========================================================================\ \==========================================================================/ | The Story | |==========================================================================| | Long ago there was a kingdom that existed that was named the | |Mushroom Kingdom. Of this Kingdom there are 7 worlds. All of these | |worlds were plunged into a constant golden age. That had lasted for years| |and years. But in this Golden Age there existed just one evil minded boy.| |His name was Bowser. He was a boy who wanted some excitement in this | |peaceful and boring world. What happened when this boy growed up proves | |more than anything that it really takes only one person to really screw | |things up! He wanted some excitement and he got it. He used his 7 kids | |to conquer all of the worlds of the Mushroom Kingdom. And turn everything| |to chaos. At that time a starnge prophecy by even a stranger man said: | |"There will be a humble and simple man who will save your kingdom from | |chaos!" Many years passsed with all the signs that this "man" will appear| |but nothing happened. So then who is this man?!! There is only one | |answer: | |Mario | /==========================================================================\ \==========================================================================/ | Basic Moves | |==========================================================================| |A) Walk-Push the control pad to the right to walk right. Push it left to | |walk left. You might use this when you first enter an area and are | |unfamiliar with the terrian. But once you are familiar it is easier to | |RUN. | |B) Run-Push the control pad in whatever direction as explained above. But| |this time along with the Control Pad press B. | |C) Swan Jump-To execute this jump. Run as mentioned above until the Meter| |near the bottom of the screen hits the P mark at the end and will start to| |whistle. Press A now. | |D) Jump-Press A to jump. Tough huh! You can also run then jump giving | |you more heighth and length. Also if you press and hold down A you'll | |jump higher and farther. | |E) Diagnol Jump-Stand on the very edge of a visible block and jump up. | |F) Slide-Run then press down on the control pad to slide | |underneath low passages. You can also hit low "?" blocks with this move. | |G) Stomp-This move is Mario's trademark. Jump and then use the control | |pad while in the air to position yourself so you will land on an enemy | |below. Note: Some enemies like the Spiny can't be stomped. | |H) Tail Attack-To hit an enemy with your tail or to hit a "?" block. Just| |stand next to the block or enemy and press B. | |I) Smash-To hit an enemy that it standing on a block above you. Position | |yourself under that block and press A. You'll hit the block and destroy | |the enemy in the process. Note: This doesn't work with some blocks. | |J) Climbing-To climb a vine that you find along your way. Press and hold | |B when near it and press up on the control pad. | |K) Accelerator-By holding down the B button (like as if you were running) | |Mario can build up a lot of speed. And eventually take off and fly as | |Raccoon Mario (info in this Basic Moves section! On how to Take Off!) | |L) Super Jump-Stomp on an enemy and hold down the A button after you stomp| |him you'll be carried higher and farther than you would normally be. | |M) Fly-When your P-Meter is flashing and you hear a whistle. Jump then | |press B repeatedly. You'll take off and fly but only for a little while. | |You will eventually start to fall down. From flying. | |N) Float-To float press B repeatedly after you jump. You will wag your | |tail and you will slow your descent to the ground. | |O) Slide-Press Down on the Control Pad when on a slope you'll slide down | |feet-first and eliminate all enemies in your path. | |P) Kicker-Approach a stomped koopa from side while holding B to pick him | |up and carry him around. Press B to kick him again. | |Q) Swim-Rapidly press the A Button rapidly to swim. Also press the | |control pad in whatever direction you want to swim. Frog Mario can swim | |just by pressing the control pad alone. However, Frog Mario can swim fast| |if you hold down the A button. | |R) Pipe Entry-To enter pipes that are upside down. Postion yourself | |directly under them and press and hold up on the control pad then jump. | |To enter normal pipes (pipes that have the end towards the sky) press down| |its as simple as ABC. | |S) Door Entry-When postioned in front of a door press up to enter it. In | |Super Mario Brothers 3 for the NES. The doors look like small pillars of | |red light. Some doors are revealed by hitting "P" Switch Blocks. | /==========================================================================\ \==========================================================================/ | Advanced Moves | |==========================================================================| |A) Diagonal Jumping-Some blocks are in difficult-to-reach-places. | |Invisible blocks that are diagonal to a visible block. Can only be made | |to appear if you stand on the corner of the visible block. | |B) Slide Under-While running press diaganolly down and the way you are | |heading to slide underneath a narrow gap. | |C) Jump Around Corners-To get on top of a block from one that is directly | |below, stand on the corner of the lower block, jump up and bend your jump | |around so you can come out on top. | |D) Jet Coaster Jump-On slopes which have small ramps at the bottom you can| |slide down and jump at the last second on the ramp to make an extra long | |leap. | |E) Jump and Squat-To jump in a narrow passage run towards it and then at | |the last second press Down and then jump. You will jump into the passage.| |F) Fly Squatting-To fly squatting run until your meter builds all the way | |up and then press and hold down then start to fly you'll come flying | |squatting. | |G) Dash over Small Gaps-If you run and then run across some short gaps you| |will make it acros them safely. This can be safer than jumping. | |H) Free Fall Jump-When you're an overhang jump and then go over the edge | |of the overhang then press the control pad towards where you want to land | |you'll land on the ledge. | |I) Clearing Koopa-When you have a lot of blocks that need cleared. | |Sometimes a well-placed Koopa will do the trick. In any cases a kicked | |Koopa will clear out blocks quickly. | /==========================================================================\ \==========================================================================/ | Tips and Tricks | /==========================================================================| TRY TRY AGAIN: If you can't beat a Koopaling thier airship will | move across to a different place.

So make | timely use of your items. | ===========================================================================| Special Turtle Techniques: Release a turtle 1 block away from a | another one it won't harm you as it bounces back. Release a koopa as you | hold it next to a pipe or a block and it won't come bouncing back. Hold a | turtle in front of you as you can this will protect you from attacks. | ===========================================================================| Increased Chances: Increase your chances of getting a Star Card | everytime you get to the end of a stage. Go to the far left of the screen | and run and as soon as you get to the block containing the card jump up at | a 45 degree angle. | ===========================================================================| Short Runways: By running back and forth on a short runway you can | build up speed to lift off in a smaller area than normal. | ===========================================================================| Treasure Ship: Heres how to change a wandering Hammer Bros. into a | treasure ship. Collect a number of coins that is a multiple of 11. (A | multiple of 11 is: 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, etc.) Make the ten digits in | your score (the second number from the right match the multiple of 11.) | Stop the timer on an even number.

You must get | a hammer from a wandering hammer bros. And then use it to break the rock | right next to the path leading to the canoe once you get on the canoe you | can travel around the Ocean World and go to different islands that have | a dock on them and play bonus games there. | ===========================================================================| Stay Close: In most worlds if you stay right next to a cannon ball | launcher or a pipe with a piranha plant in it. They will stop going in and| out of the pipe or they will stop firing. But in World 4 it doesn't always| go that way. Huge piranha plants won't notice you and still go in and out.| ===========================================================================| Tanooki Spook: The Tanooki suit gives mario the power to change | into a statue for 5 seconds.

It is difficult but you will get a different thank you from | the king. Here is a list of the different Thank Yous. | FROG SUIT: Oh me, oh my! You've been transformed! Shall I change you back| with this wand? | TANOOKI SUIT: Thank you, kind raccoon. Please tell me your name. | HAMMER BROS. SUIT: Hey, you! How about lending me your clothes? No dice?!| What a drag. | ===========================================================================| 1-Up on the way down: Its possible to go back to earth from the Sky| and on the way in the tower you can collect a 1-up. Do this in World 5. | ===========================================================================| Get a 1-UP at the end: When Lakitu follows you to an end of a stage| in the 5TH World, wait until he has thrown 4 or more spinys then tag the | card at the goal.

Very| near the end there is a place where a lot of cannons fire at you. Jump on | one of the bullets to propel yourself on top of them. then just run to the| right. | ===========================================================================| Gray in the Face: If you time it right and press B right when you | go down a pipe you will go into it gray-colored. This only works when you | are Tanooki Mario. | ===========================================================================| Mole Mario?: In stages with green land. There is a tunnel at the | very bottom of the ground. Get a P-Wing use it on the stage. Fly into the| Darker green Tunnel using the P-Wing. You can fly aorund the stage as much| as you want.

This part shows you how to beat them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Basic Skills: All of the Koopalings except for Wendy & Lemmy have the same types of wands don't get hit by the beams they shoot. Also, you need to hit each Koopaling on the head 3 times to knock him out. Also, watch out after you stomp them they wil fly up high in the air. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- World 1 Larry Koopa: Run under neath him when he leaps and stomp him when he lands. Not much to this one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- World 2 Morton Koopa: He is the slowest however he is faster on the draw of his wand. Watch out for his wand. And take advantage of his being slow and rush him and keep on stomping him. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- World 3 Wendy O. Koopa: Probably the hardest koopaling yet! Wait until she throws one of her rings to jump on her head. She will throw out 3 of them. Watch the way she moves accross the floor she bounces so it is hard to tell when she is going to jump. And she jumps most of the time after her 2nd bop on her head. She is a real B**ch. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- World 4 Iggy Koopa: This guys my favorite...check out his hairdo!! Anyhow, watch for his speed. Although this guy is fast he shouldn't be too much trouble (thats also another reason why I like em.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- World 5 Roy Koopa: This guys burly. When he lands from a jump he will make his entire ship shake that means you can't move so time it so that when he is just about to land you 'll be in the air from a jump. Also watch out after you bopped him on da head once he will bounce around twice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- World 6 Lemmy Koopa: Watch out for this sideshow! Use the same principal as you did when you fought Wendy. After he makes on ball hit him on da head. Avoid the balls he creates. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- World 7 Ludwig Von Koopa: This guy combines all the PHYSICAL skills of all the Koopalings so far. Watch out when he jumps he makes he the entire airship shake, watch out for his speed, watch out for his fast draw, and watch out for his jumping skills. There is one exception to the airship- shaking jump when you hit him once he will hit the ground 3 times in very short hops so jump really high, after you hit him. This one shouldn't be to hard for you to handle if you beat all the others. (He can't create Wendy's rings or Lemmy's balls with his wand.) \==========================================================================/ | Bust Boom-Boom | /==========================================================================\ Allright first off Boom-Boom is the big turtle you meet at the end of all fortresses and some other levels in world 8. He can fly in level 8, and probably can in other worlds as well. And he can jump high as &$# in world 4. Anyway, to beat him jump on him after he removes his spikes. You need to hit him 3 times before killing him. What you can do to make this real easy is to jump on him once, then time your jump on him so he loses his spikes right when you land on him, and do the same for the last time. \==========================================================================/ | Break Bowser | /==========================================================================\ To beat Bowser position yourself on the row of bricks in the center of the screen. Avoid his fire that he breathes at you. He can breathe fire before and after he jumps. He can breathe fire downwards, anyway wait until he jumps to crush you. Wait until he starts to drop staright down and run or leap out from underneath him. And when he lands he will break out the bricks he landed on then go underneath the door in the room. And wait for him to jump on to you again this time wait until he lands on top of the door. Then go back to where he broke those bricks the first time and wait until he jumps then he will break out some more bricks. Repeat this until he drops down through the bricks and to his doom. I recommend breaking out the bricks in the center of this level so you'll have a straight shot to the bottom. \==========================================================================/ | The 3 Whistles | /==========================================================================\ There are 3 magic whistles in the game which can transport you to another World- World 9 "The Warp Zone". At this world you can go to any other world you wish...but you can only go up to certain levels if you have 1. Get all 3 then use on one the map and you'll be over at World 9 then use the other 2 whistles at World 9 to skip to the end of the game. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1st Whistle World 1: Grass Land Level: 1-3 Tips: Get on top of the white block you see in a cluster of other blocks towards the end of the stage. Hop on the white block kneel for 5 seconds you'll fall into the background then run to the exit. You'll go behind the exit wall and you'll end up in a Mushroom House that contains the 1st whistle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2nd Whistle World 1: Grass Land Level: World 1 Fortress Tips: Go all the way to the end of the first screen. You must be Racoon Mario...or if You're Big Mario hit the "?" block to get a Raccoon Leaf. Now hit the koopa there on the ledge then right all the way back to the door then start running back to the right and take off and fly up and then fly to your right when you're offscreen you'll go over the wall. Now run all the way to the right, when you can't move to the right anymore press Up you'll be in a room with a chest that contains the 2nd whistle. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3rd Whistle World 2: Koopahari Desert Level: Fire Spitting Turtles Tips: Get a Hammer from the "Hammer Throwing Turtles then use to break the rock on the map in the far upper right. Then go right and find the turtles on the map here. Use a star power-up on the map. And go and beat the turtles with your invincibilty. After you beat them a chest will appear run up to it and you will get the 3rd and final whistle! \==========================================================================/ | Unlimited 1-UP Techniques | |==========================================================================| |1st Technique: Oscillating Turtle Technique | |Stages: 3-4, and 3-9 | |Tips for 3-4: Hit and grab the turtles shell when you see two of them side| |by side and then head to your right until you see and upside down pipe and| |2 blocks underneath it, and 2 blocks on either side of the ground. Kick | |the turtle so it oscillates between the 2 blocks on the ground, after you | |head to the right to lure Lakitu and head back. Stand in the middle of | |the blocks below the pipe. The spinys will be hit for points and 1-ups. | |Tips for 3-9: When you get to 2 paths a hgiher one and a lower one clear | |out the bottom paths bricks. Then get a turtle shell and kick in between | |the bullet launchers the bullet launchers will launch bullets and the | |shell will hit them for points and eventually 1-ups. | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| |2nd Technique: Stomp Technique | |Stages: 1-2, and World 2 Fortress | |Tip for 1-2: Make sure you are Raccoon Mario before you enter this level | |at the beggining there are 2 pipes on and top of another, they will look | |like a "T" shape. Wait until 2 goombas come out of the upper pipe on the | |right side, hit 1 and press the A button at the same time you hit one. | |Then press A like crazy when you aree starting to descend to slow your | |descent. And do this over and over again. | |Tips for World 2 Fortress: Do the same here but wait until you meet 3 | |turtles on level ground. Use the same principal up above. | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------| |3rd Technique: Multiple 1-UP/Coin Stages | |Stages: 4-1, and World 7 Fortress | |Tip for 4-1: When you come to a waterfall between to vertical pipes. Fly | |up around the top pipe and go up into the water. And then go left and | |enter the pipe at the left end of this pool. Collect all the 1-ups here | |from the blocks but collect 1 at a time. Lose a life and do this again. | |Tips for World 7 Fortress: This one is in the fortress with all the blocks| |around the entrance screen. At this screen look for 2 solid blocks to the| |left of a block platform go underneath the "L" formation and hit the top | |block in the 4th row to the right of the 2 solid blocks you'll see a | |P-Switch, hit it and all the block will turn into coins drop down into | |them and collect as amny as you can you should have gained at least 2 | |extra lives. When you are at the very bottom floor of this screen go into| |the door at the far right. And enter this door you are inf front of now. | |You'll be back in the satrting room, do the process again. | /==========================================================================\ \==========================================================================/ | SNES VARIATION! | |==========================================================================| |INTRO: It is now well-known that there is a SNES cartridge out now called | |Super Mario All-Stars that has all 3 SMB games on it and a Japanese one | |called The Lost Levels. There are some differences between the 2 versions| |of Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES. And the Super Mario Bros 3 in Super | |Mario All-Stars.

(It is easier! And also I know that there is not a Hammer Bros. | |Suit in that Mushroom house in the NES version.) | |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #15: Instead of the neding pic of Princess, Mario, and Luigi | |fading in on SMAS the words "PUSH START" fade in instead. | |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #16: The kings of the Mushroom worlds are different in the NES | |version. | |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #17: Th creatures the kings are changed into are different in | |SMAS: Here is the complete list....... | |SMAS |NES | |WORLD 1 KING:TURTLE |WORLD 1 KING: DOG | |WORLD 2 KING:HOOPER (FROM SMB2) |WORLD 2 KING: SPIDER | |WORLD 3 KING:LAKITU |WORLD 3 KING: SPIKEY | |WORLD 4 KING:TYRRONASUR |WORLD 4 KING: DINOSAUR | |WORLD 5 KING:ALBATROSS (FROM SMB2) |WORLD 5 KING: VULTURE | |WORLD 6 KING:MONTY MOLE(SAME AS BELOW!) |WORLD 6 KING: SEAL | |WORLD 7 KING:YOSHI (FROM SUPER MARIO WORLD!) |WORLD 7 KING: PIRANHA PLANT| |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #18: There is a pic of Bowser on the World 7 letter from the | |princess in SMAS. | |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #19: The doorway in Bowser's Castle leading to the Princess's | |chamber in SMAS flashes differently than it does in SMB3 for the NES. | |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #20: When Bowser falls down to his doom it makes a different | |sound in SMAS. | |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #21: The room where you fight Bowser has a thinner row of bricks| |in SMAS. | |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #22: The kings of the worlds are also different in SMAS. | |-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- | |VARIATION #23: In world 4-2 in the 1-up room mentioned in the above | |section. You can get out only one 1-up at once here because if you hit a | |second block and another one appears the first 1-up will disappear.
