mario 3 means a lot to me, from new power ups to its colorful backdrops, this is the true sequel to smb1. nobody brings it up but there's an emphasis on story that distinguishes it from other marios. bowser has kids? kings rule over the mushroom kingdom?? the whole game's a play???

my favorite powerups made their debut here, raccoon and tanooki. frog is a top 10 powerup too! what a wonderful game
