Terrible bait.

Copypasta = shitposting = rulebreaking = fuck off retard

Waiter, this pasta is stale.

>and if you fuck up and get hit ONCE, you lose them, FOREVER.
git gud you fucking millennial

No, it's shit because it has autoscrolling levels out the ass.

>>2711652
While it was annoying, it made sense that designers would do that to extend the playtime of the game without using more of the NES's limited memory.

>>2711620

Did you watch your first AVGN video before typing this out?

>>2711663
Did you?

I too hate this game.

When I was about nine, I had recently gotten a Nintendo Entertainment System from a garage sale down the road, the first gaming system I ever had. One game that I bought was Super Mario Brothers 3, the final chapter of the widely-acclaimed SMB trilogy, which like in the original Super Mario Brothers consisted of Mario/Luigi chasing after Princess Toadstool (whose name has since been bastardized to 'Peach'). Back on topic though; I popped in the game in my new NES and pressed Start. I started at World 1, of course, and began playing. During this, I got used to the controls, map, and all that jazz. After all, it IS supposed to be kinda like a tutorial level. So I had advanced to World 2, "Desert Land" and I was moving along rather smoothly. In the back of my mind, I knew that at some point the levels would start to get more difficult. I soon noticed a tile, one unlike the other tiles (Toad houses, numbered tiles, etc). It appeared to be some cross-hybrid of flowing diarrhea and sand, which caught my attention. I navigated my way to the tile, and hit the A button and was warped to what appeared to be a normal level; there even was a happy sunshine in the top left corner! As I side-scrolled my way through the level, the fucking sun decided to go apeshit and sodomize me repeatedly until I finally broke down in tears, throwing my controller at the ground screaming for my mom. That fucking bastard.

Epic mémé brother!

Laughing so hard at OP's rage, I could finish the game like twice a day when I was 8.

Super Mario Bros 2 USA > Super Mario Bros 2 > Super Mario Bros > Super Mario Bros 3
3 Is the only one I beat only like one-two times. Its boring as fuck.

>>2711620

OP got stuck in world 8 and is now crying about it. Git gud OP.

>REPLYING TO PASTA
STOP

How do autoscrolling levels use less memory? They're the same size and have a similar number of objects as non-autoscrolling levels. It makes no sense.

What he's saying is that they have no memory to add MORE levels, so they have to extend the playtime of the levels they DO have with autoscrollers. Learn some basic fucking reading comprehension, you goddamn retard.

>>2711620
I won't cite someone for an opinion, everyone feels however they want. I may disagree, or agree, but people feel however they want.

That being said, i just would like to ask, at one point did you realize you don't have a soul?

>>2711620
Finally, somebody comes out and says it.

Try a real platformer, Nintendorks!

I love this game. shut up

>>2711842
I like this custom box art.

>>2711850
Me too! Save it, it's all yours my friend :)

>>2711620

I've tried several times to enjoy this game but always end up frustrated. No clue why it gets so much praise. Annoying level design, repetitive music, and depressing color palette. And the save system is retarded. Gee I sure can't wait to replay the same 5 stages again.

>>2711620

>Mario 3 may have been interesting or fun at one time, but the game is a worthless piece of shit in today's day and age. It's horribly flawed and full of punch-in-the-dick moments, much more so than it has moments that are just fun to play.

You do know where you are right anon?

>>2711901

it's an old as fuck pasta you're replying to. it was posted on /v/ for years.

>>2711905
Lol *sigh* If only I had discovered 4chan earlier.

>>2711620
>There are some interesting power-ups in the game, such as Tanookie Mario, Hammer Mario, and Frog Mario. But guess what? You can get them on like 2 levels total

I should say I agree: it's sad that you get them only once or twice.
But wait, doesn't Super Mario Maker contain these power-ups?

>>2711934
Nope!

>>2711751
Did you?

>>2711620
>this is what generation Z kids believe
I played smb3 on christmas morning 1990, it was amazing then and still is today. Are you really saying that smb3 is too hard? Get gud fgt

Relax, OP. Mario 3 is just a theatre performance.

>>2711959
My entire childhood was a lie!

I hope these people saged.

>>2712014
Sage isn't a thing anymore, white boy.

>>2712019

It still works the same way. You just can't see if people are saging or not.

>>2712028
fake and gay, m00t confirmed it, sage doesnt work

>>2712035

>>2711749
>All these people replying to this pasta
There's a handful who recognize it, but lots of idiots here.

>>2711620
Game aged super well. It's a masterpiece. Git gud.

>>2712035
sage goes in all fields

>>2712491
Sage grows best in sandy acidic soil. You probably don't want to try growing it in alkaline clay fields.

>>2711643
You realize that "millennials" are the kids that were targeted by SMB3.

Like how I was 6 when it came out (I think). And I played the fuck out of that game.

I remember getting frog mario a lot.

Pretty shit power up, it's only good for the underwater levels, which were a pain in the ass. I hated the underwater levels.

No mention of that asshole sun who tries to get ya? What kind of SMB3 rant is this OP lol...

>>2711620

mediocre bait at best.

wanna rustle some random jimmies, go after shatterhand instead.

>>2711652
>>2711660
It's definitely my biggest criticism against SMB3 and it will forever be my most hated part of any platformer.

>>2713323
Why is Shatterhand so popular on /vr/ all of a sudden?

>>2712572

you're not a millennial. there's a lot of definitions of when it starts, but what makes the most sense would be anyone born from 93/94 to present day is a "millennial". you just have to look at how kids were raised in the 90's compared to the 00's and 10's.

Classical newfriend-filter.

I wonder how Bob Chipman would react though. Probably triggered as hell.

>>2713680
>there's a lot of definitions as to when it starts

That's true, but 93/94 is WAY past the mark. The disputed timeframe is whether it starts at 79 or 82.

Well, here's a clue as to how sociologists roughly have come to their estimation as to who is a millennial: If you were under 19 at the end of 2000, you're DEFINITELY one, if you were under 21 you MIGHT be one, and if you were 22 or older, you DEFINITELY AREN'T one.

Also, nobody born after 2000 is a millennial - we don't have a catchy hip term for those kids, but post-millennial is probably the catchall for them right now, though several years ago, calling millennials "Generation Y" and post-millennials "Generation Z" was the accepted nomenclature.

>>2713740
You're technically right but I can see >>2713680's point. There's a pretty big generational divide between people that were 8-10 years old at the beginning of the 90s and those that were 8-10 years old at the beginning of the 2000s.

Seriously, it's easy enough for old ass "sociologists" to look at data and sort through it... but being born in '88 and seeing how much different, worse and spoiled people even 5-6 years younger than me are is just downright disgusting.

>Princess Toadstool (whose name has since been bastardized to 'Peach').

The level design in this game is shit, even SMB1 had better levels.

It's a pity though since Mario controls perfectly in this one

>>2713793
shut upo

>>2713740
According to Wikipedia, it's anyone born between 1982 and 1999.

In other words, most people in this thread are millennials.

>>2713817
>According to Wikipedia

>>2713826
>not looking at who Wikipedia cites

>Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe wrote about the Millennials in Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 2069,[2] and they released an entire book devoted to them, titled Millennials Rising: The Next Great Generation.[3] Strauss and Howe are "widely credited with naming the Millennials" according to journalist Bruce Horovitz.[1] In 1987, they coined the term "around the time 1982-born children were entering preschool and the media were first identifying their prospective link to the millennial year 2000".[4] Strauss and Howe use 1982 as the Millennials' starting birth year and 2004 as the last birth year.[5]

I was fine with those stages but I don't agree with your claim. The game takes like four hours to finish on a casual playthrough that visits all stages. That is an ENORMOUS amount of time by the standards of action games on the NES. Autoscrolling was not needed to pad out such a long game.

>>2711620
>Oh, also you looked gay.

Kek'd a little.

>>2713793
>even SMB1 had better levels

SMB1 had amazing levels. They were perfectly tuned to the mechanics of the game, so that when you got gud, you could pretty much just run likes a motherfucker from beginning to end. Even if SMB3 had better controls (it doesn't), it still wouldn't be as satisfying to play, because so many of the stages force you to go at a slow pace. That's one of the reason the game is so fucking boring.

>>2715402
Holy shit, yes. Running non stop in Mario 1 felt good, and the momentum made it fun to do. Requires quick fingers and some memorization, but it's not too bad.

kek

Give this a read OP, it will change your mind

>>2715508
It's the author's autobiography

>>2715402
I overall agree with you, SMB had good levels, I wasn't trying to belittle SMB.

But SMB3 does in fact have better controls, I don't know how you can say that.
It's just the levels that are very mediocre

>>2715508

No.

People are acquiring taste and realizing how cool it is.

The intro is the raddest thing

You get the Tanookie suit in basically every level dude. I have a feeling you busted out your NES then raged the fuck out on mario.

>replying to underage trolling
Can you all just grow up?

Why the OP can't stop shitposting
