Sunday is NES day, and I'm dedicating it entirely to seeing how far I can make it in SMB3 before I get bored with it
I make it to the part where you can slide down green hills on your butt, then I'm bored.
I'm not a platformer guy
Wow dude. At least get to Desert World aka World 2 before you get bored. Without a whistle, I can make it to the Angry Sun level before I get screwed out of all my surplus lives.
The Angry Sun is even more obnoxious than that hungry gigantic fish in World 3.
The sun dude is like the easiest thing in the game. I'll never get why or how people have a hard time with it.

Mr. Angry Sun used to scare the SHIT out of me back in the day. What a nerve-inducing variable, lmao.
These days I enjoy hopping over him and speedrunning that level, or taking him out in a variety of creative ways. SMB3 is just one of those games that feels like it's part of my DNA now.
I remember first playing Mario 3 on the exhibition kiosks at PowerFest 1990, after having seen it hyped to obscenity via The Wizard...glasses don't get much more rose-tinted than that.
But NWC nostalgia aside, Mario 3 was always a fantastic game experience. Not my favorite game on the NES, no, but certainly an example of a well-conceived, well-executed and very timely game.

Now I like getting there so I can kick his ass with a shell.

No doubt about that... SMB3 is me. SMB3 is us.
The sun is a hot giant ball of gas with a 10 million degrees core, and yet in the video game universe, you can buck it with a Koopa shell. What would have been funny if they made the level to instantly do a pallet swap to night stage when Mario snuffed the sun out! That would have likely scared the pants off some 8 year old playing...
And there is also the alternate gray pallet sun on a black sky backdrop in one of the stages in World 8. White dwarf, perhaps?

How about a bonus stage with multiple suns? At once? Ooooh I'm making myself crazy ovah heah.
I haven't read all the posts on here but I would like to say that I started playing SMB3 after many years of not playing it and it's still my second favorite Mario game. I'm still finding things I didn't know all those years ago. My #1 Mario game is SMB2 btw.

My brother got a coworker into retro games recently, sold him a Nintendo and some games and pointed him in the right direction for a ton of other classics that the coworker immediately bought. The guy was discussing his progress in SMB3 a couple days ago and said something like "yeah, it's going to suck having to do it all over again to get back there since, you know, the game doesn't save." My brother mentioned the Warp Whistles and it blew the guy's mind! He had never heard of them even when he was a kid playing the game. He had no idea they even existed. Crazy! I guess he never had the manual.
Part of me is in shock that someone dislikes what could possibility be the single greatest video game in existence, but the other part of wants to shake your hand for having the guts to admit it.

Fair enough. Its hard to proclaim 1 game as the best of all time but I would easily say SMB3 is the best of the 8-bit era. Everyone has their favorites though. I personally couldn't get into Ocarina of Time, a game lots of people consider to be the best ever.

Why you shouldn't use warp whistles.
Protip: If you're banging on the Door to Bowser's Castle and have a spare warp whistle, DO NOT USE IT!

20 minutes in, no deaths, just finished Castle #2.
Are you going for a no death run man?

Nope; I always ace that part. It was on the ship itself; misjudged a couple jumps
