I remember being on the waiting list to rent this game and asking my mother to call every hour to see if it came in yet. I was wanting to play it so bad. My father came home from the training exercises (military) and I told him that we were waiting for it but I didnāt think we were going to get it that day. He told me that it was unfortunate, but he got me something that he hoped would make me feel better. He opened his bag and gave me my own copy of SMB3. We played that game all day. That is one of my favorite memories as a kid.

I come back and watch this from time to time because not only is it incredibly well done and informative, but it somehow completely captures the spirit of being an excited child in the very late 80s/early 90s (which I also was).
I can't thank you enough enough for the incredible content, Norman.

Thereās something so perfect about the North American cover art, itās just pure confidence. The bright yellow background, the prominent title (with extra emphasis on the 3) and most importantly, that they not only use the original Japanese art, but they isolate it to just Mario himself. Everything about just screams āthis is the oneā

I still vividly remember it was in fall SMB3 came out in Japan. quarter of my classmate got it and within a week some defeated Bowser including me. Because there are a bunch of stages to explore, we never got bored. one day one of my friends told me about his discovery related to white platform. It fascinated me so much because of the idea you can go to the background of the game just pushing down on a white platform. felt like a rabbit hole or something but sadly enough you are brought back to the foreground reality eventually. I thought it was a glitch and goofed around with it and somehow out of curiosity tried how far I could go staying in the background and boom! I found out the 2nd whistle.

Some of my best childhood memories are going to visit my grandma and watching her absolutely kill at this game. She loved video games and had an NES, SNES, and Genesis. And she was GOOD! She'd always let me play if I wanted, but I just loved watching her go at it. She would talk out the strategies and secrets while she played and I ate it up. She was a living player's guide. This was in the early 90s and she was in her 70s! These consoles had such a universal appeal. The older I get the more the memories mean to me. Love you grandma, you were ahead of your time. <3

Super Mario Bros 3 was, is and always will be the greatest video game ever! At 48 yrs old I can look back with vivid memories of me and my younger sister sitting on the floor for hours playing this masterpiece. You would have to pause the game to go eat lunch, or even sleep and come back the next day. Kids today can't understand the concept of having to start the game from the beginning every single time. "What do you mean you couldn't save the game?!?" What a great time in history to be a kid! Thank you for a wonderful stroll down memory lane. You did a fantastic job on this documentary. It should be on TV! Also, loved your one on Super MarioKart. Great Job!
