I had 300 games to choose from but Super Mario 3 was the only game people wanted to play. Every friend that would come over to play NES would want to play Super Mario 3. This is the reason I waited so long to play Mario 3. Whenever a friend would come over we would usually play a game. When I got to college I took my NES collection with me. In high school I didn’t play much NES, I was too busy playing Final Fantasy VII, Resident Evil, Crash Bandicoot and Symphony of the Night on the Playstation. By the end of middle school I had close to 100 games, most of which were given to me for free. This is when I first starting collecting NES games. When I beat the game the Sony Playstation was just coming out and all of my friends were getting rid of their NES. We took turns playing stages and finally beat Bowser, I was probably 12 years old. It wasn’t until I took it to my friend Nathan’s one night years later that I finally beat the game. Me, my brother and my mom would play it every chance we got. I had completed barely more than 10% of the game, I couldn’t believe how big this game was.įor my birthday that year I got my very own copy of Mario 3 and played it for hours. I had just completed the first world in the game. Then Mario was transported to a desert world, world 2. After several attempts I beat the castle and what I thought was the entire game.
I spent the next day playing each stage until I finally reached the castle. The game surpassed all of my expectations. I had read and watched everything about the game so I knew what to expect when I finally played. Of course the hype was through the roof due to Nintendo Power and the movie The Wizard. I watched in awe as they took turns playing for an hour or so. I volunteered to let James and Jamie play before me since I knew after they left I would have the whole weekend to play. When I arrived at home I ran inside to play and noticed my aunt and my cousin Jamie and his friend James had come over for a visit. Of course it was at the store that was the farthest from our house. Luckily, one of the video stores, Video Daves, had the game in stock and my mom offered to drive me to pick it up. When the game was first released I called all 4 video stores in my town hoping to find a copy to rent. I have a reason, but before I get into the reason I want to take you back to my first experience playing the game. A lot of people have asked why I waited so long to play Super Mario 3. 3īy my calculation this is the 99th NES game I have completed since starting my journey in March of 2013. Interesting links related to Super Mario Bros. Widely considered to be the best NES game of all time. Short review: If you are reading this blog there is no way that you aren’t familiar with this game already.
