Super Mario Bros. 3 ROM Download for NES

It is a platform game released in 1988 for the Nintendo entertainment system Nintendo. The player takes control of either Mario or Luigi and goes on an adventurous journey to save Princess Toadstool from evil Bowser's clutches. It is listed as one of the greatest games of all time. 

There is lots of variety in the game that set Super Mario Bros. 3 apart from the other platformers. Even today, this game still feels fresh. 

The players encounter snapping turtles, skeletons, and mushroom-like Goombas. In the castles, the player comes across various Koopaling bosses and fights them. The level designs are unique as they do not stick to one particular style. There is a mixture of platform-jumping, swimming, forced scrolling, and switch-based puzzles. The best part is that every level has optional pipes or paths that lead to hoards of extra lives and shortcuts. There are some crazy secrets too. If the player bends down on a white slab, he/she blends with the background. 

This game was the first to adopt an overhead world containing two bosses. It's the first time that there is content outside of the levels, and they introduce world maps to the series.  

There are eight worlds, and each has its map consisting of bonus levels and secrets. In the vs. mode, Luigi and Mario fight for things in simultaneous multiplayer.
