Super Mario Bros 3, for the time it came out, was unlike anything ever seen on the original Nintendo. Sure you had some pretty graphically great games, but nothing quite looked as clear, as colorful and as artistic as Super Mario Bros 3. It really is a sight to behold. It really is a incredibly fleshed out version of the original, we have the mushroom kingdom but in a way far unlike what we've seen before. I would say of any game in the series, Mario 3 is probably the biggest step up from the its predecessor. The step up in tone of the music, the step up graphically, the absolute perfect control... Super Mario Bros. 3 is just about as close to perfect as a game can get.
