Super Mario Bros. 3 is an action platformer developed and published by Nintendo for the NES on 1988-10-23, and later emulated on several other platforms. The game is the third Super Mario Bros. title and continues the growing Mario universe. In the game, Princess Peach has once again been kidnapped by Bowser, but this time his eight children will help prevent Mario from rescuing her.
My brother bought this game from a friend of his shortly after it came out in the States. I remember seeing the box cover and being very excited to play the game. When we finally got it home and played it, I was blown away at how good it was. The game is both a technical marvel and very well designed. I pored over the manual, reading all about the new enemies, suits, and fixated on the "new weapon" of world 8.

Box Art
The Japanese art shows Bowser, his children, and various enemies, all chasing Luigi, Toad, and Peach, and Mario in his raccoon suit. The ground uses the black and white tiles and the outer layout uses tiles as well. The typeface uses the jagged letters that appear in the game and later in Super Mario World. I love this art, but the cyan and orange tiles look awful.
The North American box ignores all of the original art except the smiling raccoon Mario, placed on a yellow field. The typeface is blue with a red shadow which looks great. The design is very similar to the North American Super Mario Bros. 2 box. Overall, I like it, but the Japanese art is more interesting.
