About this game

Super Mario Bros. 3 sends Mario and Luigi across eight worlds after Bowser and his children take the kings’ magic wands. Its platforming stages offer different ways to move and fight: Raccoon Mario can fly, Frog Mario improves swimming, Fire Mario throws fireballs, and Tanooki Mario can become a statue. Secrets and two-player options give players more to discover as they work towards the airship encounters.

Archive notes

Main image uses the user-supplied transparent NES shell with this exact regional label, placed at uniform scale. This is a standardized display composite, not a physical-cartridge photograph or a print-ready label. The catalog reference and evidence type are described in the game and region notes; the collector reference separates USA catalog IDs from the actual visible printing. This display is not manufacturer authentication. Gameplay reference: Nintendo UK — https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/Games/NES/Super-Mario-Bros-3-279558.html The public display uses the archived USA-1 flat label on the user-supplied NES shell. The earlier photograph-derived display is retained in the archive.
