Release: 1988 Platform: NES It might not have been the most innovative or revolutionary entry in the Mario roster, but Super Mario Bros. 3 was certainly one of the best. About as close to flawless as 2D platforming can get, Super Mario Bros. 3 is at once addictive and deeply challenging. The game introduced a few new elements from the previous game, including the ability to float and fly using special items, as well as a more diverse range of levels and environments. Despite a few minor issues, such as the inability to save meaning the whole game had to be completed in one sitting, Super Mario Bros. 3 was an incredibly good game, as well as the ultimate test of even the most committed Mario fan's skill.
