Fill this out and HURRY, it's for science

game- Super Mario Bros. 3 (NES)

enemy- the Little Goomba in the bouncing green sock from
Mario 3

boss- Bowser from Mario 3 (I thought the ''trick'' to
beating him was revelatory and that I was probably the first
person ever to figure it out in 1988)

power-up- Hammer Bros. Suit from Mario 3, a highly coveted
piece of equipment

music- ''Flower Garden'' from Yoshi's Island (the normal
level theme)

world/area- Giant Land from Mario 3, the one where things
are either normal or gigantic

side-game (none of the normal platformers)- Mario Kart 64

cameo appearance- as the villain from Donkey Kong Jr.

power-up- Tanuki Suit from SMB 3

game- Mario 3

enemy- Phanto (genuinely scary!)

boss- Mouser

power-up- Hammer Bros. Suit

music- All the music from world 3 (water world) in SMB3,
especially the map screen and first level. so soothing and
dreamy...

world/area- the night world in SMB2 (world 5?), and the mega
fortress in SMB3 world 8

side-game (none of the normal platformers)-

cameo appearance- can't think of any, sorry.

On a side note, has anyone noticed how the world 3 and 4 map
music from Mario 3 is almost melodically identical to the
fairy music in the Zelda games?

game- Super Mario Bros. 2 (original famicom disk version -
IE the version of lost levels with the extra bonus worlds &
original SMB graphics)

enemy- The mini-goomba paratroopers from smb3.

one). Transgender freak. Apparently nintendo have retconned
Birdo as a female in more recent games!

power-up- Frog suit from smb3. Underrated and a bit gash on
land. But used on a water level it pwns hard.

music- Underground music from SMB.

world/area- Giant Land from Mario 3, the one where things
are either normal or gigantic.

side-game (none of the normal platformers)- Warioware Smooth
Moves.

cameo appearance- as the umpire in original gameboy tennis.

I forgot to mention. If I'm allowed it, I'd count the best
power up as one of the countless SMB3 ones I devised using
the game genie. Seriously, by basing new codes around the
existing power up ones, I found some truly mad "power ups".
Most useful was a low gravity & invincible one. The mario
sprite glitched a lot, but it made exploring the
game/practicing very easy. Including one where mario even
looked more like sonic than mario!

I was just going to make a Mario survey, except mine was
going to be on whether or not you identify with Mario or
Luigi.

mario 3 is possibly the greatest game ever created.

Oh yeah I was going to reply to this but I forgot. Yeah that
game made me start the topic, I beat it the day before
yesterday for the first time in many years and marveled at
the game design. Rarely do I play NES games that transcend
their era and the nostalgia, but Mario 3 is all that and a
bag of chips.

hah. you too played mario 3 recently? really is my favourite
game.
i got home from a friends place at 12am the other night. and
wasnt tired, so put on super mario 3 on nes and played it to
the end WITH NO WARP WHISTLES : )

ceri jc, the frog suit may own in water, but theres
seriously only like 4 water levels in the game.
that dire dire docks tune, my bro made a song based on that,
or something.. would like to hear it again actually.. i
guess.

game- Super Mario Bro3

enemy- those fuzz balls in yoshis island that make you trip.
(those chanting tribal shyguys sing a pretty mad song too)

boss- bowser in super mario world

power-up- tanooki suit? the flying one that turns to stone.

music- too many to choose from. i'll just say the original
theme (because the fun times me and my friends used to have
years back when we'd sing that and mix it into the wallace
and gromit theme.)

world/area- giant land in super mario 3.. or ice world. i
used to hate theres but its an alright non gimmicky alright
world.

side-game- super mario kart (snes all the way)

cameo appearance- farmer in ocarina of time?

(long post.)
