One of the most respected games in Nintendo's Mario Bros. series, Super Mario Bros. 3 introduced new moves and abilities to the tried-and-true sidescrolling platformer franchise. After the vastly different gameplay of Super Mario Bros. 2 (which was based on the Japanese Doki Doki Panic), the third game in the series gets rid of Mario's turnip-pulling abilities and replaces them with new feats like flying via the raccoon suit, and hammer throwing with the Hammer Bros. suit. The idea is once again to thwart Bowser's evil plans and battle your way across eight different themed worlds to win a kiss from the Princess.
