Has anyone else got this game?
Already too many things have changed! the second enemy of the game, the fire-spitting pirahna plant, has been a normal one that goes up and down!(what, do they think today's gamers are too terrible at playing to get past a fire-breathing one? i cant see anyone having trouble with that!)
when you get a card at the end of the game, it says 'You got a panel'!
a PANEL!!!

and the bar at the bottom has been changed!

they REALLY shouldnt have messed with this game!

Ah, I remember playing the original version back on my NES. It still remains one of my favourite games of all time. Back then, they didn't have save systems, so I had to leave the console on until I got to the end. Heh, must have been on for weeks at a time.

I expect this remake will convince me to buy a Game Boy Player. Not a ridiculously overpriced GBA SP.

Do they save it after every level now?

It wouldn't surprise me although I did find Mario 3's save system slightly annoying. I've got the original (which I picked up for £8 including the 3 other Nes Mario's) so I don't care what they did to the new one! :-)


And another thing.
By putting it as number 4, they've cocked up the storyline for Mario Advance 2 (Super Mario World) because this Air Ship you fight in Mario 3 is the one you find in ruins on Mario World.

Nintendo you mongs! :-P

Can't you think of anyone other than the people who have played the original? I never even got a SNES so I never got to play those classic Mario game, I got this game last friday for something to ease the pain between now and christmas and I do find it challenging, but I have made it to the last world without no whistles (haven't even found one yet so I'm not that good) and I have flamethrowing blasters as well as rockets and yet more fire Pirahnas, it's quite tough for a first timer but I will definetly beat the game eventually coz I managed to get through the rest of the game feeling the same thing "this is too hard".

No disrespect to homosexuals intended, but they could have refrained themselves from ruining a classic with that gay "Whoo whoo, itsa me" voice of Mario.

But who am I to criticise, I only play the games - I don't make them....

i can, have done, and indeed will play the original....no need to go suggesting at me.

i was just pointing out what had been needlessly changed, i just think its wrong to do that the one of the (if not, THE) best selling and best games of all time.

Suggestion: if you want to play a game EXACTLY like the original, play the original.
