david_a Posted December 7, 2003 Tanooki! Apparently it's based on a Japanese mythological being. I had no idea about that before I googled to make sure AndrewB had spelled it wrong:) 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted December 7, 2003 Jeez, I can't believe I screwed up the spelling on that one. I had even checked the spelling on it a minute before I posted it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Disorder Posted December 7, 2003 The one with the fireballs. Or was that not possible in SMB3? 0 Share this post Link to post
Lizardcommando Posted December 7, 2003 The Hammer suit kicks ass. What's the Rock Smasher again? It's been a while since I played this game. 0 Share this post Link to post

Basically a hammer you can use on the map screen to clear out certain rocks. Behind some particular rocks you can find secret areas on the map, like the hidden warp whistle in world 2 or the mini-game islands in world 3. 0 Share this post Link to post
Naked Snake Posted December 7, 2003 I didn't really play SMB3 all that much. 0 Share this post Link to post

Lord FlatHead Posted December 7, 2003 Fireballs were probably the most useful item , though the Hammer suit was so rare it's got to be the coolest one in the game =) 0 Share this post Link to post
DooMBoy Posted December 7, 2003 Jugem's Cloud (I believe that was the name) I always save these whenever I happen to get one, they are useful for particularly difficult levels (like that one level in Pipe World, or the final fortress in Dark World). 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted December 7, 2003 Agreed. I generally use it on the World 8 fortress. However, I've got an instinct for that drive-you-crazy 7-10 maze map. 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted December 7, 2003 The whistle wins out. If you find all the secret whistles in world 1 and then use them in the proper order, you can get almost to the end of the game right away. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted December 7, 2003 Awesome! Say, could you tell me how to get to the secret levels in Doom 2? I've always wanted to know. 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted December 8, 2003 I liked the Boot Suit or whatever it's called. I remember laughing the first time I saw Mario bouncing around in it :) However, nothing beats the Fire Flower for weaponry IMO. It's a classic. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ubik Posted December 8, 2003 Kuribo's Shoe is the BEST. POWERUP. EVER. It needs to be retroactively inserted in every game ever made. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scuba Steve Posted December 8, 2003 Kuribo's Shoe is the only correct answer here. 0 Share this post Link to post
timmie Posted December 8, 2003 I agree. Shoe = teh win! Anybody here seen that SMB3 done in 11 minutes video? Amazing stuff! 0 Share this post Link to post

Also, would you happen to know where I can find a site that has screenshots of SMB3? I've always wanted to see some of those. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted December 8, 2003 I think the movies with a guy that flawlessly runs through the entire game is cooler than the 11 minute speedrun where the player just warps through. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted December 9, 2003 I played like 3 levels of SMB3 before getting bored. 0 Share this post Link to post
Scuba Steve Posted December 9, 2003 That video bothers me. He uses the warp whistle to go to the warp screen then uses the other to go to world eight. I may not have played Mario 3 in a while, but I'm almost positive that when I tried this as a kid, it simply warps you down to the next level of warp zones (5,6,7) not straight to 8. 0 Share this post Link to post

I myself tried this, it indeed works, it takes you to the 8th world pipe. :D Though what made me wonder is sometimes the height Mario got seemed inmario, and the hand dee-lees in world 8 never pulled them under, usually this always happens for me I can't clearly recall a time in which I didn't get pulled down. Though I just guess its luck. Or the version. Or a really good breakfast. :D 0 Share this post Link to post
Kinsie Posted December 9, 2003 The hand things are random. And Kuribo's Shoe is indeed the win. 0 Share this post Link to post
