Hidden amongst them is a P-switch that turns all those hundreds of gold bricks into coins! You can run and jump through them for lots of 1-ups! Even better, the room resets when you leave and re-enter it! So you can rack up tons of extra lives by doing this over and over. The main point of interest in this level is the huge room made up almost entirely of gold bricks. Unfortunately, once you clear this level, you’ll never see it again for the rest of the game.Īnd last but not least is the first fortress in World 7. Not only that, but you can stomp on Spinys and piranha plants to defeat them! How cool is that? Kuribo’s Shoe makes this level unique and lots of fun. Once you do that, you’re free to hop right into the shoe and get stomping! With the shoe, you can jump higher and safely walk across Munchers.

Some Goombas in this level will be wearing the powerful shoe, and you have to hit the blocks they’re standing on from underneath to defeat the Goombas. It is the only level in the game that has a rare power-up known as Kuribo’s Shoe. This was the type of level that may have been confusing at first, but it’s very rewarding when you figure it out. A lone Koopa Troopa must be stomped on and his shell flown up through a certain hole in the ceiling to clear a path to the ending. There is a small room that has renewable power-ups, and it’s there for a reason: You need to be raccoon Mario (or have other means of flight) to finish the level. But still, the numerous Buster Beetles can be tricky to deal with in here.

Even if you miss, they keep sliding until they hit something and break. Those ice blocks are ultra cool though, in more ways than one, as you can pick them up and throw them at enemies. Located midway through the ice world, this level seems to be an endless loop of Buster Beetles and ice blocks initially. Just a note, though: Even though SMB3 was first a NES game, the videos included here are from the SNES version as seen in Super Mario All-Stars.įirst up is World 6-5. In particular, I’m revisiting three of my favorite and most memorable levels. Today, I’m taking a look back at my favorite video game of all-time, Super Mario Bros.
