The Super Mario Bros. 3 Fanclub
 

Since Super Mario Bros. 3 was just rereleased on the GBA, I thought it would be a good time to bring back the Super Mario Brothers fanclub. One of the greatest games of all time can now be experienced by a new generation. Better yet, it has the possibility to add new levels over time. Even when Nintendo stops creating level e-cards after a certian time, you can bet someone will figure out how to hack the dot code system so that people can create and print their own levels. Basically this game has unlimited replay value! :D
Hopefully the game will sell well, and the world can enjoy one of the greatest classics in gaming history once again.

actually, there's a program to hack the levels in the rom of the original and all-stars version of SMB3 already. A very confusing utility but you do get the option of looking at the levels that never were on the original game. Those you of who remember the box it showed pictures of levels on the back that you never encountered in the game. They can be unlocked using this utility, or you could just change the levels for fun. SMB3 owns!

It was fine as it was. Fanboy sh*theads have fux0red things up, once again.

noooooo!!!! no more fanclubs :x

whatever. The term fanboy is degrading. I hate it. Can't someone love a cetain game series without having that word duct taped on their head?

Do you know the name of this program? It sounds interesting.

Hey, I'm a fanboy.... :P .

I like the idea of the dot codes, because the game basicaly never ends. Not sure I like the Item cards though. Theres one that gives you 1 of all the eight power up items (so you get eight items), and you can reuse the card over and over and over and over....

As for people being able to print their own codes... you'd have to have a REALLY REALLY good printer, because each of those dots are actually little tiny star shapes.

EDIT: Deathknight, the levels on the cards arn't unlocked, they're programed on to the cart using sprites and patterns already on the cart. They even have some new levels with the cards that have Super Mario World sprites and items.

Mario 3 is the Best Mario Bros Game. Period. No changes. Leave the Classic Alone.

I was worried when I heard about the e-reader support. I thought Nintendo had put the levels on the cart and was going to make us pay to get them, but they're not. Since it uses the game's sprites to make new levels, the possibilities are endless.
And for anyone who is worried about them messing with a classic, don't.
The scaned levels exist in a world that is seperated from the main game, so they can do what they want without messing with the original.
Personally I'm hoping they will sell the original Super Mario Bros levels in a pack. There's a good chance of it. The game is supposed to come with a level card, and that level is supposed to be 1-1 from Super Mario Bros.
God I love this. Why didn't they do it earlier? The fusion of all Mario games, using the best one as the core.

Wasn't referring to the E-reader thing. There are actually pictures on the original version on the box of SMB3 levels on the back of the box that never made it into the game yet they still have a special place on the original cartridge. I know there's a game genie code to get to one of them, I'll try to dig it up for you guys if you want. Anyone who's interested in the utility to hack the game I'll try to find the URL and post it.

I'm interested!!! :) :D

I only have played with the classic Mario Bros games on Nintendo and Super Nintendo.....they were great back then.

Super Mario Bros 3 is by far the greatest mario game ever made. I love world but truely 3 was a revolutionary game and thats why it was/is such an amazing game. I agree it was brillant the way it was originally made, but i actually like the idea of additional levels. More levels of Mario 3 = more fun.

I liked the mario allstars version better except for one level in the first world they changed the snow (nes) to just dirt (snes). That just annoyed me. They could have just changed the graphics of the snow like they did for every other level but no they had to make it dirt. That was just unnecessary.

As for the wizard, that movie is so great. One of my friends got it at a used movie store for only like a dollar. I was mad because it sells online for like 20+ dollars. O well at least i can watch his.
