The upcoming Monday marks the 35th anniversary of one of the most iconic video games ever: Super Mario Bros. 3.

It was first released for the Nintendo Famicom (NES) in Japan on 23 October 1988, in North America on 12 February 1990 and in the PAL Region on 29 August 1991. The game has 8 levels, and introduces the Koopalings, who use their airships.

I got it for Christmas 1991, and have memories of still playing it a lot during February evenings in 1992. It wasn't until April 1992 we managed to beat it (together, as a group of friends).

The game appears in the 1989 movie The Wizard. While released in pre-digital days, Western video gamers knew everything about it even before it was first released in North America and the PAL Region.
