25 Things I Know You Don't Know About Mario 3

[@ckellyedits]

The Chain Chomp has always amused me. Like, why 50? Who is ever organically going to wait that long to discover it? Would have been an awesome normal enemy effect if it was say 3 or 5 lunges.

[@MaxOakland]

I thought the same thing

[@AGrayPhantom]

Just some Easter egg a dev thought would be funny. It's an amazing attention to detail.

[@evilvix21]

Well that one I definitely found out by mistake being too nervous to cross the chain chomps as a child. It's very much like how to hammer bros from Mario 1 will start to move towards you if you wait long enough.

[@stevenbenson9976]

I learned this as a kid for sure. Can't remember why I waited probably talking to an adult or something

[@glargoyle]

It's weird, as a kid it felt like the chain chomps were breaking free after like 10 lunges. I must've been really hesitant to pass by those things if I was waiting so long so often!

Impressive list! I knew 10 of them, mostly stuff I've seen in speedruns or TASes, or while working on SMB3 videos. A few of things that blew my mind: - The Star kill boom boom I thought was gonna be obvious, but the star + block on the same frame got me! - The Fire Flower + Coin/Star block really blew my mind. Incredible interaction! - Bombs flashing using Mario's color made me really mad. How did I never notice this!!! These "x things you didn't know about this game" lists are always garbage, but I know a great speedrunner like you would actually deliver sick obscure knowledge!

[@andym5280]

Ooh Bismuth! Never thought I'd see you here! I have a question though, have any speed runners actually used any of these facts? Or are they generally too slow to implement into a run?

Way back when SMB3 came out, the cartridge I had gotten was defective (I think). If I killed Bowser with the hammer bro suit, the game would freeze when I entered the door. None of my friends that had the game had this issue and I’ve never heard of anyone else have the same problem.

[@jpetersongaming]

That is brutal

[@John_Lee_]

Na it's because you were using game genie

[@LuckyBacon]

Would the game show unescapable "PAUSE" as soon as the door opens?

[@John_Lee_]

@@LuckyBacon Yep that's the game genie bug. I forget what code it was specifically but whatever it was it overwrote the memory for the door open animation and permanently paused the game. If you held UP before it froze it would work.

[@LuckyBacon]

@John Lee iirc it was those 3-lines "start as (Powerup)" or "Always (Powerup)" would cause this. With how specific this softlock is, it really feels like it might have been an anti-piracy thing to be honest, haha!

[@LeetTron5000]

damn that chain chomp thing is awesome i really wish it did it after 5-10 tugs instead so it woulda been implemented a lot more.

[@Transference90]

I knew about the chain-chomp one! It happened to me once when I was little (like 6?). I was messing around the level taunting the chain-chomp when it broke free and killed me. Scared the heck out of me! I never did figure out what caused it so I've always been very leary of any chain-chomps in SMB3 since because I assumed it was a random thing that could happen at any moment.

[@Buglin_Burger7878]

That chain chomp one... is actually pretty common "hidden" knowledge.

[@j.lindback]

That was actually in the official strategy guide, but instead of 50 times it said "After 260 seconds", which I found to be incorrect. (But that was the only thing here I already knew, so well done!)

One trick I know about Mario 3 is using the whistle to go to repeat levels. It only works on worlds 5 and 6 (you have to start at 5 or 6, and you can only go to 5 or 6), but by repeating those two levels, you can get extra Tanooki and Hammer suits.

I played SMB 3 for the first time when I was only 3 years old. Many years later (crying in old), I knew about the Chain-Chomp breaking free, the 6-1 sky door, the pipe clip causing Mario to disappear in 3-9, and the Bob-omb flashing color being Mario/Luigi dependent, but that's about it. Nice job. :3

The softlock for killing Bowser with a star was the only one completely alien to me. With the others, even if I didn't know that specific glitch or feature, I understood the mechanics. I read about the sliding Hammer Bro suit before, but didn't know how to trick the game into using it. Despite this, I'm also going to take a few steps back and say you got me with about half of them, even if I did understand how the glitch works.

[@violetlight1548]

At 4:03 in the video, it shows World 5's map, but there seems to be a level that normally isn't there, leading to what looks like a "bypass" to go right to the Cloud part of World 5, skipping the tower (or "twisty castle) all together. I've never seen this before, and I've been playing Mario 3 since it came out. What's this secret, and why wasn't it on this list? Or is this because of a game hack?

[@hhhh82user]

i think its an addition to the mod he's using, which is most likely a speedrun mod. normally, to go between above ground and normal ground, you have to beat the tower, but in the mod you can just go inbetween

[@michaelfornes1479]

I knew 4. The 1-up special tune happens to me fairly often. The 6-1 sky door was in an old players guide and so was the chain chomp limit. I've also gotten the pipe clip where Mario disappears on occasion. I thought the game soft locked me, but the screen was still scrolling so I imagined he was just invisible and made it to the end.

[@SuperNickid]

@PixelGames: 3-9 pipe clip (that is not a soft lock after the timer time out, just wait 3 minutes and 30 seconds it just takes a really long time to come back down, this is because bellow the level is also above the level.) in the All-stars version you can also do the 3-9 pipe clip, but after a time out it will take 4 minutes and 30 seconds I might have a few seconds off since I don't remember the exact time it take in both case, to get back down, and plus if you scroll all the way to the left you will see a diffrence between does different version that you would not be able to know otherwise.

I think I knew that the Warp Zone was World 9, or at least I probably noticed it at some point. I knew about the Rocky Wrench airwalk - _I learned it from watching you, okay Dad?!!_

[@orisphera]

1:50 Another related fact: With something similar in 7-1, you can get to an area that shows up as something similar to the upper portion of the level with every second row removed, but actually is something else, and by hitting a noteblock there, you can trigger a glitch in the category of the most powerful glitches ever, which is known as ACE (or, more specifically, Total Control ACE, all of which are equally powerful; another ACE in SMB3 is by changing the inputs very quickly, but it's impossible in RTA, although not because of the D-pad restriction)

[@deebznutz100]

A few other things people don't generally know about Mario 3 is 1. Bowsers hit box is only in his head and fireballs. Small Mario or ducking will avoid damage even when he stomps... So long as he doesn't hit you with a fireball. 2. Whenever you hit a block with a mushroom in it and it seems to go in a random direction. The direction the mushroom initially travels in can be controlled. It depends on which half of the block you hit. The mushroom will go the opposite direction of what side the block you hit. If you hit the block on the left half the mushroom goes right, if you hit it on the right half it goes left. Note: not all mushrooms follow this rule. Some will always go right. Stars can also be effected by this.
