Super Mario Bros. 3 - All Secrets & Easter Eggs

In this video, we're going to explore the secrets and easter eggs in Super Mario Bros. 3.
Explanations of the secrets:
Bowser's Secret Room
Use a P Wing to clip to the secret room as shown in the video. Once you are about to fight Bowser, fly to the top left corner of the screen until you a reach a second Bowser room. If you fly back to the previous room, Bowser will be almost unable to hurt you.
Treasure Ship
You must be in either Grass Land, Water Land, Sky Land or Ice Land and a Hammer Bro Enemy Course must be on the map. You must finish a stage with a Coin total ending in a multiple of 11 (zero doesn't count). The tens digit of your score must match the multiple of 11.
White Mushroom House
Collect a certain number of coins in a certain level. In this case, I had to collect 44 coins in World 3-8.
Chain Chomp Breaks Free:
Let the Chain Chomp pull on his chain 50 times or wait

[@Hero_of_Legend]

I knew that one. The chain breaks after exactly 50 times it pulls against it. The only one I didn't know about ( that wasn't a glitch to begin with ) is the 8 - 2 secret pipe by sinking through the quicksand.

Did you guys know this one? Use a P-Wing before entering a stage where you get a tanooki suit in an item block (there are very few). Ta-da, you will be P-Wing Tanooki!

[@terrance3218]

I did. It was some levels in World 5 and (I think) World 6 or 7.

[@VOAN]

*Terrance Turner* In world 4 it was at level 5, in world 5 it was at the very first fortress and the first level of the sky section. World 6 has it at level 3 and world 7 has it at the first fortress.

[@VOAN]

*DWN-019 Gemini Man* Not really, it's useless in underwater levels (and levels that are confine such as the fortresses) as you can't use your tail in those and the statue transformation only makes you sink even further.

[@AndrooUK]

[@argentpuck]

I knew all this stuff as a kid. Some of it I figured out for myself (the alternate routes in World 8, mostly), but the majority I learned from stuff like Nintendo Power and game hint books. I'm guessing you folks either learned it from the same or a friend told you about it. There was no way I'd've figured out stuff like White Mushroom Houses and Coin Ships on my own when I was 10.

[@clentistwoud]

Having the coin ship is simple. Finish the stage with your coins being a multiple of 11 and have your score ending in a multiple of 10 matching the number of your coins. For example: 22 coins and your score ending with 20. 55 coins and your score ending with 50.

[@hmcvirgo92]

François Jacques Actually, it’s slightly more complicated than that; 1. You must be in worlds 1, 3, 5, or 6, 2. You were right about the amount of coins being a multiple of 11 3. Ditto with the points 4. And most importantly, stop the timer at the end of the level on an even number. Although it is possible to stop it on an odd number, it’s easier with even because you’re guaranteed a multiple of 100 in the final score (50 points per second).

[@Animebryan2]

You have to finish a level with your coins on a multiple of 11 (22, 44, 77, etc.), then have the 10's digit (2nd number from the right) match those numbers. That will turn a wandering hammer bro on the world map into a treasure ship. It only works on worlds 1, 3, 5 & 6.

[@ismaelhenriquez007]

Animebryan2 Thank you for telling me

[@terrance3218]

My cousin found it by accident and we kept trying to duplicate it again. Super Mario Advance 4 made it easier to attain it.

[@merrickjacobs197]

And also for it to work, the Timer needs to be on an EVEN number when you clear the stage, otherwise the trick won't work. That is another key factor for the trick!

Super mario bros 3 was my first and only game for years.....i always told myself i knew everything about this game....time to put it to the test

So the glitched bowser was the one i never knew as a child. What i did find out though back then is that if you do that crouch jump on the last statue it will take you to bowsers room as well.

[@adamb89]

Also with Hammers you can kill Boos, Thwomps, and the little walking fire things that sometimes follow out of lamps/candles. With the Tanooki suit you can stomp those spinning flashy circle discs, but you have to transform into a statue in mid-air (down + B) so that you land on them while in statue form.

[@pkdotts]

[@chasepriest6059]

I had the captions on, and when it said COINS constantly, I'm starting to think you're enjoying those big circles of gold way too much...! XD JK that was awesome!! I loved the glitches and everything else... if only I were able to know these things if I were my young self!

[@pierremontparnasse]

When I was a kid, I would move my head in circles to that music. 3:28 Specially for the longer version when visiting the king for the first time. That’s how my neck got thick as fuck!

[@jevansturner]

Meeting the treasure ship requirements is easier when you understand these bits: 1) Breaking bricks gives you 10 points, so that's the easiest way to manipulate the tens digit of your score after you've collected a multiple of 11 coins. 2) Each second on the timer will give you 50 points. If you've already matched your coin multiple to the tens digit of your score make sure there is an even number on the timer when you tag the goal. Otherwise, make sure it will end up with the correct multiple when 50 points are added to your score. So a score of XXXXX30 and 88 coins would be fine if you tag the goal with the timer on an odd number, You'll end up with XXXXX80 and 88 coins. 3) The timer speed is variable. It slows significantly when Mario is running full speed. 4) Enemies that are still on the screen when you tag the goal will each give you a coin (even defeated enemies that haven't disappeared yet). If you already have a multiple of 11 coins and you are at the end of the stage, clear any enemies on the screen before tagging the goal.

I don't think it's the P-wing that makes him invincible. It going over to that room on the left and coming back. That's also why he's not breathing his fire.

Ducking is what makes you invulnerable to Bowser's stomp, whether you have a P-wing or not. If you're small, you can just run right under him. You can still get hit by his flaming breath though.

World 1 game 4 if you get all the coins you get the white hidden mushroom. Also I think the ship has something to do with ending with even numbers regardless of where you're located, I've gotten it in world one but it's very rare. Theres also a hidden mushroom on every world by getting all the coins, you will be able to tell midway when the game makes it obvious by giving you many hard coins to get. I played this while I was a child and it's one my favorite games of all time, I discovered these secrets throughout the years without help except by losing a bunch of times and getting the Super P.

The true secret to the treasure ship, if you use the anchor power-up when the treasure ship appeared, no matter how many times you died at the ship, the ship will never change back to be the hammer bros., allowing you to always come back to get as many coins as you like I think.

The Super Mario Bros 2 (LL) had its first secret in flagpole if u finish with coins divisible by 11 matched with ones digit of the timer.

And the list goes on.

Another good trick if you can time it right is in 2-1, jump off the brick guys, and eventually you'll get 8,000 points for kicking a turtle (troopa)! Provided you never touch the ground, it's a tough trick, but cool as hell for getting those many points for a kick!
