Super Mario Bros 3 is one of Nintendo's most beloved games in their Super Mario series. However, did you know that it was originally going to include a 2 player mode, similar to New Super Mario Bros Wii? Or that the Tanooki suit was originally going to be a Centaur suit? Find out as we follow the journey of developers Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka!

NOTE: The music examples in this video sound completely messed up on certain speakers, especially phone speakers. I have no idea why that is - if you listen with headphones or from a laptop, the music sounds completely normal!

Thomas Game Docs - It does indeed sound odd, but in my NES emulator I have on PSP, I would intentionally disable random sound channels! I loved hearing my favourite NES tracks in a different way!

I think it's because some channels have inverted polarity, making them silent in mono-speaker devices. This might happen with certain emulators. Also, nice video, I'm subscribing.

Right after Tanooki Mario is mentioned, Raccoon Mario is shown. They are different forms. Tanooki Mario does everything Raccoon Mario does, plus one critical distinction: Tanooki can turn into an invincible immobile statue briefly.
@ThomasGameDocs
@ThomasGameDocs 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, that's true. My original version of the script made the distinction a little clearer, but when I read it to my brother he thought when I said Racoon Mario, I just didn't know that it was called a Tanooki Suit. Because of that, I kinda smushed them into one. In retrospect though, maybe I should've kept that distinction in the video. I was under a lot of time pressure when making this video, so there's a couple of things I would change if I could go back!

Super Mario Bros. 3 was actually available to play in the arcades here in the States during the summer of 1989 on Play-Choice 10 machines. The machines allowed you to select from one of 10 NES games to play, but most people simply selected SMB3 for obvious reasons. The drawback was that it had a timer, forcing you to drop in another quarter every 300 seconds (5 minutes.) Those machines ate up a lot of my quarters that summer, but boy was it worth it to have a half year head start on the game! And when it did finally arrive the next February, I was very lucky again to get it at launch, but that’s a story for another day.

It is a kid at a Big Y Supermarket in Massachusetts playing Mario 3 on the Playchoice-10, the Summer before it was released on NES. This video should have millions and millions of hits!

After having watched several of your videos, I must say I am very impressed. I watch tons and tons of Nintendo-focused KZbin channels that produce videos about things like cut content, history of Nintendo games, Easter eggs, glitches and so forth. And I love to scour wikis, news articles, interviews and the like for more information - just for my own enjoyment. And yet, I've watched several of your videos discussing things I have never come across. So many of the channels I like oftentimes repeat the same information. IMHO, you're doing exactly what you should be doing as a content creator on KZbin - finding things to share that no one has talked about before (or at least is hard to find other videos about) that's how you stand out and make a name for your channel. Better than some channels that simply wait till another uploads something new and then literally blatantly copies the info to release a new video of their own for views 😒 I've subscribed, and I hope to see your subscriber count grow! Keep up the great work.

@ThomasGameDocs 5 жыл бұрын
Thank you so much, that's so kind! My view on things is that it would just be boring, even if only for me, if I just talked about the same exact things as every other Nintendo / game dev focused channel. I mean, the video would just be pointless, in my view. And like you, I love it when I stumble across something super weird in an interview that I've never heard before! And while some of motivation is wanting my YT channel to be successful, for sure, a bigger part of it is just wanting to share that weird trivia with the world! Anyway, I'm rambling. Basically, your comment really flatters me and I feel honored that you feel that way about my videos. Thank you so much!

The Super Leaf is the regular power-up commonly found throughout the game, while the Tanooki Suit is a much rarer power-up. The difference between them is that the Tanooki Suit lets Mario (or Luigi) turn into a stone statue, whereas Raccoon Mario/Luigi has no such ability.

Great video, thank you for sharing! In Super Mario Bros. 3 for the NES, Racoon and Tanooki Mario can only fly for a short time. But did you know that if you have the P-Wing, you have a Racoon Suit with infinite flight power that you can use in one stage. If you are hit by an enemy before you finish the stage, you will lose the power. The P-Wing is a magical item that can be found in letters from the Princess when you beat certain castles and in some White Mushroom Houses. You can make the White Mushroom Houses appear by collecting the required number of coins in one stage in each World. Worlds 1, 3, 5, and 7 have hidden White Mushroom Houses which contain a P-Wing.

I really don't understand why people keep saying that The Wizard was nothing but a commercial for Mario 3. It was barely even in 5 minutes of the movie. Universal Studios and even The Power Glove got more screen time than Mario 3 did. 80% of the movie is taken up with a road trip between 3 kids. Video games are merely a side-element and Super Mario Bros 3 was unveiled as a preview of the game, yes, but it was only mentioned at the very end, and like I said, got 5 minutes of screen time at best. It was a last minute product placement during the climax of the movie, it wasn't the entire thing. Also, you're wrong about the development of Mario 2. Doki Doki Panic WAS originally developed as a Mario game. It was CHANGED mid-development to have the branding of a world's fair type event in Japan called the Yume Kojo reskinned onto this Mario game that was already in development. After the Yume Kojo event came and gone, Super Mario Bros 2 was released in the US as the original form that it was in before the Yume Kojo event and the Arabian themed mascots of the event were put into it, and then later that original game was also released in Japan later as Super Mario USA.

I wasn't giving my personal opinion on the movie, just documenting what some people thought of it. From the trailer, it looks pretty entertaining to me personally! Also, as for Mario 2/Doki Doki Panic - from what I've read, it WAS originally going to be a Mario game yes, but only very early on in development. The mechanic of picking up and throwing players was designed to be used in a Mario game, but Miyamoto felt that it wasn't very fun so the idea was put on hold. Then later, Fuji Television approached Nintendo suggesting the companies do a game based around Yume Kojo, and Nintendo decided to take another look at the dropped prototype, turning it into what eventually became Doki Doki Panic. If this is true, then by the time Kondo wrote the music, it was almost certainly in its Doki Doki Panic form. I haven't extensively researched the game's history or anything, but that's what I understand from a little reading here and there.

The Wizard did reveal to me and my brother where to find the the first whistle. They didn't show it exactly in the film, but it was enough that we were like "wtf he went out of the screen!". We bought Mario 3 just after it was released by picking up aluminum cans off the side of the road and recycling them.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="655">10:55</a> When Nintendo of America declined localizing The Lost Levels, they requested a new, more player-friendly Mario game in its stead. So the team in Japan started work on a prototype that emphasized vertical scrolling and picking up and stacking objects (plus two player co-op), but they decided to suspend development when they couldn't come up with ways to make it fun. They bought back the project when Fuji TV told them to make a game featuring the mascots for their Yume Kojo '87 event (hence the supertitle), so they went and made a game out of that prototype. So yes, it was originally meant to be a Mario game.

Yes, that's true, actually! By the time Kondo wrote the music, the game would've already become Doki Doki Panic, but I should probably have better explained the whole Mario into Doki Doki Panic into Mario process a little better.

I remember playing a Blues Brothers game in co-op mode. I can’t remember if it was in Blues Brothers or not but I’ve seen two different co-op styles. One where the further ahead player couldn’t progress if the player behind was too far behind as the screen wouldn’t scroll if it meant losing the behind player and another where the screen did scroll and the behind player had to try to catch up while continuing through the level but without seeing where they were going as the screen followed the leading player.

I believe the Lost Levels were sold as Mario Bros 2 in Japan. Which is pretty nuts when you think about it, considering how averse they became to releasing two games that were too similar. I mean that's still their go-to excuse for no new F-Zero games, that they don't know "anything new" they could do with it. We don't need anything new! We just want more F-Zero!

The Mario Bros 2 you are thinking of was adapted for the US because they thought the game that was released In Japan would be too hard for American audiences. So they adapted an entirely different game into a Mario game. Lost Levels was the original Mario 2. The one you’re thinking of was also mentioned in this video.

mode7 would have worked to make the camara zoom or out with player distance i also imagine they would make the second player a mode 7 object there is a smw co-op hack but is very bugged because they made luigi be in a different layer to give the vision of "different thing but still exist" but that made him bugged and he have buggy interactions with other objects and enemies because of it besides not being possible to ride yoshi

hmm... Yeah it makes sense to do it for camera zoom, but mode7 affects only maps, isn't it? Independant sprites for zoom would be done manually, and that means A LOT of different sprites. As for hack you talk about - they made the screen border solid, so players are forced to be relatively close, so mode7 isn't needed.

Nintendo did add a dedicated 2 player mode which saw you collecting stars in a very small stage that loops. You could also play this 2 player mode even if only one person owned the game thanks to DS Download Play and I guess...RAM optimization.

I went to a local rental store every day trying to grab one of the copies before someone else did, and it took like a month and the cashier finally feeling bad enough to hold on to it for me to snag it. I don't remember when we finally were able to buy it, but yeah. The hype was so real back then. I definitely saw The Wizard in theaters too and it definitely was the most effective ad.

I remember buying a sketchy multi game card in Turkey with 720 games. The first 24 were actually good games like SM64DS, Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver, a Mystery Dungeon game, Bowsers inside Story, etc. Among the first 24 was also a game called New Super Mario Bros 3. I didn't know what romhacks were at the time and was incredibly happy that I might be in possession of a prototype. It's a shame the card is dead because the romhack was actually pretty good.
