Top 10 Enemies in Super Mario Bros 3!

[@krisfrederick5001]

I will never forget when my Brother got Super Mario Bros. 3 for his birthday, we completely skipped the cake. We used to sneak down in the middle of the night just to play it. The Chain-chop was based off Shigeru Miyamoto's neighbors dog which terrified him as a kid. I went through the same thing walking home from my friends house at night!

I think my favorite enemy of SMB3 is the Paragoomba, just because I remember how mind-bending it was the first time I saw a goomba with wings and how uniquely they act, especially the light one that flies high up in the air and comes down for a landing and sometimes hovers over you out of range. I also really like the Kuribo's Goomba, and the Micro-Goombas who cling to you and sometimes make blocks come alive to attack you, Goombas in this game are pretty great in general. And there's Boom-Boom who looks like a gigachad Goomba, by the way did you ever notice the timpani sound at the end of each bar of the fortress theme that sounds like "boom boom," like it's saying the name of the boss.

[@pex_the_unalivedrunk6785]

hahah! i always heard it that way too... 🎵duh-dah-duuuuh, dahh-boom boom🎵 it probably was Boom Boom in the back of the fortress on percussion, he gets mad when Mario shows up and interupts his concerto.

Chain Chomp was created from a bad childhood memory of a neighbor's vicious chained dog however, breaking free is similar to the hammer Brothers in Mario 1

Fun fact about Boo. The creator of Boo had a wife that was very shy, and usual hid her face when she started to blush, and that gave him the inspiration to how a Boo acts. Also got a follow from me. 👍

[@BlueFinch]

You got that wrong. The idea is that his wife was kind to your face, but was vicious behind closed doors. I know it isn't nice, but that was the actual lore.

[@StoneColdBowlingBall]

Theory: Ptooies got their spike balls because some Spikes have a business selling the spike balls they produce which is good for Piranha Plants to play with and aren't hungry.

[@holdingpattern245]

Even though Buster Beetle is called a beetle, I feel like this must have been a mistake, he doesn't have any beetle traits like resisting fireballs or going in a shell or walking on all fours, he seems more like a hammer bro type enemy who walks upright and throws things at you (like the boomerang bros, fire bros, Spike, and Lakitu), they also usually have a little shell which could be the cause of the confusion.

[@aaronflowers8881]

For years I thought the Buzzy Beetle was actually a beetle. They are actually turtles so I guess Buster Beetle and Parabeetles are turtles too.

[@charliep5139]

Awesome video. You have the perfect voice for this topic narration!

My favorite boss was Lemmy from World 6. I'd play the game just to fight him at times. The bouncing balls were unique & World 6 itself was also my favorite world. I admit, Ludwig was a faster & more aggressive version of Roy.

I love watching your videos because of your mastery of the game and how the original games are practically playgrounds for you. When we had only a few NES games, you can never go wrong with having Super Mario to go to. Once we beaten it, all we have left is the various fun stages to revisit and explore and it becomes a form of play and exploration. Only when we get a game genie it turns out singular game into an endless possibility. That was also me and it was great memories.

[@wrightstudiosllc]

[@mikemurphy5898]

I totally forgot that you couldn't save on Mario 3. Looking back on it, that's crazy. I can't imagine people being cool with that today. It's essentially a 4+ hour commitment without warps... for me, at least. I was never that good. Edit: wait, I forgot this was the internet. By "never that good," I meant, the first time I played the game, I was 6 years old and beat the whole game without warps or power ups in 45 minutes. Ya, that's what I meant.

Chain Chomp was my favorite! I'm glad he made a strange appearance in LttP's Turtle Rock.

[@JMan1380]

Mario 3 really is the best game in the series. It set the standard for 2D Mario games. Good choices on favorite enemies. I will always loathe Boss Bass. The Sun however is really easy. I can see how people have a hard time with it, I breeze right through the desert stage. A well placed turtle shell always does the trick in that level.

[@best5-4-u-2-c4]

Two things I learned in this video. 1)Bowser couldn't touch you: I never knew this because I avoided him like the plague. 2) Chain chomp can break free: I never had the patience to stick around to observe that as a pre-teen/teen playing this game in the 90's

Part 3 is the best one of all time. I kno some ppl will say World is, but I disagree. The lack of powerups in World hurt it for me. I love World too, but come on.

It wasn't til years later when I played World on SNES9X that I learned that it was great too in it's own way.

Boss Bass???!!! Is this a regional thing??? I always knew her as Big Bertha. Which is funny, if you've ever seen the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie. I remember being 10 years old in the theater, and my mom could not figure out why I was losing my shit laughing when a black woman with huge breasts comes on screen, and says her name is Big Bertha. I burst out laughing at the "casting" for that character. And was dying when Mario stuck his face down her cleavage. That was such a weird movie.....I had to explain to my mom that the black woman with the red dress is supposed to be a fish, and that the street performer is supposed to be a human shaped mushroom. My mom just said "This movie is on more drugs than the video game!"
