Super Mario World 3

Super Mario World 3 is a fan-made title which is brought to life to deliver the well known character in a world that looks familiar but is in fact brand new. The game features the same core gameplay but also uses a few developer implementations.

At its core, Super Mario World 3 functions on the idea and ‘lore’ of the classic Mario. As a side scrolling platformer, you will start at the left side of the screen and make your way to the right, jumping from one platform to the other, killing or avoiding monsters.

There is gold to collect and mushrooms to eat, there are flowers that give you flame balls to throw at the incoming minions and plenty of other similar features. Just like in the original, you will face the same traditional enemies but they look a bit different here, although you can easily recognize them.

Super Mario World 3 works just fine in most part. Gameplay runs smooth, the animations are nice and the audio sets you back a few years, which is more than fine. On the other hand, it is a fan-made game and for this reason alone you should expect the game to play dead at times, without any warnings.

It might crash now and again but there are other concerns as well. For one, after jumping off a platform onto the ground, you’ll find that Mario floats or if you jump at the wrong angle, he might get stuck on the side of a floating block. There are not game breaking mishaps but they do count and at times they are unpleasant.

All in all Super Mario World 3 might not be perfect but in the world of Mario inspired clones it sits pretty well. It looks good, it has a few issues but overall, it’s a good game.
