Super Mario Bros 3! by 8th grader Landon L

If you were alive during the 80s, then you would have been able to witness firsthand the release of the masterpiece of a videogame that is Super Mario Brothers 3. In Mario 3, players travel through eight worlds with each depicting a different part of the SUper Mario World. These intricately designed levels house numerous iconic powerups and enemies like the Fire Flower and Goombas respectively, and today I will be demonstrating how you can easily skip over six of these worlds and beat the game extremely quickly, which is extremely helpful if you want to squeeze in a little bit of gaming in a short amount of time. So with no more prattle, let's get into it! 

Step #1

Have fun as you play through the first two levels of this introductory world!

Step #2

Once you reach level 1-3 (the one with Mario) you are going to want to have fun playing through the level until you reach a cartian platform and crouch on that platform (also listed below).

After holding crouch for several seconds, Mario will fall into the background of the level (pictured below) allowing you to run to the right, past the end of the level, and into a prize room to receive a magical flute (pictured below) which will allow you to fast travel to world 2 or 3. But don’t get too excited, we are only half way done!

Step #3

Next you must play through the remainder of the world until you reach the castle, then playthrough the level until you reach a large door ( pictured below).

Once you reach this door, you must utilize the tanooki power up conveniently placed in the item block to the left, and run at full speed to fly above the ceiling (pictured below) of the room into a secret room with a treasure chest, which contains another magical flute (also pictured below).

Step #5

Defeat the boss of the tower, Lemy (Pictured below) and once you enter world two (pictured below), utilize the two flutes one after another, traveling to the farthest possible world until you reach world eight (also pictured below).

Step#6

Now that you have successfully cheesed your way to world 8, you can quickly playthrough the various challenging levels and defeat Bowser far more quickly than usual! Now last but not least make sure to have fun while you save the princess!
