Ep. 43: The Unbelievable Technical Evolution of Mario | Super Mario Bros. 3
Join the guys and guest, Jake from 8bitjoystick, as they explore what made Super Mario Bros. 3 so special, how it pushed the limits of the NES hardware, and why it continues to influence game design today — over 30 years after its release.
In this deep dive retrospective, we revisit Super Mario Bros. 3, a game that redefined platformers and became a cornerstone of Nintendo’s legacy. From its revolutionary level design and power-ups to its unforgettable soundtrack and world map system, SMB3 remains one of the greatest games ever made.
