Super Mario Bros. 3/Trivia

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Super Mario Bros. 3 is the first Platform Game to be able to scroll in every direction, including diagonally. Previous Platform Games were limited to straight up-and-down or straight left-to-right.
  • Author Phobia: Chain Chomps came from an experience Shigeru Miyamoto had as a child, when a dog chased after him as he approached but stopped just inches from him because the dog was tied to a stake.
  • No Export for You: Because the e-Reader flopped in America half of the Super Mario Advance 4 cards never made it out of Japan, which left "World e" incomplete with only one of the mini-game houses open and a rather empty e-Coin castle. Thankfully, fans have come up with a way to print out the dot codes for the remaining levels to be playable in the US version, though it's very hard to get them to work.
