Yea, the Tanooki suit was pretty cool, but it's all about the Hammer suit in my opinion. That was easily the best powerup of the game. They could have made the bosses (and mini-bosses) in this game a little harder, but other than that it was a pretty good title. Probably the best of the Mario games. Well, maybe not, but it's up there anyway, and arguably the best at least.I remember back when I was in elementary school, I would go to a friend's house and we would play the entire game and beat every single level, switching off on every death or level completion. This was on the NES, where you couldn't save the game like you can now with the newer versions. Those were good times. I love world 5. They only had one level where you go to use the shoe powerup, and only one level where you got to ride the flying beetles, but those were probably my 2 favorite levels in the entire game. I wish they had more of them.Luckily, in the GBA version, there was an e-reader level card with more flying beetle riding. I think I have most of the level cards for that game, but not the really rare airship one. I need to get around to using the .sav file on VBA that has all the level cards in there so I can get around to playing those last few.

I could only play this game on the GBA remake, but it's probably one of the best Mario games out there. The awesome powerups and the secret areas made this game totally awesome.My favorite worlds include W1, W4, W6, and W8.I'd really love to play the original on the NES though.

I love it! The music, the maps, it's one of the only games that in a way I prefer the original NES graphics. There's something so strangely awesome about an 8-bit Giant Land. The suits, enemies, Koopa Kids, it's got everything. I think Super Mario World is slightly better, but Super Mario Bros 3 just has a higher place in my heart than SMW.
