Super Mario Bros. 3!!!!

The game that was more successful than its predecessor, Super Mario Bros. 2.  This game features better graphics and more power-ups and more expansive worlds than the original Super Mario Bros. Instead of having a warp-zone it has power-ups that allow you to jump behind the screen and by-pass the level.  The ultimate suit in this game was the tanooki (raccoon-dog) suit.  There were other suits as well, a fireball suit, a frog suit, a boot suit and more.  The story-line is pretty much the same as the original game, but you go into castles and the kings servant, Toad, is freaking out about what happened to the royal family.

This game allows you to go backwards and move around the worlds in your own order and style.  There are also many hidden games (mini games) and more villains to defeat. This game showed that making a successful series of games was possible.  You can also share lives in two player mode, making the game last longer.  This was one of my childhood games that I am always up for playing.
