World 3 (Super Mario Bros.)

World 3 is the third world of Super Mario Bros. (as most would guess). World 3 is the first world in the game to be set at nighttime. This world also introduces one of the most difficult enemies to defeat: the Hammer Bros. This world consists of to ground levels, one level set at the heights, and one that is a castle.

World 3-1

A Hammer Bro. as it first appears.

In the first level of world 3, many of the same obstacles are encountered. Among these are Goombas, Koopas, Piranha Plants, gaps, pipes, and of course many Brick and ? Blocks. A new addition is encountered however: the Hammer Bros. which come in pairs around two flights of Brick Blocks. This increases the difficulty by quite a lot, for the Hammer Bros. are hard to defeat if the player cannot throw fireballs.

World 3-2

World 3-2 is yet another ground level that features the basic obstacles yet again. Gaps are slightly larger in this level though, and more enemies are encountered.

World 3-3

World 3-3 is the first of only two levels that are set at great heights at night. This level features Goombas and Koopas as the only enemies. Due to the lack of enemies, larger gaps are found throughout the level. Moving platforms and suspended platforms are also encountered in this level that require skillful jumping and maneuvering in order to survive.
