In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', most stages have a time limit of 300 time units, due to the game having much shorter levels. [[World 6-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 6-5]], {{world-link|8|fort|World 8-Fortress}}, and {{world-link|8|bowser3|World 8-Bowser's Castle (Super Mario Bros. 3)}} are the only three stages that have a time limit of 400 units. All of the Hammer Bros. [[Enemy Course]]s and some very short stages, such as {{world-link|2|desert|World 2-Desert}}, have a time limit of 200 units; the map screen's pipe tunnels also have this limit in the original NES version.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the time bonus is ×100, ×200, and ×500 for defeating [[Boom Boom]], the [[Koopalings]], and [[Bowser]], respectively. The time bonus can also be doubled (like all gained [[point]]s) if the [[Teki Power Up! Tokuten x2!!|red switch card]] is active. The [[Timer yukkuri!|green switch card]] can also affect the time limit by slowing down the first 50 time units.
