Peace has returned to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] thanks to the efforts of [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]; however, [[Bowser]] sent his own seven children ([[Larry Koopa|Larry]], [[Morton Koopa Jr.|Morton]], [[Wendy O.

Koopa|Wendy]], [[Iggy Koopa|Iggy]], [[Roy Koopa|Roy]], [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]], and [[Ludwig von Koopa|Ludwig]]) to the other countries of the [[Mushroom World]], which the Mushroom Kingdom forms a gateway to. The [[Koopalings]] stole the royal [[magic wand]]s of the seven [[kings]], using them to transform the kings into various helpless creatures. [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] vow to go and stop the Koopalings' mischief, and change the kings back into their normal form. At the end of each world, Mario and Luigi fight one of the Koopalings, and after the match is over, retrieve the wand from the Koopaling to turn the king back to normal. While the brothers are out in their adventure, Bowser kidnaps [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]] and takes her to [[Bowser's Castle|his lair]] in [[Dark Land]]. The brothers go to Dark Land and fight Bowser. After defeating Bowser, they save the princess and restore peace once again. | ||

Unlike ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', this game has a world map, a feature that has been carried over into every subsequent title in the series. Like ''Super Mario Bros.'', the game features eight total worlds spread out across eight different maps, each one featuring a different name, theme, and boss; the inclusion of thematic worlds would also be carried over into future titles in the series. In the original NTSC release of this game, most of the worlds were given different names (indicated in parentheses in the table below), which are largely carried over to remakes. According to the Japanese manual, the map designs were deliberately modeled after that of a board game.<ref>Shesez (December 23, 2021).

Players can also indirectly kill each other by forcing the rival to collide with an enemy to gain victory. Players can also steal [[goal (Super Mario Bros. 3)|goal]] [[card]]s from each other by bumping from below, stomping, or using the [[POW Block]]. If a brother gets his third card, then he is instantly awarded extra lives in the main game equal to their combination. However, if a loose card is not grabbed before a round ends, it is lost.

When [[Takashi Tezuka]] was designing concepts for the game, he didn't want it to be like ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' where only the levels and difficulty was changed. Instead, he wanted to rework everything, from giving Mario an improved moveset to overhauling the character sprites. Programmers also had what they called a "Map Room", which was a long, narrow meeting room where they looked at sheet papers and programmed map data all day. There were 20 to 30 people working on ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', compared to ''Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s seven or eight. However, [[Koji Kondo]] was completely alone on sound design, and he claims it was difficult to come up with music to fit the genre of the game. Additional sounds were possible to use during ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s development which weren't able to be used during ''Super Mario Bros.''{{'}}s. The Japanese version of the game was originally planned to release in Spring of 1988, but because of the developers wanting to add so many new features, the game ended up getting pushed back another six months.<ref name=NESClassic /> | When [[Takashi Tezuka]] was designing concepts for the game, he didn't want it to be like ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'' where only the levels and difficulty was changed.

Larry also, like in the Japanese manual for the game, states before fighting Mario, that he is doing his actions specifically to avoid upsetting Bowser. In addition, similar to in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', after completing a level, Peach will supply Mario with advice via [[Holo-Peach]]es, although before the final level, her final message ends up intercepted by the main villain (Black Bowser in this case), although in this case, this resulted in her color being drained rather than being kidnapped. | ||

There are four | There are four versions of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' released for [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]]: the original Japanese version, the North American PRG0 and PRG1 versions (NES cartridges will display <code>NES-UM-USA</code> and <code>NES-UM-USA-1</code> next to the [[Official Nintendo Seal|Nintendo Seal of Quality]] respectively), and the PAL version. During the two year release gap between the Japanese version and the worldwide release of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', many changes were made while localizing the game for the international market. Many of the gameplay and level design changes for the international release were kept in the future remakes, while other changes were reverted to make the game closer to the original Japanese version. | ||

*In the Japanese version, getting hit while powered-up causes the player to automatically shrink to Small Mario like in ''Super Mario Bros.'' In the international versions, powered-up Mario is reverted to Super Mario when hit, then shrinks to Small Mario when hit again. This also applies for the Goomba's Shoe. In the Japanese version, the shoe is red as it flies offscreen, and the player is also reverted to Small Mario; the shoe retains its green color as it is removed for the international versions, and the player keeps any power-ups they had before entering the shoe. Despite these changes, the short demo that plays on the title screen still shows Mario being reduced to Small Mario when being hit by a shell when he is Raccoon Mario. This oversight was not fixed for either ''All-Stars'' or ''Advance 4''. | *In the Japanese version, getting hit while powered-up causes the player to automatically shrink to Small Mario like in ''Super Mario Bros.''
