About this game

Super Mario Bros. 3 is a single-player and multiplayer side-scrolling platform game.

The story follows Mario and Luigi as they travel through the Mushroom World after Bowser and his seven children, the Koopalings, steal magical wands from the kings of each realm.

The Koopalings use the wands to transform the kings into animals, while Princess Peach is once again kidnapped and held hostage.

The brothers must restore the kings to their true forms, reclaim the wands, and ultimately confront Bowser to rescue the princess.

Gameplay builds on the foundations of the earlier Super Mario Bros. titles but expands them significantly with larger levels, greater variety, and new mechanics.

Players move across themed worlds, each composed of multiple stages connected by a world map.

Navigation on the map allows the choice of paths, access to Toad Houses for bonus items, and encounters with wandering Hammer Bros. or other enemies.

Levels feature the classic platforming formula of running, jumping, and stomping on enemies, combined with obstacles such as pipes, moving platforms, and environmental hazards.

Power-ups play a central role, combining returning items such as the Super Mushroom and Fire Flower with new additions that introduce more diverse abilities.

The Super Leaf transforms Mario into Raccoon Mario, allowing him to attack with his tail and briefly fly after gaining running speed.

Other suits include the Frog Suit for enhanced swimming, the Tanooki Suit for flying and temporary stone transformations, and the Hammer Suit, which allows throwing hammers similar to those of the Hammer Bros.

The Starman returns, granting invincibility for a short period, while the rare Warp Whistle lets players skip ahead to later worlds.

Progression through the game requires clearing standard platform stages, fortress mini-castles guarded by Boom Boom, airship stages where the Koopalings are fought, and Bowser’s stronghold.

About Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS (2011) added glasses-free stereoscopic 3D and a second analog input to Nintendo's handheld line, eventually building a library that rivaled the DS in size and quality. Because the eShop for digital purchases has since closed, physical 3DS cartridges are the only way to preserve access to many titles — a dynamic that's pushing more collectors toward cartridge-based copies even for games that were originally digital-first.

Gamevaro tracks Super Mario Bros. 3 for Nintendo 3DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Adding Super Mario Bros. 3 to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This 3DS release dates back to 1988.

Condition matters a lot for collector value: loose (cartridge/disc only), complete-in-box (CIB, with original packaging and manual) and factory-sealed copies are tracked separately because the price gap between them can be significant, especially for older releases.
