For March Mario Madness, I wanted to share this playthrough of Super Mario Brothers 3 on the Nintendo Entertainment System. This playthrough goes through every level in every world without using any warps. Many secrets and strategies are uncovered. I fail at Bowser a couple of times in order to show different ways to defeat him. Finishing the games took me about four hours and forty minutes which had to be done in one sitting! The final twenty minutes of the video are used to show many different odds and ends throughout the rest of the game. This is still one of my all-time favorite games.

**NOTICE**
This footage was recorded by me, a gamer of average skill. The recorded video is novel only because of its age, taped before the benefit of GameFAQs or access to other online assistance. The only help available came in the form of gaming magazines and word of mouth. Otherwise, expect an unremarkable run through the game featured.

The original tapes were recorded in EP (SLP), transferred to DVD recorded in LP (four hours per single-density DVD), ripped using a lossy video format, split, combined, stretched to standard SD, and reencoded with another lossy format, and then finally YouTube adds its own compression. Each transfer introduces more degradation of quality. On CRT, the original tapes and first-generation DVD recordings look clearer and more vibrant than what's being shown here. Reference quality transfer wasn't required, my old tapes are only important to me.
